It's episode 30! Thank you for all the love and support on this journey to date with much more to come.

“I did a lot of work experience in school and university before a radio reporting role at the ABC. It did take perseverance and knocking on doors, which is scary. I learnt a lot about the principles of journalism - persistent, be courteous, keep trying and don’t take no for an answer. Your job is to keep chasing people till you get them on for an interview.”

Take flight into Kellie's journey - learning the importance of hard work early on and having the support of her parents and siblings - with a desire to go into music or radio.

We talk about her early break, learnings being in the music industry, which seemed very glamorous on the outside but not as enjoyable whilst doing it. The concept of Flerning - failing & learning, Spending time at Oxford working for reuters learning from smart people around the world, personal setbacks including an injury that affected her ability for a period of time.

Kellie shares her first hand insights on podcasting, finding the vision for the platform at the ABC in 2005 before the iPhone, what’s ahead for podcasting and her own venture into starting a podcasting consulting and production company Deadset Studios and Curveball Podcast

Enjoy!
