Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

Emma Cowdroy is the CEO of the Australian Associated Press.

There’s been a lot to say about media diversity in Australia, and in the light of Facebook banning news for a few days there in February - we were all held to the light of what the world looks like when there’s only one or two lenses to look through.

Media diversity is so vitally important - and the Australian Associated Press is a massive part of that.

If you can’t see it, you don’t know about it.

And the AAP has been a part of making sure those stories are being told right across the news cycle for years now.

It’s so vitally important that power is held to account.

And independent journalism, independent photojournalism has never ever been more important.

She hosted her own chat show titled “Susie” on the WIN network and is a familiar face to Australians far and wide.

Susie is also someone who lives with hearing loss, and like me - is also an ambassador for Connect Hearing.

It’s hearing awareness week and as someone who wears hearing aids myself - I was happy to be able to talk about what it’s like with someone who understands. We get into that, and a whole lot more in this wide-ranging conversation.

Simon Griffiths is the co-founder and head-honcho of “Who Gives a Crap” a sustainable and ethical toilet paper company that launched in 2013 when Simon sat on a toilet, non-stop for 50 straight hours live on a web stream - until he’d pre-sold all $50,000 worth of their initial order.

Since then WGAC has tripled in size, but they still donate 50% of their profits to help build toilets in developing countries.
