Chances are, you’ve probably seen a Cheek Media Instagram post on your friend’s stories. With its signature pastel purple branding and whip-smart commentary, Cheek Media is one of Australia’s largest independent progressive media voices. 

Hannah Ferguson is the Co-Founder and CEO of the digital news platform founded in 2020. It now has over 80k followers with topics ranging from Australian politics to celebrity news. Hannah’s debut non-fiction, Bite Back, has also now hit the shelves. This insightful and smart book delivers much-needed conversations around politics and feminism. 

In this ep, we chat about what it's like building an independent media platform in the Instagram age, how left-leaning online spaces can end up being exclusionary, and why we need to have those tough conversations with our loved ones.
