Our guest for Ch3 Podcast 11 is the wonderful Andrea Denholm - a creative producer in the Australian entertainment industry, an inspiring female in a position of leadership, and a passionate storyteller in her own right. Nick and Lauren sit down with Andrea to explore her journey from corporate lawyer to accomplished creative and executive producer, and some of the knowledge that she’s gained from her career so far.

Her fingerprints are across some defining Australian television shows from SeaChange, at the start of her career, to more recent bold, ambitious, sometimes fun, and always deeply human series at Tony Ayres Productions - including Fires, Spooky Files, and The Survivors, which was in the top 10 in 85 countries on Netflix for over four weeks this year.

We Talk About:

• The role of a Producer
• Essential Producer attibutes
• Career highlights and a “seachange”
• Curiosity and the call to adventure
• Inside a writers room
• Corporate law to creative producing
• Throwback wisdom from Sue Maslin
• Mentorship and championing emerging talent
• Self-care and avoiding burn-out
• Some tangible tools for our future selves
• Conundrum: Ethical manipulation and truth
