In this episode of the Beyond Broadcast podcast, I speak with Jane Yee, A voice and face that’s shaped New Zealand media for more than two decades.

Moving through various formats including radio, television print and podcasting - Jane has a natural ability to fit into roles across the spectrum.

Since there was a lot to unpack we jumped straight into discussing her work with the cult radio station Channel Z before transitioning to discussing the early challenges of moving into television and being front of cam.

We take a look at how music television played an integral part in the NZ music scene and essentially was a dominant voice in promoting local music and establishing local artists.

Along the way we get a couple of sneaky behind the scenes stories on her various pivots and memorable moments during some of the crazy late night shifts and interactions with fans.

The move into music PR and how it was a natural fit and how Jane played a part in the Bieber fever chaos in New Zealand back in the day.

Finally, her early foresight into diving head first into podcasting and how she established the Spinoff Podcast Network and is now tackling the newsroom with the team at NZ Herald - A vast departure from her previous work in music and entertainment.
