We're excited to introduce you to a new podcast we think you're gonna love!

The Golden Couple of News are back. And so are the spiral perms, shoulder pads and boxy 80s cars.  

The Newsreader Podcast is the ABC’s official companion podcast to the hit ABC TV drama The Newsreader, returning on September 10.    

Hosted by journo buddies of over 20 years, Leigh Sales and Lisa Millar, The Newsreader Podcast gives an access-all-areas pass to on-set gossip; never before heard stories from the writers' room and the inside rail on the real-life news events that inspired the series.  

Join Lisa and Leigh as they meet the stars of the show, chat with the creators and dive-deep, episode-by-episode into the nostalgic 80s world of The Newsreader.  

The Newsreader Season 2 airs on ABC TV and iView, Sundays from September 10, with podcast episodes dropping straight after the show.
