After one of the most extraordinary months Australian media has seen, Mumbrella publisher Tim Burrowes joins us to make sense of it all.

Why did Eddie McGuire's Gold experiment stumble so badly? Was ARN's decision to part ways with Karl Stefanovic driven purely by advertiser pressure? And has the influence of the MFW fundamentally changed how media companies recruit talent?

We also examine the rise of independent creators, Kyle's subscription project, Jackie O's legal future, declining radio revenue, and whether 2026 will be remembered as the year the old media model finally began to give way to something new.

Plus, rapid-fire predictions on KIIS, 2Day FM, Channel 9, ARN, and who wins the next battle for breakfast.

Audio featured in this episode includes excerpts from MFW 'Warts & All', ABC Sydney, The Karl Stefanovic Show and ARN.
