Clair Weaver’s path to journalism wasn’t the usual one. At 19, she was flying long-haul as a flight attendant, wondering what might come next. But she already knew the answer: journalism.

She studied remotely through the UK’s National Council for the Training of Journalists and cut her teeth at a local Hertfordshire paper, before moving on to the Watford Observer and then the fast-paced newsroom of the Evening Standard.

Today, Weaver heads up LiSTNR’s news, crime and documentary podcasts, overseeing original investigations that have helped make the platform Australia’s leading factual podcast network. And it’s a space audiences can’t seem to get enough of.
