À propos de ce contenu audio

We used to be journalists, but now we mostly just bitch about them. (Kidding. Kind of.) We also break down broken news.


This weekly podcast brings you honest and original media analysis from two insiders who’ve broken plenty of news and been broken by it, too. Hosted by long-suffering journalists and even longer-suffering friends, Jan Fran and Antoinette Lattouf, We Used to Be Journos is your guide to the way the media works.


Join us every Wednesday as we unpack the headlines you see, and the power you don’t. We’ll take you through the week’s sketchy editorial decisions, suspect sources and thinly veiled bigotry. We’ll show you how the media sausage is made —so you know what you’re being fed.


Armed with a low tolerance for spin, zero patience for BS, and just enough humour (and delusion) to keep working in the media, We Used to Be Journos serves up hot, sharp, unapologetic media tea.

    • Narrative war over Iran's protests + Trump’s press sec blows up at journalist, InDaily SA muscles in on Murdoch

      Narrative war over Iran's protests + Trump’s press sec blows up at journalist, InDaily SA muscles in on Murdoch
      Jan 20 2026

      In this episode Jan and Antoinette look at the fight to control the narrative over protests in Iran where the death toll has exceeded 3000.

      With an internet block out, state media tightly controlled, foreign actors bragging about armed interference, and exiled figures presenting themselves as the solution, protestors and their plight largely disappear from the story - by design.

      Meanwhile, Trump’s press secretary snaps at another reporter - this time to dodge a basic question about the shooting of an unarmed mother by an ICE agent.

      There’s also a shout out to some responsible reporting on neo-Nazi material and a peak at the growing influence of InDaily SA, the newspaper muscling in on Murdoch's territory in Adelaide.

    • Randa Abdel-Fattah on the collapse of the Adelaide Writers’ Festival

      Randa Abdel-Fattah on the collapse of the Adelaide Writers’ Festival
      Jan 13 2026

      In this episode, Jan Fran speaks with the woman at the centre of the collapse of the Adelaide Writers Festival, Palestinian author and academic Randa Abdel-Fattah.


      The conversation is blunt and urgent. They talk about censorship, lobby pressure on cultural institutions, what it means to keep speaking as a Palestinian Australian as media outlets launder bad faith attacks, and the focus drifts anywhere but Gaza.
