    The ultimate swing state

     

    In this episode we compare the challenges of building a coalition of voters with the idea of growing an audience big enough to win the ratings. Can Kyle and Jackie O find a pathway to success through Melbourne’s suburban women or do they need to think differently about this swing state?

    We also talk with Tim Burrowes from Unmade about this week's senate estimates hearing which focused on Kyle and Jackie’s extreme content and whether more needs to be done to protect broadcast audiences.
