She’s promoting a book so of course, that’s how it works.

Future Women launch new podcast series interviewing inspiring women

Future Women is interviewing women on their motivations and inspirations in a new 10-part podcast series ‘Drive’ hosted by 9News journalist and TV presenter Georgie Gardner.

The podcast features interviews with a range of diverse women including actor Rachel Griffiths, podcaster Aminatou Sow, the AFL’s Tanya Hosch, chef Danielle Alvarez, designer Alexandra Smart, Culture Amp’s Aubrey Blanche, Adopt Change founder Deborra-Lee Furness, and entrepreneur Shivani Gopal. It is sponsored by Uber Eats.

Episode one, available on July 29, sees former prime minister Julia Gillard discuss her new book, Women and Leadership: Real Lives, Real Lessons, co-authored with economist Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Gardner, a highly experienced TV host, says she has always wanted to try podcasting.

“I really warmed to the longer form of story-telling and jumped at the opportunity to work with the Future Women team. The diverse array of women I have chatted to were as delightful as they were interesting, and I relished the chance to immerse myself in their worlds and learn from their experiences,” she says.

Future Women founder Helen McCabe says Drive was another brilliant collaboration with Nine talent following the success of Next Generation Innovators with Sylvia Jeffreys and then Brooke Boney.

“Georgie’s warmth and curiosity translated beautifully to this format and we are so proud to be releasing Drive with her at the helm,” McCabe says. “We began work on this while everyone was in lockdown which enhanced our desire to produce something uplifting and inspiring. Georgie Gardner is so well known on one level as a News Presenter and Breakfast TV Host, our hope with “Drive” is for the audience to get to know her a little better.”

Uber’s Head of Communications Australia and New Zealand, Peta Fitzgerald says: “Uber Eats is delighted to continue our affiliation with the Future Women movement. Not only is this an important property for quality, in depth journalism it is increasingly becoming a go-to source for future leaders across business, politics and social enterprise. As Uber Eats continues to focus on moving what matters, we know series like the Drive podcast will continue to tell moving, relatable and inspiring stories that matter and that is something we are proud to stand alongside.”

Drive is the latest podcast by Future Women following the success of Anonymous Was A Woman, the Future Women Leadership Series and Next Generation Innovators.

Award-winning podcast Trace returns with series two: The Informer

ABC’s Trace podcast returns today to probe the story of Nicola Gobbo – one of Australia’s most controversial and high profile barristers.

The full story behind what made Nicola Gobbo, the barrister and gangland lawyer, turn police informer has never been told… and the implications are real and enormous. It‘s a story we might think we all know, but this is not a typical crime story.

Trace: The Informer investigates a complex world of covert policing and underworld operations that spans decades.

Host Rachael Brown and co-reporter Josie Taylor examine what makes a lawyer representing some of Australia’s most dangerous criminals risk her career, and even her life, to feed information to the police.

Trace: The Informer launches as the Royal Commission into the Management of Police Informants, which was sparked by Nicola Gobbo, nears its conclusion.

Nicola Gobbo remains in hiding but Brown and Taylor have secured the only media interview with her since the exposure of her secret identity as Lawyer X.

Bringing never-before broadcast information and recordings to light, they investigate how Gobbo was permitted, and even encouraged, to turn informer. And they ask whether the very organisation entrusted to uphold the law – the police force – has in fact undermined it.

Trace s extraordinary Walkley Award-winning first season in 2017 investigated the 40 year old cold case of Melbourne mother Maria James, and it sparked an influx of public tip-offs and fresh leads. It ultimately prompted a fresh coronial inquest.

Trace won the Innovation award at the 2017 Walkley Awards recognising excellence in journalism, Melbourne Press Club’s 2017 Quill awards for Podcasting and for Innovation in Journalism, and the 2018 Australian Podcast Awards in the Documentary category.
