@emilynussbaum.bsky.social hello! My name’s Jess, about 8 years ago I babysat your kids in Melb while you were in town for the writers festival (they were delightful!). Anyway now that I’ve HOPEFULLY established I’m not crazed & you’ve relied on me before (😂) just wanted to recommend a show in NYC?
Once again I am reminded of this fact.
Jess McGuire@jessmcguire.bsky.social · 5mo agoI don’t reckon I trust a single legacy media entertainment reviewer these days 😂 in fact there are some I only trust to be wrong about things. “Oh, five stars from X? Steaming pile of crap then. Two stars? We should give it a go!”
“A rollicking read” is how I would describe this
Crikey@crikey.com.au · 2mo agoFrom junior producers to senior Nine executives, Tina Quinn speaks to a litany of insiders to get the real story on Karl Stefanovic — and how his career went from strength, to strength, to scandal. www.crikey.com.au/2026/07/09/k...
This anti Haaland missive might be Peter Fitzsimons worst take. Oh you’ve been watching the World Cup and your view is that Erling Haaland is your standard arrogant soccer player? YIKES MY DUDE www.smh.com.au/sport/in-a-w...
In a World Cup of poseurs, this trio would fill the podium
Are elite soccer players, as a breed, up themselves? The evidence of the last week in the USA would suggest so.

Not to be a dick about it but it is BAFFLING to me that a news org would bother with a live blog of a sporting match & not have the current score RIGHT AT THE VERY TOP My hatred for news site live blogs - be they on footy games or awards ceremonies or a day in parliament - remains as strong as ever
Hearing the unholy screams from my neighbours house as I relax quietly in a hot bath tells me the Blues have scored again?
Bonds needs to front senate estimates & account for their lack of political balance! It’s time we demanded fair representation across the political spectrum when it comes to underwear models. Wangs should be positioned in the direction of their allegiances (they can use Vote Compass for accuracy)

I can tell my wife is away & I’m bored cos a) I’ve made an impassioned post against littering on the local community fb page and it’s going OFF, and b) on a different FB page someone asked for a bird ID and I correctly said red rumped parrot aloud to myself & fist pumped when I was correct

I know Joe Bogan is a lock in but I’ve also enjoyed seeing Temu Tucker floating around if we need a back up
Gosh a skeptic might think, wow did Karl create this podcast knowing that his time and paychecks at Nine were coming to an end because commercial media doesn't have the budget it once did? www.smh.com.au/culture/tv-a...
Today show host Karl Stefanovic to leave Nine after Tommy Robinson podcast fallout
The decision clears the way for a major shake-up of breakfast television, but also risks attracting the ire of the presenter’s new army of conservative backers.

Disappointed that very little (ie zero) biography of 26 year old was provided in this piece.
The Sydney Morning Herald (unofficial)@smhaustralia.nzcow.com · 3mo ago📢 A family of six outbid a 26-year-old to claim the last unrenovated house in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held streets.
As someone who makes daily radio, I’ve found that the two worst professions to try and get interviews from are: - travel writers: always away or if they’re back, still awful to try & nail down. I respect that they don’t care about media, and why would they? They live the dream! - peptides experts
Wow I guess I’d better go grab some things from House before their clearance sale finally winds up
Ahh yes, the left, famous for its lack of infighting - never ever known to criticise itself into submission because it would rather let perfect be the enemy of good www.smh.com.au/world/north-...
It’s so funny to me when commercial broadcasters on tv or radio make announcements they’re launching a side hustle podcasts cos they’re passionately craving having deep, curiosity driven conversations with interesting people & it’s like… have you considered bringing this energy to your actual job?
An extraordinary memorial to James Valentine today, but I think I’ve been fully undone by Roy Valentine’s hilarity, tenderness, and perfect expression of what it’s like to lose a parent - to cancer, especially. Weeping.
I don’t reckon I trust a single legacy media entertainment reviewer these days 😂 in fact there are some I only trust to be wrong about things. “Oh, five stars from X? Steaming pile of crap then. Two stars? We should give it a go!”
My very talented better half wrote a tribute to James Valentine. He set the bar for what public broadcasting could be. A place for fun, for silliness, for joy, for ‘nothing’ as one of his many beloved segments proved. @jessmcguire.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
James Valentine showed us what public broadcasting could be at its very best. It’s a legacy I hope to live up to | Jess McGuire
The public grief is enormous but it keeps giving way to joy, to moments of hilarity that have stayed with listeners for years

So deeply sad about this. James Valentine was just such a top class broadcaster, but more importantly, a wonderful human. ❤️

Opening night of my comedy festival show - a career retrospective, among other things - is this evening! And a great way to start my day was seeing my love letter to being a removalist published in @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
As a furniture removalist I learned all mattresses are stained, and that’s fine
You’ll never catch me owning a glass dining table now I’ve moved so many. But it was the people I worked alongside who made the job what it was

On my way BACK to my old stomping ground of Triple R to be interviewed on Uncommon Sense with @nickfeik.bsky.social… Wish me luck!
Two things. 1 Just realised how much my brain has been damaged by screens/my poor attention span cos I just tried to pause the Matildas match 2 Also I know more names of Matildas players than I ever did Socceroos and… I sort of love that. Couldn’t have imagined this future as a little girl
