36.00 – Question of the Week for Drinkwise.

Scott Seymour via Facebook asked “With many journalists working across a number of media companies how is it determined where to break a story?

For example, let’s say we have a journalist that worked for AFL Media, MMM and also did a podcast produced by SEN.

The confirmation of a huge story our intrepid journalist has been waiting for comes through whilst producing the SEN podcast.

Does the Journo;

break the story on the podcast, giving SEN a scoop they can air on their various platforms almost immediately?

finish the podcast and then get on to the story, hoping it doesn’t break elsewhere in the meantime (for example with the Herald/Sun)?

stop producing the podcast, contact their other outlets to break the story and then return to the podcast?”

Mark Macca asked “Hutchy. Do you feel vindicated because you pushed for the AFL fixture to start early to take advantage of the COVID free situation in Feb?”

39.00 – Hutchy’s gratuitous lockdown memories of his run ins with Justin Timberlake and his ‘Jedi Minds’ moment with Cameron Diaz.

Ask Hutchy and Damo a question - head to Facebook or Twitter or email thesoundingboard@sen.com.au - and send us your suggestions for 'The Soundies' Awards using the hastag #thesoundies
