All The President's Minutes - Minute 96 with Melissa Matheson

One Heat Minute Productions

All the President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 96, I talk with the head of editorial at Pedestrian Group, Melissa Matheson. Mel and I discuss that barbecues and lamingtons make Australia's election day the best in the world, the difficulty and the necessity of trusting journalists and their sources as an editor and the camaraderie for her journalistic peers past and present revisiting this minute in particular.
