‘Just a little too arrogant and authoritarian’: Barrie Cassidy on how the ABC reacts to criticism

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade.

Today’s episode features an interview with one of Australia’s most storied media figures – former Insiders host Barrie Cassidy, who shares his unfiltered thoughts on the state of the Australian media landscape, the ABC, Michelle Guthrie’s turbulent tenure as ABC boss, the devolution of the prime minister’s press office, and the unhealthy coziness between politicians and journalists that’s developed in recent years.

Further down, the major stocks on the Unmade Index see a bounce back after a rough fortnight.
