TWO AM I Richard Baker: The art of observation, striving for the truth and diving headfirst into investigative storytelling
Richard Baker is one of Australia’s most creative, engaging and groundbreaking investigative journalists with five Walkley Awards and 15 Melbourne Press Club Quill Awards to his name. And when it comes to creating compelling and unique audio, Richard is world class with the likes of Phoebe’s Fall, Wrong Skin and The Last Voyage of The Pong Su in his podcast back catalogue. Investigative journalism requires patience and perseverance, which Richard has in spades, but his key to developing solid story ideas comes from the art of observation. He never leaves home without his notebook but does leave judgement at the door in pursuit of his craft and seeking out the truth. Following a successful career at The Age newspaper Richard took the leap and launched a premium storytelling company with the ambition to be the southern hemisphere’s best independent creator of podcasts, documentaries and limited series.
