Ep. 1149 Felicity Carter | Uncorked

Welcome to episode 1149, in which host Polly Hammond interviews Felicity Carter, this week on Uncorked.

Just arrived home from MediaFest22 in Washington DC, Felicity Carter and I sit down to discuss the state of journalism, insights from the conference, what it takes to make it in content these days…oh, and what we learned from five days of eating and drinking in the US capitol. This is a no-holds barred chat between friends, and we invite you to come along! Let’s get into it.
