Better Make it Quick: Jane Kennedy

Osher Günsberg
About this episode

In 2015 I was joined by Jane Kennedy - actor, author, writer, casting director, producer, comedian, mother of five and founding member of Working Dog.


In this episode Jane talks about the first famous Aussie she met at the very beginning of her career as a producer in radio, how her and her team at Working Dogs get their inspiration and Jane’s take on today’s news media.
