The golden era of television salaries might be on the way out according to The Australian. With networks slashing budgets, renegotiating deals, even million-dollar faces aren't safe from the red pen.
As someone who has worked in podcasting for the past 5 years and radio 5 years before that, you can feel the panic among radio teams about “their jobs being taken” by podcasters. But what is missing from this narrative is what you portray here without using the words “toxic”. Radio monopolies are a toxic environment brought about unfair incentives and an over commercialisation of what was once a creative setting.
