The Columnist: Recent Episodes
Bad Producer Productions
Justin Smith is a writer and radio host in Melbourne, Australia. His column in The Herald Sun is read by hundreds of thousands of people each week. In this podcast he goes even deeper, speaking with the people he's written about, and the ones he wants to write about.
But it’s not just one man tapping out his opinion on the keyboard. Justin lets people tell their own stories in their own words. And while he lets them talk, he puts the smell of Melbourne in the nose of the listener and the reader — like the smell of coffee or the inside of a tram on a wet morning.
Justin is a talker, a writer, a storyteller, a campaigner and a good listener. He is The Columnist.
The Columnist is produced by Jay Mueller as part of the Bad Producer Podcast Network.
The Columnist writes about a new survey that shows most Australians can't cook, and talks to one of Australia’s best storytellers — Adam Shand — about why he can do most things but still can’t boil an egg.
