New Mediaweek podcasts: Jack Irish, TV latest, Spotlight on Mark Llewellyn

Mediaweek podcasts: Mark Llewellyn

Mediaweek editor James Manning sat down with Seven’s Spotlight executive producer Mark Llewellyn. The sometimes “controversial” TV producer spoke about the success the channel is having with the current Sunday night season of 7News Spotlight specials.

Llewellyn speaks about the Spotlight episode that featured Craig McLachlan. He reveals how he built a trusted relationship with McLachlan and we asked how the show got the outtakes from the ABC interviews with McLachlan’s accusers.

Jack Irish

The final season of ABC TV’s Jack Irish was the subject of a special Mediaweek podcast. For one last time Guy Pearce is back in the final series of Jack Irish on ABC and iview. The episode features screenwriter Matt Cameron and producer Ian Collie speaking about the final four episodes and working with Australia's finest actors.

Mercado & Manning

A new episode of Mercado and Manning on TV features a big assortment of new programs. We find series for people wanting new crime drama after the excellent Mare of Easttown – The Pact on Stan and Smother on iview. There’s also high praise for Atlantic Crossing and The Unusual Suspects from SBS On Demand, Physical on AppleTV+ and Clarkson’s Farm from Prime Video. Viewers with Foxtel or Binge can watch the second season of Breeders, while people who can watch Discovery channel are recommended to track down the compelling Expedition to the Edge which features Sydney filmmaker Tim Charody amongst the crew on the epic journey.
