In a firecracker conversation with Jodie, seasoned broadcaster and emcee Annabelle ‘AB’ Brett takes us through her whirlwind decade in media. Sharing what’s gone wrong, what’s gone right, and why she wouldn’t change a single step.
From surviving on pub trivia dinners and moving city to city, to landing major radio gigs and navigating the highs and heartbreaks of the industry; AB speaks with the kind of honesty that feels like a deep exhale. Expect raw takes on rejection, imposter syndrome, self-funding creative ventures, and calling BS on outdated industry gatekeeping.
Whether you’re plotting your next big leap or just need a reminder to back yourself unapologetically, this one’s packed with fire, humour, and heart.
