This week one of Australiaâs highest paid media personalities parted ways with the Nine Network where heâs worked for the last 21 years. He is now officially independent⊠or free as he puts it. But free to do what?
In this episode, Jan Fran explores Karlâs transformation into a right wing culture warrior and why she reckons his quest for âfree speechâ is a load of bollocks.

In this episode Jan and Antoinette look at the way both Donald Trump and Pauline Hanson used Keir Starmerâs resignation to further their own anti-immigrant, anti-climate change agenda and how the media helped out.
Plus, Gina Rinehartâs âBush Summitâ speech gets the coverage she asked for but not the coverage it deserved.
And we unpack the decision by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency - APHRA - to adopt the IHRA definition of anti semitism. We look at how this might quash criticism of Israel, why medical practitioners are ropable and why the media has been mute.
Thereâs also a shout out to you - our Etterati - for your feedback after last weekâs episode on how we can better contribute to online discourse.

Far-right leader Pauline âthere are no good Muslimsâ Hanson walked into the National Press Club this week with her middle finger firmly up to the journalists in the room. It stayed up for the duration of her 90 minute address.
And while some reporters tried to hold her to account, most gave her free reign to espouse a disjointed, frenetic, racist agenda that in Jan Franâs view will only lead to a darker more insular Australia.

In this episode, Antoinette fact-checks two feel-good narratives that emerged after the Socceroosâ World Cup win over TĂŒrkiye - including claims about Australiaâs youngest-ever World Cup goalscorer. Yes we know sheâs a killjoy...but also right.
Plus, Jan brings some inconvenient reminders to help unpack Anthony Albaneseâs response to the latest US-Iran ceasefire deal.
Also: the push to overhaul the Australian Press Council aka Australiaâs media watchdog. Hint: itâs a toothless tiger and may or may not be running cover for the Murdoch press. And an introspective chat about online hate - are we a help or a hindrance? Feedback wanted.

This week Jan looks at the mammoth trilateral security pact known as AUKUS and asks how much are those submarines costing us again? Be warned, thereâs not a clear answer to that question because even those in charge don't really know.
Letâs just say hundreds of billions of dollars for deliverables that just keep changing??
Thatâs a lot of tax payer dollars at stake - not to mention the billions of dollars weâve already thrown away on quite literally nothing. Youâd think that would incense the media as much as other government spending but not so.

In his first interview since his trial ended, pianist Jayson Gillham sits down with Antoinette Lattouf to talk through his 15-day Federal Court trial against the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Jayson believes the MSO canceled his performance after he dedicated a piece of music to Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza.
He talks about why he fought back so hard, the cost of standing his ground and what this high-stakes battle taught him about the state of our arts and media landscape.
Plus, there's a little surprise if you make it to the very end of the episode.

In this episode, Jan and Antoinette react to news that Charlie Pickering's swipe at Grace Tame didnât breach ABCâs code of conduct, which leaves them very confused about who gets to have opinions at the national broadcaster and who doesnât.
Plus, they take stock of the weekend articles that compared Pauline Hanson to various important historical figures and they dissect an A.I-related quandary involving two academics and the Sydney Morning Herald.
Jan gives a shout out to the former MAGA influencer blowing the whistle on MAGAâs media manipulation, while Antoinette praises fellow indie media outletâs persistent coverage on Lebanon.

In this special episode of Only Fran Jan chats to author Sarah Wilson about the rising sense of dis-ease she has about the world. With so much upheaval and uncertainty - how is one to navigate a world that feels like it's, well, collapsing?
In this conversion they talk about collapse - what it means, how Sarah came to the idea, the difficulty of accepting some hard truths about the world, that things will get worse before they get better, and ultimately what a new world can look like and what is needed to get there.
Sarah's new book is I Eat The Stars and you can follow her on Substack

Should we be worried about Pauline Hansonâs latest poll surge? The Etterati asked, so we separate genuine trends from poll hysteria.
We also unpack the shocking moment a radio boss groped his employee on stage at Australiaâs biggest audio awards night - we saw it happen!
Plus, a 25-year-old woman moved to Australia, started a new job, and weeks later she was dead. Her family is demanding answers, protests have been held, and questions have been raised in Kenya's parliament â so why has Australian media not covered it?
And finally, Jan recommends a powerful essay on how the press helped manufacture consent for Gazaâs genocide, while Antoinette finds an unlikely antidote to Karl Stefanovic's podcast pivot.

This week the Teals were chatting about forming a new political party designed - in part - to counter the rise of Pauline Hanson and the far right.
This got Jan Fran wondering about the other colour-specific party thatâs supposed to be doing that: the Greens.
As she watches the rise of the far right with abject terror Jan wonders why the Australian Greens haven't quite made the same inroads as their UK counterparts and what it might take for them to do so.

In this episode, Jan and Antoinette explore why flotilla activists trying to break Israelâs illegal blockade are finally getting media attention, and look at how one interview took a very bizarre turn.
We explain why the largest mining company in the world is suing the small independent outfit Michael West Media and why youâve probably not seen much about it.
Plus we give you an inside look at the Sydney Writers Festival and examine the latest Murdoch media purchase by the apparently âgoodâ Murdoch brother, James.
Antoinette gives her yes to a premium niche Aussie newspaper making a return to print, while Jan appreciates writersâ festivals showing more bravery.

In this special episode, the British journalist and author sits down with Antoinette Lattouf for a conversation about independent media, political journalism and the danger of "audience capture".
They unpack the rise of indie media in the UK, failures of the BBC, âobjectivityâ in journalism, and whether mainstream media can still hold power to account.

In this episode Jan and Antoinette respond directly to feedback from the Etterati.
We answer questions about the language used to describe certain âregimes,â balance in journalism, why we talk about Gaza and whether we laugh too much about dark subject matters. Plus: what happens when journalists weâve scrutinised reach out directly?
As a media platform built on critiquing journalism and power, we ask how should we handle criticism of our own work?
This is a candid conversation about accountability, truth and what drives us to do the work we do.

This week, Jan Fran examines the Albanese governmentâs attempt to sell its federal budget like a brand campaign â inviting influencers to pitch for access to the budget lock-up alongside journalists. Itâs also an exploration of the line between ânewsfluencersâ and journalists, and what that means for political media in Australia.

In this special episode of We Used To Be Journos, Antoinette unpacks her new book Women Who Win through the lens of media literacy, power and representation.
Yes, they get into Antoinetteâs own headline-making battle â but this episode goes far beyond one story. Drawing on interviews with 30 women, alongside the stories of trailblazing Australian women no longer with us, the conversation explores how women in public life are framed by the media during their fights, their failures, and even their victories.
From media smears to myth-making, this is a conversation about power, narrative control, and the women who kept going anyway.

In this episode, Jan and Antoinette discuss the lead up to the White House correspondentsâ dinner and the hundreds of US journalists who protested his presence there âŠalbeit in a very polite way.
They also note living in Trumpâs post-truth world as conspiracies abound about the shooting incident that took place that evening.
Plus, weâve noted four incidents of Aboriginal women and girls dying in prisons or being assaulted by cops in W.A, all in the last five weeks, not that youâd hear about it much in the east coast press.
Plus the Teleâs editor doesn't let statistics get in the way of a good story as he rails against Gen Z for being anti-war.

In this episode, Jan Fran unpacks a Nine newspapers article headlined âAuthorities suspect Gaza war drove Bondi shooter to terror,â interrogating the framing, editorial choices and implications of an investigation built largely on insinuation rather than evidence. She examines how the piece invites readers to draw conclusions about those who care about human rights in Gaza with extremism - and what that kind of speculative framing means for public discourse in Australia after the Bondi attack.

Jan Fran and Antoinette unpack claims Iran is winning the propaganda war - thanks to AI Lego and diss tracks going viral.
Meanwhile Jan goes to war with the phrase âbreaks silenceâ (Ben Roberts-Smith edition) and the clickbait line that refuses to die.
Plus, a takedown of Seven Newsâ renewable energy âexposĂ©â - and the fossil fuel interests it skips over.
Also, a shout out to some pitch-perfect satire of government statements that say everything and nothing, and a former BBC journo spelling out why normal journalism falls apart when covering Trump.
