In this episode host Teresa Norton speaks with Adrian Brown, a seasoned news correspondent, about the evolution of media, the Nick Leeson case, and the challenges of self-censorship in today's world as they discuss a column Teresa wrote 30 years ago when she and Adrian were both living in Hong Kong.
Teresa's looks at her previous held conviction that allowing people a "Hyde Park" opportunity to publicly vent their spleen might be the best way to avoid random violence. This leads to a dialogue about the changing landscape of freedom of speech, the impact of algorithms on news consumption and an examination of news media's responsibility to their audience.
Adrian champions a wonderful cause that is changing lives in New Zealand during the break and in the second half of this week's podcast offers an open reflection on Adrian's early career in television, the toll public scrutiny took on the young reporter and revelations about the benefits of growing older and less concerned about "failure".
