This week, the Spin Cycle team is joined by Tom Ravlic, a journalist and author to discuss his new book Crown: Playing in the Shadows. Ravlic delves into how Crown was able to get away with "illegal, dishonest, unethical and exploitative" conduct for so many years, and the role whistleblowers and the media play in bringing these kinds of scandals to light. Plus our favourite confected media outrage of the week (it involves sending grizzled army vets into high schools to stop kids vaping) and Charlie gets a shout out in Jess's favourite podcast.
With presenters Jess Lilley and Charlie Lewis.

We live in a media saturated world. The news cycle travels at lightning speed and is impossible to ignore. Spin Cycle aims to make sense of the 24/7 updates and hot takes we are bombarded with from media outlets, politicians and pundits all trying to own the narrative.
