The Dr Jo Show

What really happened behind the viral interview with ABC journalist Lucy Barber? In this episode, Dr Joanna Howe and James reveal the full inside story—from the ABC’s initial email and allegations involving campaign spending and MP Nat Cook, to the decision that completely turned the tables: recording the journalist herself. They break down the questions they were sent, compare them with the ABC’s eventual TV, radio and online coverage, and explain why they believe the investigation was a politically motivated hit piece. Now, with their response reaching huge audiences online, did the ABC’s attempt to discredit them spectacularly backfire?
