Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Oh yay!! @emilynussbaum.bsky.social, you’ve made us both very happy and your review was exactly as we hoped it would be - bang on. Liv has seen the show 3 times, different cities, and said without fail each time he quickly manages to win over the audience & take them on his gorgeous silly journey! 010
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Most of that message was so lovely to hear, except for the last bit about the boys being in college which made me want to dig my own grave and go lie in it cos I am clearly a thousand years old now and the end is nigh. (They were such smart, fun, polite little guys - glad they’re doing so well!) 010
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Can’t wait to hear what you think! You’ll completely forget he is nude after the first 5 mins haha Life’s good! I was in a career rough patch in 2018 - you & Clive were so kind & encouraging & gave me a pep talk over a cup of tea - thank you! 🥹 Now I have my dream job as an ABC radio presenter 🤙🏼 110
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 30/07/2026And my wife knows and loves your work and reviews & just messaged me asking, “HAVE YOU TOLD NUSSBAUM ABOUT GARRY STARR YET?” as though my tenuous babysitting connection means you’re open to my unsolicited reccos… so here it is. If you get a chance to check it out, do. Reckon you’d adore it. 020
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Garry Starr’s Classic Penguins show is so funny, so heartening, and so joyous and clever. It’s on in September at Studio Seaview, and I have nothing to do with it - no connection whatsoever I swear - it’s just a show we saw earlier this year that was just this unexpected delight 120
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 30/07/2026@emilynussbaum.bsky.social hello! My name’s Jess, about 8 years ago I babysat your kids in Melb while you were in town for the writers festival (they were delightful!). Anyway now that I’ve HOPEFULLY established I’m not crazed & you’ve relied on me before (😂) just wanted to recommend a show in NYC? 220
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 11/07/2026“A rollicking read” is how I would describe this 162
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Sorry but as a passionate Haaland fan of <checks watch> a couple of weeks, I simply could not let this slip through to the keeper… so to speak 060
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 11/07/2026SMH smart to make the link preview the footballing superstar who has <cough> “faced serious allegations off the field during his career” <legal team nods approvingly> but the SMH front page knows what will ragebait the girlies into clicking through!! 120
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 11/07/2026This anti Haaland missive might be Peter Fitzsimons worst take. Oh you’ve been watching the World Cup and your view is that Erling Haaland is your standard arrogant soccer player? YIKES MY DUDE www.smh.com.au/sport/in-a-w...smh.com.auIn a World Cup of poseurs, this trio would fill the podiumAre elite soccer players, as a breed, up themselves? The evidence of the last week in the USA would suggest so. 140
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Anyway back to British crime dramas post bath but I wish both teams a fun time and may many precious memories be made!!!!! 020
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 08/07/2026No hatred for the journos doing their best filling them with content mind you! I just HATE especially when I click on a headline on a news site’s homepage & then it transfers me to a live blog AND not even to the bit where they talked about what was in the headline, just PLONK me down anywhere 😠 120
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Not to be a dick about it but it is BAFFLING to me that a news org would bother with a live blog of a sporting match & not have the current score RIGHT AT THE VERY TOP My hatred for news site live blogs - be they on footy games or awards ceremonies or a day in parliament - remains as strong as ever 270
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Hearing the unholy screams from my neighbours house as I relax quietly in a hot bath tells me the Blues have scored again? 280
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Bonds needs to front senate estimates & account for their lack of political balance! It’s time we demanded fair representation across the political spectrum when it comes to underwear models. Wangs should be positioned in the direction of their allegiances (they can use Vote Compass for accuracy) 040
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Please note I hate FB and pride myself for not really using it so that too is indicative 030
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 27/06/2026I can tell my wife is away & I’m bored cos a) I’ve made an impassioned post against littering on the local community fb page and it’s going OFF, and b) on a different FB page someone asked for a bird ID and I correctly said red rumped parrot aloud to myself & fist pumped when I was correct 1110
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 26/06/2026- Nats leader Matt Canavan for the first time since he got the top job! Been a spicy text line re Nationals these days lemme tell ya, lots to discuss - why are so many Aussie media identities leaning into podcasts? AND What are the rules around disclosing lobby $/guests paying to be there? 140
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 26/06/2026HEY HEY big show on ABC NSW Drive this afternoon and did you know you can listen from wherever you damn well like with the ABC Listen App? Listen live on any regional NSW station (like THIS www.abc.net.au/listen/live/...) We are on 3-5pm today and guess what is on the schedule?abc.net.auABC Mid North Coast Live Audio - ABC listenListen live, whenever you want, wherever you are with ABC Mid North Coast. 141
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I know Joe Bogan is a lock in but I’ve also enjoyed seeing Temu Tucker floating around if we need a back up 1111
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Full disclosure: I was also skeptical of the Kyle and Jackie O fight but turns out Kyle HAD had a gutful of astrology references and Jackie O WAS over his Gemini bullshit. 081
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 24/06/2026He’s doing his best Matt Bevan! Timing hasn’t worked out yet for a trip out to visit a Nazi calisthenics club aka spending time with wholesome Aussie lads who embrace mateship & fitness, but he’ll get there. (I reckon he’ll be counting on the types who surge to him after this being Patreon types) 000
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Nine cutting itself free of a big expense while Karl gets the ideal marketing push for his new career? Couldn't have worked out better for everyone. A skeptic might think that 💅 5151
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 24/06/2026And did he very deliberately pick someone like Tommy Robinson to interview therefore giving Nine the perfect excuse to let him go, and Karl the perfect extra grift to push with his new found devotees - "T've been CANCELLED by the WOKES please SUBSCRIBE" 1120
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Gosh a skeptic might think, wow did Karl create this podcast knowing that his time and paychecks at Nine were coming to an end because commercial media doesn't have the budget it once did? www.smh.com.au/culture/tv-a...smh.com.auToday show host Karl Stefanovic to leave Nine after Tommy Robinson podcast falloutThe decision clears the way for a major shake-up of breakfast television, but also risks attracting the ire of the presenter’s new army of conservative backers. 43710
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Well they’re non existent Daniel, I haven’t managed to get one on air. But I’d be looking for people with medical expertise obviously. 110
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Disappointed that very little (ie zero) biography of 26 year old was provided in this piece. 020
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 15/06/2026As someone who makes daily radio, I’ve found that the two worst professions to try and get interviews from are: - travel writers: always away or if they’re back, still awful to try & nail down. I respect that they don’t care about media, and why would they? They live the dream! - peptides experts 140
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Wow I guess I’d better go grab some things from House before their clearance sale finally winds up 150
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Ahh yes, the left, famous for its lack of infighting - never ever known to criticise itself into submission because it would rather let perfect be the enemy of good www.smh.com.au/world/north-... 030
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I mean I say this playfully and look, a rapidly changing media landscape means that people are scrambling to ensure a seat for when the music stops etc, but it just always makes me laugh when I think that the inference is their day job is creating useless pointless shit with no meaning. 050
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 04/06/2026My podcast announcement coming soon by the way. A 4 hour episode each week where I look back at the GOOD TIMES of my AUSSIE CHILDHOOD <Secret Valley theme plays softly> & celebrate the SACRED TRADITIONS that GAVE US THAT LIFESTYLE (resource mining & the billionaires behind it, true larrikan heroes) 020
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 04/06/2026It’s either indicative of the limits of commercial broadcasting these days (surface level filler made by talking to dull ding dongs for your bread & butter) or everyone’s glancing yearnfully at the money being made by American podcasters/grifters & going, yeah I’ll have some of that ploise. Or both! 120
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 04/06/2026It’s so funny to me when commercial broadcasters on tv or radio make announcements they’re launching a side hustle podcasts cos they’re passionately craving having deep, curiosity driven conversations with interesting people & it’s like… have you considered bringing this energy to your actual job? 4104
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Oh mate, I can only imagine. Sad it wasn’t televised but the magic of James once again lit up the radio & the love was palpable. I also got teary at the cheer that went up with the crowd just hearing Jen Fleming’s name - a producer held in such high esteem not just with coworkers but the public too! 1101
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 29/05/2026An extraordinary memorial to James Valentine today, but I think I’ve been fully undone by Roy Valentine’s hilarity, tenderness, and perfect expression of what it’s like to lose a parent - to cancer, especially. Weeping. 3378
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I don’t reckon I trust a single legacy media entertainment reviewer these days 😂 in fact there are some I only trust to be wrong about things. “Oh, five stars from X? Steaming pile of crap then. Two stars? We should give it a go!” 140
Reposted by Jess McGuireOlivia Ralph @oliviaralph.bsky.social · 24/04/2026My very talented better half wrote a tribute to James Valentine. He set the bar for what public broadcasting could be. A place for fun, for silliness, for joy, for ‘nothing’ as one of his many beloved segments proved. @jessmcguire.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...theguardian.comJames Valentine showed us what public broadcasting could be at its very best. It’s a legacy I hope to live up to | Jess McGuireThe public grief is enormous but it keeps giving way to joy, to moments of hilarity that have stayed with listeners for years 041
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 22/04/2026So deeply sad about this. James Valentine was just such a top class broadcaster, but more importantly, a wonderful human. ❤️ 092
Jess McGuire @jessmcguire.bsky.social · 05/04/2026FINAL SHOW TONIGHT! 7pm! Speakeasy Theatre on Flinders St, tickets on the door and then this particular circus is packing up and leaving town - so if you’re at a loss for how to spend Easter Sunday, join me for an hour of storytelling and laughs and it will be VERY NICE INDEED. 020
