Podcast: TMN Talks ARIA & Natalie Waller’s new gig

This week on TMN Talks, editor Vivienne Kelly and publisher Jake Challenor discuss the appointment of Natalie Waller as chair of the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).

They dive into what the move means for the broader music industry, as ARIA takes another step forward after its constitution was amended in 2018 to allow for additional directors to improve inclusiveness and diversity.

Plus, what will the organisation look like with no Denis Handlin, and an independent record label leader at the helm?

TMN Talks is a new unfiltered podcast which dives into the personalities, politics and pressures of Australia’s music industry.

The TMN Talks podcast will come to you each Thursday, dissecting the biggest news of the week and delving into the issues facing the sector.
