Stuff launches new daily podcast Newsable

Stuff has launched Newsable, a flagship daily news podcast that’s a fast and fresh way to get up to speed on the day’s big stories. 

Chief Audio Officer Nadia Tolich says Newsable is a way for audiences to engage with the news and issues worth talking about in Aotearoa and around the globe.

“At Stuff we are reimagining what modern media is and should be. Newsable sets listeners up for a great chat around the water cooler. It includes original content alongside the best of Stuff’s journalism and analysis in a fast, informative and entertaining format,” says Tolich. 

Two exceptional talents have joined the Stuff team to co-host Newsable. 

Emile Donovan is a Dunedin-born journalist who previously hosted the daily current affairs podcast The Detail. His work has also featured in RNZ, Stuff, Newsroom, the BBC, and Business Insider, among others.

Imogen Wells loves to talk and thought what better way to make it a career than being a journalist? From humble newsroom beginnings answering phones, to working for Newshub in the Parliamentary Press Gallery, to now hosting Newsable, her passion for the job still boils down to simply loving a good yarn. 

Emile and Imogen are looking forward to reaching new dynamic audiences. 

“We won’t be watering down the news, in fact we’ll aim to be one step ahead of the news agenda,” says Donovan.

“We’re focused on the news worth talking about – the stuff you’ll chat about to your whānau and friends. And at around 15 minutes long it’s the perfect snackable size to set you up for your day,” says Wells.

Newsable is proudly sponsored by BNZ and will feature a regular spot with the bank’s Chief Economist Mike Jones. 

“Whether at the dinner table, in the office, or around the barbecue, our economy and what’s impacting it is up there with sports and the weather as a topic we love to talk about. I’m looking forward to sharing the latest insights on the economy to help keep listeners well-informed and up to date,” says Jones.

Stuff Executive Commercial Director Matt Headland says BNZ’s sponsorship of Newsable validates the ongoing investment into developing innovative products.

“We’re really thankful that BNZ has joined us on the Newsable journey as we develop and grow a brand new audience, while also helping them reach existing audiences of substantial value,” says Headland.
