Countdown to The Mumbo Report: Guess whose mum… and what we asked Harold Mitchell
Mumbrella’s first foray into video content launches on Friday with The Mumbo Report from Studio 33.
You can also subscribe to Mumbrella’s Mumbo Report YouTube channel.
The above is one of our teasers (with apologies to DDB and Whirlpool) for the show.
The first episode includes Mumbrella editor Tim Burrowes asking media buyer Harold Mitchell whether he’s got the biggest ego in The Australian advertising industry.
And for those who want to see the original Whirlpool ad – here it is:
Tim Burrowes founded Mumbrella in 2008. He worked on Mumbrella until 2021. At various points he was editor, content director and editor-at-large. He returned to Mumbrella as Publisher in January 2025

I’d just like to say I’m bitterly disappointed that my Mumbrella interview wasn’t conducted by Tim’s Mum. I didn’t even meet her. Just the son.
Offended frankly……

I don’t think I could have kept up that somewhat odd semi-falsetto for the hour or so that we were chatting, Mia. I struggled with 15 seconds…
(The Mumbo Report’s interview with Mia will be appearing over a couple of future episodes later this month…)
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
good on you Tim. I can’t wait to see the show, I’m sure most people feel the same.

I love it! Love it! … Big thumbs up! I can’t wait to see the next Mumbo Report … I am hoping it’s Mamma Mia the Movie – Honey, Honey! with karaoke style lyrics so we can all sing along.

The day that I always feared has indeed arrived. That comment really was from my mother.

Mrs Burrowes, if you need a shoulder to cry on… I love me a woman with stubble.

Away and haven’t been able to view yet on my iPhone! But just goes to show how keen I am to see it! Saw the first few seconds then went out of reception! And liked the ‘slant’! Hopefully I’ll be in ‘range’ soon! Jenn freelancefactory
