‘They both can learn a lot from each other’: Marc Fennell tells us the differences between working at ABC and SBS

To the average observer, Marc Fennell will look like the busiest man in Australian media over the next few months.

That’s in part because he has just launched This Is Not A Game, a new Audible Originals podcast series that slowly unspools the tale of the internet’s first ever conspiracy theory, the legend of Ong’s Hat.
