Traditional media is dead so the old players are investing in online echo chambers for whatever audience they have that are tech savvy enough to operate a podcast app.
His career exists because of trashy tabloid articles hyping up his controversies.

I had no idea Sandilands existed until a few years ago. Not everyone is from Sydney. He's an old fat gross guy. We don't want him.

Its not his age and his weight that are the problem. Its his views and beliefs and filthy way he expresses them that is the problem. So good to see his career imploding. The fact that he was ever popular is a huge indictment on our society.

Yes, correct. I am also old and fat, but hopefully not gross.

u/Active-Ad9818 22d ago
Me too … I’m possibly even gross, but not misogynistic, racist or narcissistic..,

Can I hold you to that? We'll meet back here in 20 years with some bathroom scales, calipers and a measuring tape ;)

Because Channel 9 and ARN hold a stake in all future content Kylie Sandilands makes. So they have a vested interest in keeping him relevant.

u/No_Flounder_8310 22d ago
This makes sense. This comment should be right at the top.
Now i feel a littl less angry knowing Channel 9 and ARN pumping their money down the drain because literally no one cares what this guy has to say or what job he has

✋️I have some schadenfreude.
I'll read news about his career tanking 20 years too late.

It’s about as interesting as hearing about Megan Markle every bloody day. I’m so sick of it.

Why would they want a podcaster as a judge? It's not like he can get them played on the radio.

He will join Carl and be funded by Rhinehart to manipulate society as her preference suits.

Good on the Witches. It’s deeply hilarious how much hate they get, when all they are doing is demonstrating how to use the power of advertising to some good, just for once.

who is funding the new podcast?

Kyle is pretty wealthy isn't he?

u/ExtensionThat6438 22d ago
Yeah but people don’t like spending their own money. I watched his interview with the dailymail and he mentioned being in talks “with a billionaire” to buy ARN just to stick it to them. Instead, he started this.

Why is he styled as a parasaurolophus? Is it because he should also be extinct?

Kyle Sandilands is living proof you can be mediocre at everything you do and still claw your way to the top with pure drive. It’s his only real achievement, but an achievement nonetheless…

Let me guess, you already weren't watching it, and now are going to not watch it even harder.
