Episode notes

Luke Tunnecliffe is the Chief Content & Development Office at Jam TV and has co-created, produced and been a part of some incredible sport documentaries including 'Making Their Mark', 'The Recruit', 'Fearless' and 'Show me the Money'. He also spent eight years at Channel 9 producing live sport and has produced the beloved 'Rub' on Triple M for 21 years.

This episode is full of insight into a life in television, radio and overall sport broadcasting.

Luke's story is incredible. From walking into the Collingwood Football Club's Coaching box at just 17 years old, he was poached by Channel 9, Triple M and Jam TV...all without a university degree!

Throughout his career, he has produced some Australia's biggest sporting moments both on TV and radio and has led the way in creating behind the scenes sports documentaries that have been rarely created in this country.

We laugh at some of Triple M's funniest moments (including the famous Danny Frawley makeup scandal) as Luke gives us a behind the scenes glimpse of how the magic is brought to the airwaves.

He shares how these massive documentary productions are conceived, pitched and ultimately brought to our screens...you won't believe what is involved in some of them.

He shares his memories of "The Recruit" as well as "Making Their Mark" and the hurdles they had to overcome right in the thick of Covid.

But overall, this episode is a testament to why hard work pretty much trumps all else and why that without world class producers, we don't get world class product!

So get ready to peel back the curtain with the great, Luke Tunnecliffe!
