Jacky Winter Gives You The Business – Details, episodes & analysis

While Lara is deep into producing our tenth season which will be a dive into the business of illustration, we’re going back to our beloved Open Tabs format for our ninth season.

Loosely based on our popular event series with the same name, for the rest of our ninth season, Lara and myself will be coming together each week and going through some of our own open browser tabs, providing an insight into the creative industry from our unique points of view, as well as the google search results that offer an uncomfortably intimate portrait of our inner lives. Or at least mine.

Using the internet as our lens, we hope to explore a variety of current events, opinions, and tools to provide thought-provoking conversation for anyone whose job it is to bring creative things to life, but mostly it’s a chance for us to talk a lot of jazz.

Remember! We are now an ENHANCED podcast. That's right - If you listen to our podcast in Overcast or Pocket Casts, or Castro, you can get super special images, links, and chapter breaks in your player while you listen.

This week, it’s all about Producing Architecture, and I’m delighted to say that we’re joined by the excellent Imogen Pullar.

Imogen is an architect based right here in Melbourne. For the better part of a decade, she worked at Nest Architects, which is where we met her while she was working on our, at the time, new Jacky Winter offices! There she was running large-scale projects for government and educational institutions, as well as homes for private clients. Around three years ago, she became a mother and, needing more flexibility in her life, she started her own solo practice. With a particular interest in housing and projects that nurture community and the environment, working on her own practice allows Imogen to focus on the things that are truly important to her, such as having an inclusive design process that broadens the accessibility of architects for all sorts of people; having an ethical approach to her designs, suppliers and materials, to work towards a healthy future for the inhabitants and the world around us; and educating clients on the benefits of designing homes that fulfil those values.

We go where (legal) eagles dare with Yasmin Naghavi from Media Arts Lawyers to discuss references in creative development and find out who owns what?

*On this weeks podcast, our crack team of producers discuss myths and misconceptions of an agent’s role in the creative process. How does an agent contribute to the overall success of a project? And are we worth it? These are questions clients inevitably find themselves asking. Today we explore the common misconceptions about the work agents contribute to a project. Rounding this off, we've spoken about what makes a good producer, but what makes a good client?
