A Current Affair goes behind the scenes with new podcast

A Current Affair has launched a new weekly podcast called That’s ACA, taking listeners and viewers behind the scenes of the show’s most talked-about stories.

Hosted by seasoned reporters Steve Marshall and Lizzie Pearl, That’s ACA offers a candid look into the world of television reporting.

Each week, the hosts dissect the biggest stories, share their personal experiences on the road and talk to the program’s stable of reporters about the weird and wonderful assignments that capture the nation’s attention.

“There’s a saying in the ACA office ‘That’s so ACA’,” Marshall explains.

“It’s those stories that are quintessentially Australian, that make you laugh, make you cry, that fire you up, or just make you shake your head and say ‘Only in Australia’. This podcast is a celebration of those moments and a chance for our viewers to be part of the conversation.”

Pearl adds “Our viewers are so invested in these stories and we’re constantly asked what happens when the cameras are off. This podcast is our chance to finally pull back the curtain, share the hilarious or heartfelt moments that don’t make it to air and really celebrate the craft of storytelling with our audience and our colleagues.”

The podcast provides a new way for audiences to connect with the brand and its journalists.

“A Current Affair has been a staple in Australian living rooms for decades,” said Executive Producer Amy McCarthy.

“That’s ACA is a natural evolution for the brand, allowing us to connect with our audience on a deeper level and on new platforms. It’s an exciting opportunity to showcase the incredible work and unique personalities of our reporting team, strengthening the bond we have with our viewers beyond the nightly broadcast.”

New episodes of That’s ACA are released every Friday morning and are available across all major podcast platforms including Spotify and in video format on YouTube.
