Today, we’re going to explore all things Substack. We’ll trace how it’s disrupted the media industry by putting power back in the hands of creators, and how it’s crafted a space for people to say what they actually think. And we’ll explore what Substack’s rise in Australia means for the media industry, and what the next evolution of the platform will look like, as brands start to get in on the action.
