The app for independent voices

Catriona these articles are brilliant. I was editor on season 1 and have lots of similar stories.

There were a few people who it was seemingly allowed for Joe to yell at, without repercussion or it ever even being acknowledged. He’s a generational talent but it was irresponsible to put so much on his shoulders. Not to take away his own responsibility for his behaviour there.

The worst single moment for me on the show was when I was at lunch and my girlfriend called to say she had to rush to the emergency room. I called the office to tell them I was going to her and that I wouldn’t be at work for the rest of the day. The production manager Sam’s immediate response, her first words in reply? 'Ok but you'll have to make the time up later.’ Something in Bluey died for me at that moment.

On my last day I brought up that story to Sam and she said she wouldn't have said that. So it was very rewarding seeing you use the same exact phrasing in the article.

To be honest I expected one day I'd get a call of apology but it never happened.

I avoid talking about this stuff, because it makes you look whiny and you worry it can hurt your career. But where better to talk about it but here?

Thanks and solidarity :)
