À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
James Mathison is a television presenter who rose to fame as the host of Australian Idol.
James’ very first television appearance was on Channel 10’s, The $20 Challenge but his career really started when he won a VJ search for Channel V on Foxtel.
After working at Channel V with Osher Gunsberg the pair were offered a gig hosting a brand new show called Australian Idol. Little did he know it would end up being one of the biggest shows on Australian television.
In this episode, James Mathison talks about the perils of fame, what it was like hosting a juggernaut like Australian Idol, why early success can give you a warped sense of reality and what it's like to go from media to politics.
