The host · Wānaka
Hi, I'm Janey.
I've spent more than 25 years working in media, across radio, print and podcasting.
What I've always loved most is people: what makes them tick, what they know, and the stories sitting underneath the surface. I help people feel comfortable enough to open up and speak naturally, without overthinking or feeling like they have to perform.

A studio with a view
The studio is in Wānaka. The work travels.
The arc
Four chapters, one trade.
The medium changed every few years. The work, fundamentally, did not. The work has always been good questions.
01
On the air, early.
New Zealand commercial and public radio. Live news, current affairs, drive-time. The rooms where the question matters more than the answer.
02
On the page.
A long stretch in print and editorial work. Profiles, features, the slower craft of finding what someone actually means underneath what they first say.
03
On demand.
Podcast production through the boom years. Hosting, interviewing, editing, building shows people listen to twice.
04
In the studio.
ARC Media is what twenty-five years of conversations turn into when you put them at the service of one good business at a time.
In her own words
The best interviews are the ones where the person being asked forgets they are being interviewed. That's the room I try to build, every time.
