This year the inimitable Writers Festival veteran and theatre producer Jo Dyer co-founded Sunday Shot, an indie Sunday morning politics discussion show.

Sunday Shot mobilises new media strategies to meet audience demand for a different political discussion. With a sparkling lineup of journalistic favourites like Amy Remeikis, Michael West, Greg Jericho and Rachel Withers, the show has garnered a dedicated following in the leadup to the 2025 federal election.

Jo is a writer, literary curator, producer of theatre and film, former Director of Adelaide Writers’ Week and former CEO of Sydney Writers’ Festival. As a re-elected Labor government takes its now thumping majority to Canberra, Jo was wrapping up her final season as producer of the venerable Sydney institution Wharf Revue. 

Join us for a special evening of behind the scenes insights on all things political, satirical and material as Jo shares her journeys through comedy, candidature and commentary in the Albanese era.
