Paul Marvucic is a Haver of Great Hair, a big Google Maps guy (“ever since I was a kid in New Jersey trying to reassure myself there was something out there that wasn’t New Jersey”), and the director of product marketing at crowdfunding platform, Patreon. After stints in London and San Francisco working for TikTok and YouTube respectively, he’s here filling out the form for our fifth iteration of COMMPRESS: MediaDiet.

Tara Bennett is the founder, brains and brawn behind Sydney’s design-hub-slash-Japanese-homewares-importer, Provider Store as well as Hobart’s Provider House and, just recently, Maido coffee pop-up in Surry Hills.

Today we find her hopped up on her own coffee and avoiding admin, candle-making, social media and doomscrolling at all costs.

Matty Sayer is a former Australian Government (CSIRO) turned tech startup Director of Marketing who’s taking a sabbatical from Silicon Valley to traverse all 50 states of the USA.

Today we find him going from state-to-state moderating Facebook groups in the morning, to listening to an unholy amount of self-help podcasts across the day.

Unsurprisingly, SKMG’s own Neil Shoebridge has written far too many words for our second iteration of COMMPRESS: MediaDiet. The media consumption confessional continues – in somewhat longer form – this week because we wouldn’t dare edit his words too deeply.

Welcome to the latest iteration of COMMPRESS: MediaDiet.

First up is Scott Dooley: comedian, writer, and radio presenter who you’ll likely recognise from his long tenure at Triple J. These days he lives in Brooklyn with his wife, contributing to The New Yorker with cartoonist Jason Chatfield, with whom he co-hosts the podcast, Is There Something In This?
