Imogen Banks - SAFE HOME - Executive Producer

This chat I am joined by the Executive Producer of 'Safe Home' on 'SBS' 'Imogen Banks.'

Imogen is a TV content creator who I have dreamt of having on the podcast for many years. I loved her work on 'Puberty Blues,' devoured 'Offspring' with 'Asher Keddie' and have rewatched 'Tangle' countless times. 

However, today I am here to discuss her collaboration with Anna Barnes on the project for 'SBS' called 'Safe Home.' 

'Safe Home' is the Australian drama miniseries set to air on 'SBS' this Thursday at 7:30. It follows the story of a twenty-something professional, who leaves her job at a prominent law firm to work at a struggling family violence legal centre.

The show tackles family violence, power equality and features some of the best performances I have ever seen on television.

• I will ask 'Imogen' about the success of 'Offspring,' 'Puberty Blues' and 'Tangle' and why in Australia we rarely see multiple series runs of our home grown content. 
• We will find out how this show came about and how they managed to tackle the domestic violence subject matter. 
• We will also discuss if having a bankable star is necessary when getting shows funned in Australia and why this cast were able to knock this out of the park.

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of 'Safe Home’ which I can tell you is my favourite season of television this year.
