The actor, radio host and founder of talent management agency Frank joins Duncan Greive to discuss a landmark deal to bring podcasts to TVNZ+.

He’s very familiar as the star of Wellington Paranormal, and a radio host with Hauraki – but Mike Minogue’s greatest achievement might be Frank, his burgeoning agency. Frustrated with the quality of talent representation in Aotearoa, Minogue started Frank to bring a different approach to the established players. But he added speaker representation and, crucially, podcast representation to Frank’s mix – and in so doing set it up for a landmark deal.

Today, The Fold can reveal that Frank is the exclusive supplier of podcasts to TVNZ+. It’s a milestone for the form in New Zealand, and one which brings TVNZ into line with Netflix and YouTube, each of which is making a big play to make podcasts a big part of their strategy. Minogue joins Duncan Greive on The Fold to explain his motives for starting Frank, and why he is betting big on podcasts.
