These days The Spinoff is a household name as a news and entertainment website, but back in 2014 when it first launched it had a different modus operandi.
The independently-owned site was originally intended to cover New Zealand television but has since expanded its remit to cover politics, business, culture and more.
The Spinoff team has also dipped their toes into television, podcasts, videos and comics - including the wildly popular Toby Morris x Siouxsie Wiles Covid-19 collaboration.
Alex Casey was one of the original writers to work on The Spinoff, alongside founding editor Duncan Grieve.
Now Casey and her long-standing cohort Madeleine Chapman are taking the helm.
The pair will become co-editors of the site when current editor Toby Manhire steps down in a few weeks' time. Casey and Chapman join Colin Peacock to discuss their new roles and play some favourite songs.
