About this listen

The Voice Australia set out to rewrite the rules – blind auditions judged on talent alone. But did it really change the narrative, or just end up falling into the same patterns of shows before it?

Karise Eden, The Voice Australia’s inaugural winner, unpacks the very real impact the narrative producers chose for her had on her relationships, the harsh aftermath of victory, and what success really looks like in today’s music industry.

Plus, what does a new generation of contestants, like Matthew Hearne who competed on the most recent season, want from these shows in a world where social media, or a personal platform can trump a record deal?

The Moment it Changed: Touchdown is Hosted by Nic Kelly. Available on all platforms now.
