Keshnee Kemp to launch rival podcast after feud with Karl Stefanovic

Journalist Annette Sharp has reported this morning that Keshnee Kemp will be launching her own podcast soon, in competition to that of her former business  partner, Karl Stefanovic.

“In correspondence sighted by this column this week, the media all-rounder pitches a podcast provocatively entitled Surviving the F*ckery,” Sharp wrote.

"In her pitch to prospective guests, Kemp broadly outlines what she sees as an opening in the podcast market.

“It’s an interview show that will exclusively feature women who’ve learned some hard lessons in business after being kicked around a bit.”

Citing the correspondence, Sharp further reported it said:

“It’s a podcast for women in business about what it really takes to make it,” she writes in one letter of introduction to one prospective partner.

“ … On creating your own value, building the right capability and standing up for what you’ve created."

Karl Stefanovic takes ownership of podcast after legal dispute

In early October, Stefanovic took of his podcast after Kemp withdrew Supreme Court proceedings alleging oppressive conduct against him.

Kemp, also known as Keshnee Ibrahim, withdrew the proceedings this week, ending the dispute over control of The Karl Stefanovic Show.

The move followed an independent valuation of the podcast business, 123 Podcast. Stefanovic and Kemp each held a 45 per cent stake, while businessman Anthony Bell owned the remaining 10 per cent.

The independent valuer, whom Kemp had appointed, reportedly found that the business could not operate without Stefanovic.
