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\u2019s mix \u2013 and in so doing set it up for a landmark deal.<\/p>\n<p>Today, The Fold can reveal that Frank is the exclusive supplier of podcasts to TVNZ+. It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/thespinoff.co.nz\/podcast-series\/the-fold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Fold<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-fold\/id1490770845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/6xsGY6MqNfhwzMc2uvTUpz?si=aouA3nbeTSSnkBtUE1IGIQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Spotify<\/a> or wherever you listen to podcasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The actor, radio host and founder of talent management agency Frank joins Duncan Greive to discuss a landmark&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378373,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,1073,111,139,69,46455],"class_list":{"0":"post-378372","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-media","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-newzealand","12":"tag-nz","13":"tag-the-fold"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378372\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
