Barrie Cassidy and Jon Faine on politics, media and not retiring

Barrie Cassidy built Insiders from a thought bubble to a Sunday morning institution for political junkies, while Jon Faine's Mornings radio program has driven the news agenda in Melbourne since the 1990s.
But 2019 is a year of change for the ABC broadcast veterans - Cassidy stepped down from Insiders in June, while Faine will present his last program in October.
The pair sat down for a special in-conversation evening earlier this month, where they discussed the highs and lows of their careers, hilarious stories from backstage, and the political landscape.
With special guest Sammy J, they share stories of politics, media ... and not retiring.
This program was recorded with a studio audience on Thursday 8th August 2019.
