Georgie Tunny: Spotlight, Sport and a Very Public Life

Georgie Tunny pulls back the curtain on how turning “geeky” niche interests into a career can become your biggest advantage. A journalist, broadcaster and podcast host, Georgie has built a unique voice by leaning into what she genuinely loves, from sport to pop culture. In this episode of Behind the Mic, Georgie shares how her passion for sport led her into journalism, and how she’s built successful podcasts around niche interests, including sport and even Taylor Swift. She also reflects on her time on The Project, what it was like being part of such a high-profile show, and the experience of navigating its cancellation. Georgie opens up about life beyond the mic as well, including being in a public relationship with Rob Mills, how they manage the spotlight together, and the balance between personal life and public profile. Honest, engaging and full of perspective, this conversation explores how embracing what makes you different can become your greatest strength and how to build a career around the things you genuinely love. Whether you’re into media, podcasting, sport or pop culture, this episode offers insight into carving out your own lane in a crowded industry.
