In Detail

By Kate FitzGerald + Warwick Mihaly + Mick Moloney

In Detail is a new podcast that takes you behind the scenes of creative business. Hosted by three architects, Mick Moloney, Kate Fitzgerald and Warwick Mihaly, we’re going to tackle the awkward questions, open up on our own experiences, and bring you the business insights that we wish we had when we were starting out. We want to hear from you too. If you’ve got a pressing question that you’ve always wanted to ask, then get in touch. We need your help to lift the cone of silence around these topics and reveal what it’s really like to run a creative business. Music - Sean Gorman & Salary

S03E09 - Komrade Kate vs Captain Order

This episode took us all by surprise. We assumed we all produced our work in more or less the same way, following similar workflow paths to the rest of the creative industry, but it turns out we were wrong. Come along for another ride as we chat about authorship, career development, productivity, scale and Kelpies.

S03E08 - The Employment Episode - Part 2

In this, the long-awaited second part of the Employment Episode, we dive deep on interview strategy. We talk employment contracts, payroll, benefits and employment law, all while reminding our dear listeners that we are not, in fact, lawyers. And to round things out, we dip our toes gently into the calming waters of workplace culture.

S03E07 - The Employment Episode - Part 1

Are you thinking about hiring your first employee? When's the right time to go about doing so, and how exactly is the best way to get the best people? Well, as it turns out, we've all had different experiences in this endeavour. Including, it should be noted, one of us who has become an expert in the ancient art of the accident hire. Which wacko would that be? Have a listen to part 1 of the Employment Episode to find out.

S03E06 - The Timesheets Knifefight Episode

There has been a looming threat of an episode on timesheets casting a shadow over the In Detail recording studios for three seasons now, and the day has finally dawned. In an epic battle of Warwick "Data" Mihaly vs. Mick "Do-Whatever" Moloney, the knives are out, the debate is roaring and Kate is... Medium.

Agony Architect - 01

Hungry for some In Detail goodness but don’t feel up for our usual hour of chit chat? Well, today we’re serving up the perfect bite sized snack just for you.

Agony Architect is a bonus series of shorts where we answer your burning questions about creative business. To kick it off with a gesture at symmetry, we have a question from Mike (it really isn’t Mick, we swear!), who wants to know about fees, specifically how to get more of them when you’re first starting out in business.

Got a question for a future Agony Architect? Email us at indetailshow@gmail.com or tweet us (while you still can) at @indetailshow.

Thanks to Adelaide at Mihaly Slocombe, for suggesting we launch Agony Architect in the first place.

S03E05 - Knight Bacon - Part 2

In this, the second half of our Knight Bacon reflections, we get a bit wild. There are Mexican data cartels, gotcha photoshoots, black swan events, blame games and ninja negotiations. And if we may say so ourselves, the audio quality is just delightful.

S03E04 - Knight Bacon - Part 1

In the first of a two-part series (we love a multi-parter), we're exploring some of the white knights who've come along over the years and saved our bacon. They're our Knight Bacons. Is this our most terribly-named episode yet? You be the judge.

S03E03 - Marketing 103

In our third and final episode on marketing, Marketing 103, we speak to the wonderful Amy Edwards of Brisbane-based marketing consultancy Markedly. She corrects us on all that we got wrong in our first two marketing episodes and we discover that we got one or two things right, too.

Thank you, dear listeners, for your patience regarding Kate’s terrible audio in this episode. You’d think we’d have it worked out by now.

As a small studio grows into a not-so-small studio, when is the right time to add administrative support to the team?
