The end of an era with The Project over
Alan Duffy
Hard to believe the iconic The Project is nearly over… it’s even harder to believe that’s ten years(!) since I failed to convince Freddie Flintoff about a new planet in our solar system (seriously I loved some of the guest hosts!), or getting to share cutting edge science on the desk in front of a live studio audience (I’m amazed my heartbeat wasn’t picked up by the mic), or the honour of a regular segment in over 50 appearances showcasing great science stories shared to Australia in the fun yet informative way only The Project managed to do so well for so many years.
My thanks to the entire crew who made MAGIC happen each and every day (seriously until you’ve tried it, this level of production values, researched stories, interesting guests, all done with flair and intriguing hooks, is genuinely astonishing).
The legacy of The Project will live on through the countless stories it told, campaigns it championed, and the hundreds of creative staff it nurtured… it was an honour to have been even a vanishingly small part of that journey. 🙏
