Kristofor Lawson (

@kristoforlawson

) is the co-host of Moonshot podcast, one of Australia’s most popular technology podcasts, and Founder of Lawson Media. As a journalist, Kris holds an incredible wealth of experience across old media brands such as the ABC, SBS, News Corp and Channel 10.

But entering new media is where Kris has really hit his straps. By creating Lawson Media (a podcast production company) and the Moonshot podcast, Kris has showcased his unique storytelling skills. Moonshot was featured by Apple Podcasts and has reached #1 in the Australian Apple Podcast technology charts, was awarded an innovation grant from Australia's Walkley Foundation for Journalism, a finalist in the Melbourne Press Club Quill Awards, and won Best Independent Media at the ACS IT Journalism Awards.

Kris holds a unique insight between the divide of old and new media, one that fascinates many of us as social media becomes paramount to marketing & PR success. This was an almost selfish episode, having joined Kristofor as a guest to discuss cryptocurrency investing on behalf of CoinJar. The opportunity to learn about storytelling and media production was just too good to pass up.
