Now a familiar face in living rooms across the country, Georgie Tunny has spent more than a decade climbing the ranks in newsrooms reporting on devastating stories such as the 2019 bushfire emergency and the Covid pandemic. Now, in her gripping debut Over to You she rips back the glossy curtain on television news, taking the ambitious competitiveness of The Devil Wears Prada, mixing it with the complex female friendships of Big Little Lies and throwing in the high-stakes drama of The Morning Show. 

Join Georgie in conversation with fellow journalist, and Two Good Sports podcast co-pilot, Abbey Gelmi as they lift the lid on the juicy stories and intriguing personalities behind this highly compelling new novel. 

Georgie Tunny started her journalism career with the ABC, as part of the News Breakfast presenting team for four years. She took on roles as sport presenter, weather presenter and as co-host during the 2020 bushfire emergency coverage and throughout the Covid pandemic. In 2022 Georgie joined Network 10 as a journalist and presenter for The Project and now anchors the weekend news bulletin. In addition, she hosts a weekly sport podcast with Abbey Gelmi, Two Good Sports, and a Taylor Swift-inspired podcast, Ready For It. Georgie and her partner, Rob Mills, were runners-up in The Amazing Race Australia Celebrity Edition.
