Storytelling, creativity, and the systems behind great screen content take centre stage as JP sits down with Julie Eckersley, former Head of Scripted at SBS and now Executive Director, Screen Content at Screen Queensland. Julie is a genuine thought leader in storytelling, and this episode explores the craft, structure, and deep human psychology behind the stories that shape our world.
Winning The Room with Jonathan Pease is a podcast about the art of human connection in the modern world. As we move into a future defined by AI, automation, and increasing social separation, our ability to connect through communication and storytelling becomes more essential than ever. Have we forgotten how to do it?
I’m Jonathan Pease. Some people call me a public speaking expert—though I’m not convinced anyone actually is. What I do know is how to help people elevate their communication so they can connect more meaningfully. This podcast is my passion project: conversations with leaders, creatives, writers, thinkers, and experts exploring what truly makes us connect.
In this episode with Julie Eckersley, we explore:
• How storytelling systems shape what we watch and how we feel
• Why humans are wired to respond to stories
• What makes a narrative powerful, memorable, and emotionally resonant
• How screen content influences culture and connection
• Why creativity and structure must work together
• How humour, music, timing, and rhythm shape communication
• Why deals, jokes, and creative decisions work some days and not others
• What storytelling reveals about human behaviour across every culture
Throughout history, one thing has remained constant: people told stories. Stories teach, persuade, unite, and move us. This episode uncovers why storytelling matters—and how understanding it can help you communicate better in every part of your life.
If you care about storytelling, creativity, screenwriting, communication, screen content, public speaking, leadership, or human connection, you’ll get a lot out of this conversation with Julie.
