About this Event
Melbourne Advertising, Design & Creativity (MADC) presents POD: Pioneers of Distinction, a live podcast series featuring conversations with the people shaping contemporary creativity.
And for its final instalment of 2026, the series welcomes someone who more than lives up to the name: one of Australia’s biggest acting exports, Sarah Snook.
Best known as Shiv Roy in Succession, the role that earned her an Emmy and a Golden Globe, Sarah Snook has become one of Australia’s most internationally recognised actors. Her screen credits also include the time-bending thriller Predestination and the recent psychological thriller series All Her Fault. But her award-winning work doesn’t stop at the screen. In The Picture of Dorian Gray, Sarah played all 26 characters in a one-woman show, earning an Olivier Award in London before taking home a Tony Award on Broadway.
Now, Snook joins hosts Jacinta Parsons (The Friday Revue, ABC Melbourne) and Matt Lawson (MADC Co-President and Co-Founder of ATime&Place) for an unmissable live podcast recording exploring how words on a page become memorable performances.
Ever wanted to ask Sarah Snook how she does it? Now’s your chance.
