This is the Fucking News.
Paddy Gower Has Issues is a groundbreaking current affairs show where journalist Paddy Gower, joined by the much-loved Karen O’Leary, tackles New Zealand’s biggest issues with humour and insight. Filmed before a live audience and featuring guest journalists, the show breaks the mould with a unique mix of investigative reporting and comedy. It’s been a hit with audiences, critics, and award shows alike, bringing fresh perspectives to the stories that matter most. We crafted the brand, show marketing, and studio design with a late-night New York vibe, featuring vibrant neon lights, digital screens, and edgy brickwork. The atmosphere is complemented by a gritty digital rock-electronica soundtrack, creating a bold, modern feel.
