Beyond Reality: Conversations with the People Behind Reality TV and Unscripted Entertainment
Executive Producer - Laura Cassidy | Farmer Wants A Wife, Fboy Island
In this episode, I’m chatting to executive producer Laura Cassidy. Laura has been at the helm of Farmer Wants A Wife for several years now, steering the creative vision on one of Australia’s most loved formats. She’s also worked on shows including Fboy Island, Selling Houses Australia, The Bachelor and The Circle UK. Laura’s experience covers a diverse range of genres from competition reality tv, studio, to lifestyle, but it’s relationship shows that always seem to draw her in.
