As part of the Acast Creator Network, Shine It Up, With Jackie Gillies will also be monetised through ads, sponsorship and branded content, which will see Jackie lending her voice and signature shine to brand messages, delivered directly to her listeners.
Guests of Shine It Up, With Jackie Gillies, will include JackieO, Julia Morris and Hannah Ferrier, while fans of The Real Housewives of Melbourne will have a lot to love about the podcast, with Gillies set to offer up her thoughts as the current season progresses, including interviews with past and present housewives Gina Liano and Janet Roach.
In the first two episodes, listeners will get a life update from Gillies including a deep dive into her IVF journey with husband Ben Gillies and, throughout the first season, she’ll continue to provide updates on the arrival of her twins, due mid-October.
