About Jane

Welcome!

I’m a Sydney-based journalist, performer and pilates enthusiast.

The Lost in Shanghai 2024 tour of regional Australia is now finished.

My latest book  Rebel Talk is on the art of conversation and finding your voice.

I’m the former host and creator of ABC TV’s interview program One Plus One, where I conducted 500 in-depth conversations in nine years.

Before that I was a presenter and three-time international correspondent.

You can find my writing on Substack where I publish a weekly newsletter.

Jane Hutcheon The Great Interviews

Kind words

Jane Hutcheon deserves credit as a skilful interviewer. She is able to gently prod her subject in a certain direction, while never inserting herself too obtrusively. Sydney Morning Herald January 2020

Warm, curious and relaxed, Jane Hutcheon proves an ideal facilitator. Limelight magazine, January 2020

She is as good as Michael Parkinson at his best. The Green Guide, The Age, March 2014

Hutcheon’s urbane, understated control is masterly. Sydney Morning Herald May 2014

I think the interview with you is the best I have ever done – and it’s because of your questions and sensitivity. Truly. Amy Tan, author The Joy Luck Club

There’s a gentle artistry to Hutcheon’s interview invisibility, far more evident in person than through the screen…the way her carefully unjudging eyes rarely leave your face… The Saturday Paper, February 2017
