10 PR Podcasts You Should Listen to Now

It seems like PR trends are moving faster than the mitten-wearing Bernie Sanders photo that went viral earlier this year. Not only are nimble PR professionals wise to stay on top of what’s trending, they should be on the lookout for opportunities to gain insight from others in their industry. A conversation with a fellow PR pro can ignite a creative idea, solve a complicated problem or change the trajectory of your career.
That’s what is so great about podcasts.
Think about it. A podcast is like recording a mind-blowing discussion with the best of the best and using it to educate yourself and others on what’s happening, what’s working (or not working), and what to anticipate as the PR industry evolves.
As Neil Patel says, “Podcasts do a great job of distilling years of experience into a short format that’s easy to digest.”
Our own show, The PR Wine Down Podcast, takes a candid approach. Hosts April White and Laura Schooler explore the latest news and trends impacting the media landscape, and offer first-hand advice (and a few industry horror stories) for PR pros seeking to forge their own way in the industry. If you’re looking for a no-B.S. account of real life in the PR industry, from passionate practitioners who know their stuff, look no further!
