Podcasts about comms

NGO ads don't have to be a balance between dignity and donations. A look at the ethics and power dynamics of crisis communications, and how humanitarian agencies can do better for the communities they serve, with Levis Nderitu, a Kenyan DEI specialist, and Marie-Rose Romain Murphy, a Haitian-American community development expert.  "At the core of your communication should be people, should be dignity, should be: how would I want to be portrayed myself?" Decolonise How? is a new podcast by The New Humanitarian that examines the stories we tell about humanitarian crises.  

In this episode Stef from Comms gets the lowdown on this year's Cannes Film Festival from Cinema Steph and Cinema Curator Mark Cosgrove.

Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.Welcome back to another episode of Venture Unlocked, the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the business of venture capital.In this episode, I'm joined by three deep tech investors and friends of the show, Nate Williams, Sunil Nagaraj, and Guy Perelmuter, for a roundtable on the state of deep tech and the changing venture landscape. We dig into what deep tech really means today, why it's suddenly attracting so much capital, and how economics, government tailwinds, and AI as a “killer app” have pulled these once niche technologies into the mainstream. We also explore the growing concentration of capital in a handful of hyperscale winners, the tension between consensus vs. non-consensus investing, and what all of this means for emerging managers, LPs, and founders operating at the zero-to-one stage.Thanks for listening to another episode of Venture Unlocked.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid finally get to take a victory lap. The leaked Trump and Netanyahu phone call dropped this week, the one where Trump reportedly told Bibi he would be in jail if it weren't for him, and even Mark Levin confirmed the leak was real. Josh argues the White House leaked it themselves as a strategic move, and the entire save Israel for last thesis Alpha and Josh have been pushing for over a year just got vindicated in public. From there the guys unpack Chevron's grip on Israeli oil infrastructure, why Trump fired Rick Grenell for trying to renegotiate the Chevron deal in Venezuela, the Israel to Gaza pipeline play, the six hundred billion dollar defense pacts that make Gaza essentially untouchable, and why Megyn Kelly went on Sean Ryan in full doom mode this week. The deep state operatives got caught flat footed and the unified messaging took hours to spin up. Plus Bill Pulte rug pulling Tom Cotton for DNI and the genius double hat strategy that gives Pulte mortgage fraud and intelligence community access simultaneously, the Iranian decentralized ELF command structure, the Q plus comms cascade with double posted patriots are in control memes, and Scavino's every journey has an end tied to Ender's Game.

That Solo Life Episode 341: The Leap, the AI Edge and Authentic Leadership Episode Summary Kara Ryan spent 20 years of her career navigating corporate communications in some of the most regulated industries in the world - financial services, healthcare, and medical devices. In April of this year, she closed that chapter and opened Klyr Strategies, a solo communications advisory built upon the high-stakes moments that her clients face, such as product launches, leadership transitions, acquisitions, and IPO preparation. She joins Karen and Michelle just weeks into her solo journey, which makes this conversation something rare, equal parts seasoned practitioner wisdom and unfiltered, real-time solopreneur start-up experience. The conversation covers the financial math and mindset behind making the leap, the structural surprises that hit early, and how Kara's "advisor-led and AI-powered" approach works in practice — including why she's upfront with clients about using AI and how she keeps their data secure. She also shares her strongest professional conviction: that authenticity in leadership communication is a strategic discipline, not a personality trait, and that communicators are uniquely positioned to address it. This is a conversation for anyone who has done all the right things in corporate and still feels like something is missing.   Episode Highlights [02:29] The Slow Burn Decision to Go Solo: Kara always pictured working for herself — but it took 20 years, a turning-40 moment of reflection, and the realization that the job market wasn't going to rescue her to finally make the leap. She filed her LLC paperwork two years before she actually left, which says everything about how long the mental preparation can take. Her framing of "perceived security" resonated deeply with Karen and Michelle: the steady paycheck and benefits that feel like stability are increasingly anything but. [06:17] Why a Tough Job Market Is an Argument for Going Solo: Kara makes a counter-intuitive case: watching talented, experienced mid-to-senior communications professionals spend six, nine, or twelve months searching for their next role wasn't a reason to wait — it was a reason to move. She chose to create her own security rather than compete for a shrinking pool of roles. The calculus is different when you're in charge, but at least you're the one doing it. [09:11] The Real Surprises of Early Solo Life: Weeks in, the biggest surprise for Kara has been structure — in two senses. The rhythmic structure of corporate life (a desk, a schedule, a team) simply disappears, replaced by something more fluid and self-directed. And then there's business structure in the legal and financial sense: entity type, tax implications, and what it actually means to be both the employee and the employer. None of it is impossible, but none of it is as straightforward as it looks from the outside. [17:42] What "Advisor-Led and AI-Powered" Actually Means: Kara is intentionally transparent about using AI — it's front and center on her website and LinkedIn — because she wants clients to ask her about it. In practice, AI handles the research and monitoring work that would otherwise consume her mornings: a daily media scan, a customized briefing, a business development follow-up queue, all delivered before she sits down to work. She's not using AI to draft comms plans; she's using it to stress-test the ones she writes. The distinction matters, especially with clients in regulated industries where data security isn't optional. [22:25] Bring Comms to the Table Before the Decision Is Made: Kara's most consistent frustration from 20 years in corporate: communications professionals are brought in after the decision has already been made. The announcement is written. Now communicate it. But that's where the real opportunity is lost. Comms can inform the decision itself — reading the room, flagging what employees are already feeling, identifying timing conflicts in the news landscape — but only if practitioners are included early. It's not about ego. It's about outcomes. [25:17] Thinking About All the Audiences, Not Just the Obvious One: When a leadership transition is announced, the C-suite is often focused on one key audience — investors, say, or the board. Kara's job is to hold the full map: employees, customers, partners, media, and community. Each audience needs something different from the same moment. That multi-audience perspective is something communicators bring that AI and algorithms can't replicate, and it's one of the clearest arguments for bringing comms in before the decision, not after. [26:58] The Case for Communicating Less: A provocative take from someone whose business is communications: sometimes the most strategic thing you can do is recommend less of it. Kara has worked in organizations with hundreds of communications professionals and organizations with none — and the sky didn't fall in either place. What matters is the right message, from the right person, to the right audience. Blasting every channel because you have them is not a strategy. It's noise, and it trains people to tune you out. [38:18] Authenticity Is Kara's Signature Topic — and Her Strongest Conviction: After two decades of watching leaders transform at the podium — warm and candid in the hallway, robotic and on-script in front of an audience — Kara has landed on authenticity as her defining professional issue. Not because it's a buzzword, but because the gap between who a leader is and how they communicate creates a trust deficit that messages alone can't close. The good news: it's coachable. The harder truth: some leaders won't be coached, and sometimes the right answer is to find a different spokesperson for that moment.   About Kara Ryan Kara Ryan is the founder and principal of Klyr Strategies (pronounced "clear"), a communications advisory serving small to mid-size companies in the medical device and healthcare space. Kara spent 20 years in corporate communications, working across financial services and highly regulated healthcare environments, with deep expertise in the high-stakes moments that define organizations: product launches, leadership transitions, acquisitions, and IPO preparation. She is based in Orange County, California — a hub for medical device manufacturers — and brings boardroom-level experience to clients who are doing big things without an in-house communications team to support them. She describes her practice as advisor-led and AI-powered, is transparent with clients about how and why she uses AI tools, and takes data security seriously as a non-negotiable.

A Russian drone hits a Romanian apartment block, two civilians are injured, and suddenly a stray weapon becomes a case study in how Putin's Kremlin handles bad news. Why does the Kremlin's crisis management default to a belligerent, self-sabotaging sequence that turns a manageable incident into a wider political problem?It comes down to the priorities of an insecure, personalistic authoritarian system that equates any admission of failure with weakness, that regards information as a battlefield, and which lacks institutional filters between personality and policy.Details of the 23 June event in Potsdam I mentioned are:https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/marc-galeotti-autocracy-vs-technocracy-explaining-ukraine-war-6107930The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here. Support the show

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid open with an unsettling pattern. Tulsi Gabbard's husband Abraham just got hit with a rare bone cancer, Pam Bondi has been quietly fighting thyroid cancer for months, and Alpha walks through the Judith Vary Baker SV40 history that suggests the deep state has had weaponized cancer biotech since the 1950s. His takeaway is direct. John Ratcliffe needs to go either way, and the intelligence community needs to be consolidated down to one or two agencies. From there, the boys celebrate. Ken Paxton crushed John Cornyn sixty four to thirty six in Texas, Trump's endorsement record in 2026 just hit one hundred seventeen and zero, and the RNC is sitting on a hundred twenty four million dollars in cash while the Democrat party is actually negative three million in the hole. ActBlue and USAID drying up has consequences. Plus the Camp David fake out as a tickle the wire baited operation, Trump's Q plus retruth and the War CTO timestamps, Stephen Miller saying fraud alone would balance the federal budget, the Tucker Carlson Qatar investigation, the Save America Act setup, and Alpha's Epstein DNA harvesting deep dive into Regina Dugan, New Albany Company, 23andMe, and the final Q post about the war for your DNA.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid come in swinging on Episode 26. Trump posts the "calm before the storm" with a Navy admiral in the frame, and the Q delta timestamp matches perfectly. Todd Blanche confirms Russiagate and the 2020 election are both under active investigation. MTG goes on camera to trash Q, and Alpha and Josh lay out exactly why that move was predictable and what it reveals about her. Trump then floods Truth Social with AI images of an alien in shackles and Space Force weapons, and the guys connect it to the Carol Rosen warning about the staged alien card false flag. Meanwhile, Hal Puthoff goes on record for the first time confirming the US has recovered craft with four distinct alien species. A landmark disclosure episode and another Sunday night that will age very well.

We discuss where crisis management often goes wrong, what leaders can learn from failures like United Airlines, and why “black box thinking” matters in both business and marketing.Jim also opens up about his own cancer diagnosis and the mindset that helped him through it.Get Jim's new book, Tailwind here:https://www.amazon.com/Tailwind-Compass-Turning-Setback-Comeback/dp/B0GXCM3VYT/00:00 - Start01:11 - Lessons from Captain Sully's Hudson River landing06:11 - The black box thinking approach to marketing07:30 - Other crises Jim has had to deal with in his career09:18 - When crisis management goes wrong - United Airlines13:11 - Managing merging two cultures15:27 - The situation when Jim's CEO had a heart attack18:00 - Jim's cancer diagnosis23:30 - The power of positive mentality28:30 - Don't ask yourself what if, ask yourself why not31:34 - The power of a fourth space34:05 - Crisis doesn't build character, it reveals it37:02 - Leadership lessons from Howard Schultz38:58 - Jim's advice for those people facing a crisis

In this week's news roundup, Edmund Keith and Simon Baker break down four of the biggest stories from the world of real estate portals.Zillow & Realtor.com Pre-Market PartnershipZillow and Realtor.com — long-time competitors — have announced a deal to share pre-market "preview" listings, forming a rival to the Compass-Redfin pre-market network. Unlike the Compass-Redfin arrangement (which is closed to outside brokerages), the Zillow-Realtor.com network is open to any brokerage that wants to participate, with a revenue share on offer. Ed and Simon debate whether pre-market listings are genuinely different from regular listings, who really benefits, and whether this is a stepping stone toward Zillow entering the brokerage space with its own agents.Square Yards FY2026 Results & IPO SpeculationIndian proptech platform Square Yards reported strong FY2026 results: revenue of approximately $223 million (up 48% year-on-year), gross profit of $51 million at a 23% margin, with Indian revenue growing 57% and now representing 88% of the group total. IPO speculation is growing. Ed and Simon discuss what makes Square Yards' multi-business-unit model compelling, and the long-running consolidation question in India's portal market.Vend Launches New AI UnitVend (formerly Schibsted Marketplaces, operating Finn.no and other Nordic classifieds) posted Q1 real estate revenue of $36.6 million — up 13% — with EBITDA of $17.6 million at a 48% margin. Alongside the numbers, Vend announced a new AI unit: a small, agile, independent team tasked with rapidly experimenting with fundamentally different marketplace offerings.Why Aren't Portals Talking About What They Do?Ed shares findings from a new OMP data project cataloguing five years of product innovation coverage: just five portals accounted for 32% of all coverage, Zillow alone at 12%, and 88% of the portals OMP tracks had zero coverage. He and Simon debate why so many portals stay silent about their product work, even as their market caps decline.Presented by:• Edmund Keith — https://www.linkedin.com/in/edmund-keith/• Simon Baker — https://www.linkedin.com/in/stbaker/

#192: Lee Gordon handles Communications and Government Affairs at Brunswick Corporation, the world's largest recreational boat and marine technology company. In this episode, Lee talks about what it actually takes to run comms at a publicly traded company in 2026 — when tariffs, politics, AI, and the 24-hour news cycle have all collided at once. Here's what we cover: ✅ Why he runs his team like a newsroom and refuses to be a "short-order cook" churning out press releases on demand. ✅ What a real crisis looks like (a shooting at a company facility) and how he navigated it in real time. ✅ Why your personal brand matters more than you think — and what happens when you ignore it. ✅ How he's using AI on his team right now, and where he thinks it still falls short. ✅ The one edge he says AI will never be able to replace. Lee is the kind of guest who tells you how the sausage actually gets made. No corporate-speak, no polished talking points — just straight talk.  Give it a listen. And if you know someone in comms, marketing, or PR who'd get something out of it, send it their way.

Lulu is a PR & Comms expert who works with many of the best startup founders in the world.

Meet Sarah Dyce, Public Affairs and Marketing Manager at the Victorian Institute of Sport.Sarah has a wealth of experience in sports communications, working behind the scenes of the moments that matter most. After graduating with a Bachelor of Marketing and Public Relations from the University of Notre Dame in Perth, Sarah made a bold move to Melbourne in 2018.But here's the part most people don't know. Sarah never set out to work in sport. She arrived in Melbourne in 2018 with a marketing degree, no contacts, and a determination to avoid a nine-to-five in Perth's mining and oil and gas sector. She found a listing on a website better known for arts and theatre jobs, applied for an unpaid internship at Swimming Australia, and quietly outworked everyone around her until the industry had no choice but to take notice.What followed was years of contract roles spanning Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games as part of the Australian Olympic Committee's Main Press Centre team, worked the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, the World University Games in Berlin, the Australian Open, A-League Finals Series, and helped orchastrate one of the most viral moments of the 2025 Australian Open - the now-famous Carlos Alcaraz and young fan John's encounter that captured the world's attention.In this episode, Sarah takes us through the mindset shift that made contract life work for her, the networking habits she built that kept the opportunities coming, and the deliberate decisions she made along the way that led her to the role she has today. If you've ever talked yourself out of applying for a sport role because you didn't feel "sport enough," Sarah's story is the one you need to hear!We cover:(03:07) - Interview starts(09:23) - Quick Fire Questions(16:32) - Why Sarah moved from Western Australia to Melbourne?(20:11) - What her time at Swimming Australia taught Sarah(24:08) - Why Sarah left a full-time role to pick up contract work(28:48) - Sarah's takeaways from contract work(31:54) - How Sarah managed to stack contracts(36:42) - What a day in the AOC Main Press Centre team looks like(43:14) - Differences and similarities of working at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics(51:53) - The viral AO moment Sarah helped make happen(57:27) - How Sarah landed a role at the World University Games in Berlin(01:02:46) - How Sarah's current role at the VIS came about(01:07:20) - How do you measure success across the various roles Sarah has held(01:09:28) - Biggest challenges in sports media and PR(01:11:16) - How you can stand out in a saturated sports media landscape(01:13:22) - How to handle difficult situations as a sports comms professional(01:16:19) - How to build trust and relationships with variou stakeholders in sport(01:19:00) - Impact of mentors on Sarah's journey(01:24:07) - How to land a job in sport media and PR in the next 30 days(01:25:49) - Biggest "Pinch Me" moment working in sport(01:29:39) - What is a takeaway from a family member that influenced your career in sport?(01:31:22) - Sarah's question for next guestIf you liked this ep, give these a go:#281: Journey to Head of Media Rights at Cricket Australia with Abhi Arunachalam#312: How Vimal Kumar Became a Cricket Writer, Built 600k+ on YouTube & Travelled the World#335: How to land a job at the VIS with Director of People & Community, Daniel SimonsWant a job in sport?

Send us Fan MailA deepfake can hit your audience before your first internal briefing ends and the most “engaging” version of events is often the least true. That's the reality we dig into with James Hartsfield, former director of communications at NASA's Johnson Space Center, as we unpack what it takes to lead crisis communications in a changing media environment.We start with the foundation: practice. James explains why crisis exercises work best when communicators learn the system itself, not just the talking points, and why leadership has to show up side by side in simulations. He shares a memorable onboarding story that captures the standard at NASA: if you want to communicate under pressure, you need enough technical understanding to earn respect, stay coherent, and translate complexity into simple, accurate language.From there we get into what audiences actually respond to. People care about people, and crisis communication has to acknowledge human impact first, then clearly explain what happened and what you're doing next. James also offers a hard-earned lens on post-crisis reviews: hindsight is a powerful teacher, but it's a terrible yardstick for judging decisions made in real time.Then we take on the modern media landscape: fewer specialist reporters, less incentive for objectivity, and more profit in picking sides. Add social platforms, AI misinformation, and deepfake videos, and the job becomes equal parts truth-telling and distribution strategy. We close with the leadership side of readiness: how to hire communications staff, what traits matter most, and how NASA scales up communications teams during a major crisis by pulling trained people from across the agency.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with someone who owns crisis response at your organization, and leave a review with the one insight you're taking into your next drill.We'd love to hear from you.  Email the show at Tom@leadinginacrisis.com.

How did the well-oiled machine that built the historic Obama campaign in 2008 fail so catastrophically in 2024?--This week on Socially Democratic, Stephen speaks with Josh Cook and Greta Carnes about their report ‘The Future of Democratic Organizing'.Greta is a political campaigner and researcher, while Josh is an expert in digital strategy and engagement. Both are U.S.-based ‘Obama for America' alums with over a decade of experience in national campaigns.We ask:

Send us Fan MailA shuttle breaks apart on re-entry, the world demands answers, and the people closest to the story have to decide what transparency actually looks like when an investigation is just getting started. We pick back up with James Hartsfield, former director of communications for NASA's Johnson Space Center, to talk through what happened after Columbia's first, intense week of press briefings and why it was essential for the Columbia Accident Investigation Board to take the communications lead. That handoff isn't just process, it's credibility, and it's a reminder that you can't invent trust in the middle of a crisis.We also get into the messier modern reality: crisis communications with partners. International cooperation on the ISS set the stage for commercial spaceflight, where companies have proprietary constraints but NASA still owes the public clear, honest answers when astronauts are involved. Using the Boeing Starliner situation as a lens, we break down how “stranded crew” became a headline, why that framing can be misleading, and how leaders can correct the record without fanning the flames. If you care about crisis leadership, reputation management, and clear communication under pressure, this conversation delivers hard-earned lessons you can use anywhere.Subscribe, share this with someone who leads in high-stakes moments, and leave a review so more people can find the show. #NASA #spaceflight #spacex #crisiscomms #emergencymanagementWe'd love to hear from you.  Email the show at Tom@leadinginacrisis.com.

Send us Fan MailColumbia didn't arrive when it was supposed to, and the whole world felt the silence. We sit down again with James Hartsfield, recently retired as director of communications at NASA's Johnson Space Center, to walk through the most difficult minutes and hours after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster and what crisis leadership looks like when every word carries consequence.He also looked back at the space shuttle Challenger response, and shares his thoughts on how differently the two incidents were handled by NASA leaders. We talk about confirming the loss of the crew, and why that announcement belongs to the White House. From there, James breaks down the fundamentals of crisis communication that keep an agency functioning: stay focused on the job, protect public safety, and move fast with transparency. He explains how first statements shape trust, why credibility can shatter in a day, and how Columbia differed from Challenger when leaders chose to follow the crisis communications plan instead of clamming up.You'll also hear the real mechanics behind daily press briefings: tracking press coverage, rumors, and speculation, coordinating updates from debris recovery and the investigation, and preparing leaders who are technical experts but still need to sound human. James shares why empathy matters, and why the best “talking points” are really “thought provokers” that help leaders speak truthfully without sounding scripted.If you care about crisis management, emergency communications, public affairs, and high-stakes leadership under pressure, this conversation is a practical playbook.

OpenAI recently acquired TBPN (Technology Business Programming Network). Rob and Elsie discuss the relationship between Sam Altman and TBPN's John Coogan, the network's high production value, and what it means for OpenAI's public-facing brand as they head toward an expected IPO.Elsie takes a moment to celebrate Frank Racioppi's recent Forbes piece, giving him his well-deserved flowers for his thoughtful advocacy and committed support of the independent community. While the article is titled "There's A War Of Independents In Podcasting," Elsie highlights how Frank successfully name-checks the creators and shows that mainstream media often ignores. She suggests that while the "war" framing reflects the struggle against celebrity-driven network dominance, the real story is the robustness of middle-tier creators who are building sustainable, profitable businesses on their own terms. Finally, the episode looks at Spotify's rollout of AI-prompted playlists for podcasts and the ongoing friction of cumbersome guest intake forms.Come to hang out with us!⭐️ Apple Podcasts Video Q&A, with Elsie Escobar - YouTubeLinks to interesting things from this episode:People & ShowsJohn Coogan & Jordi Hays: Hosts of TBPN (Technology Business Programming Network).Frank Racioppi: Owner of Earworthy and Forbes contributor.Cynthia Bemis Abrams: Host of Advanced TV History.Ciara Miller: Reality TV superstar highlighted in the Flattering Ram.Bitch Is BetterBravo!

Have your heart set on freelancing? A lot of copywriters do. And that was Jen, too. She was freelance or bust. In fact, the last time we talked to her, she was thriving as a freelancer, making upwards of 10K/month while home schooling her kids. So, why the heck did she take an on-staff job?! When you're really clear on what you want and why you want it, you realize there are multiple ways to get there. For Jen, flexibility and freedom are the MOST important. But freelancing isn't the only way to get those things. If you've always felt like freelancing was the only way to hit your goals, you'll want to listen to Jen's update.

That little button is not your enemy — but nobody tells you that when you're a student pilot white-knuckling your first radio call. In episode 175, Brian, Ben, and Ted dig into everything they wish someone had told them about ATC before training started. Why "say again" is a superpower and not an admission of failure. How to read back what matters without trying to memorize everything the controller just said. Why knowing who you're talking to — ground, tower, approach, center — shrinks the panic down to a manageable size. How live ATC on your commute is basically free ground school. And the single most important thing any student pilot can do before pressing that button: practice the words before you say them. Whether you're still circling an uncontrolled airport wondering what to say on the CTAF or you're tangled up in a busy Class Charlie wondering how anyone does this naturally — they didn't. They just got the reps.

Hosted by a rotating mix of Badlands Media personalities, this episode of OnlyLands delivers a chaotic, unfiltered conversation that jumps from internet “comms” culture and narrative fatigue to music history, entertainment, and conspiracy-adjacent speculation. The hosts kick things off by poking fun at how “comms” have devolved into marketing gimmicks before diving into a wide-ranging discussion that blends humor with skepticism about how information is interpreted online. The conversation weaves through topics like the evolution of iconic bands and the cultural crossover that shaped their sound, while also touching on modern trends in media, entertainment, and the strange overlap between reality and perception. From there, the panel explores everything from UFO narratives and government “tippy top” classifications to speculation around hidden programs and how online communities interpret these signals. Later in the episode, the tone shifts into pop culture and current events, including discussions around film, celebrity culture, and the machine surrounding high-profile figures, highlighting how fame, money, and influence shape public narratives. The episode closes with lighter banter around movies, TV, and shared cultural moments, keeping the show's signature mix of irreverence and curiosity intact.
