Podcasts about policy matters

Welcome to Without Borders, the podcast from Tyto. As the only PR and communications agency built to scale high-growth technology companies faster across Europe, we know that communicating effectively in this region is rarely as simple as it seems. Every market has its own dynamics, expectations and cultural nuances, and even the biggest, most established global brands can find Europe a challenging place to build visibility and sustain momentum at scale. This podcast explores those challenges and offers practical insight for ambitious PR and comms teams. Across our different series, we look at what it really takes to drive an effective PR programme across Europe - from the lessons founders learn as they enter markets, to the way journalists and influencers shape the narrative, to the policy shifts that influence how technology is understood and regulated. Our latest series, Policy Matters, examines the evolving relationship between policy, media and communications. It's designed to give PR leaders a clearer view of how these forces interact, how political conversations take shape, and how organisations can engage thoughtfully and credibly in a landscape where the pace is accelerating and the stakes are rising. In this episode, we're joined by Ben Lyons, Senior Director of Policy and Public Affairs at Darktrace, a global leader in AI cybersecurity.  Previously, Ben led policy communications at Virgin Media and spent several years in the UK Government's Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, including as Head of External Affairs. Ben discusses why technology companies need to be more present in policy conversations than ever before, as regulation and public expectations increasingly shape how the sector operates. He discusses the role communications can play in helping governments and wider audiences understand complex issues, and in building the kind of trust that supports responsible innovation. This fascinating conversation also looks at what effective policy engagement involves in practice, focusing on the right issues, shaping narratives early, and communicating clearly across audiences and markets as influence evolves across a broader range of digital channels, forums, and media outlets. For more episodes of Without Borders, visit our YouTube channel, and don't forget to subscribe on your preferred podcast platform to stay up to date.

She emphasises the growing importance of transparency, authenticity, and clear storytelling in shaping how innovation is understood by policymakers and the public.  She also reflects on the value of close alignment between comms and policy teams, the need to deploy the right spokespeople at key moments, and how digital channels and influencers are increasingly central to earning credibility and gaining influence. For more episodes of Without Borders, visit our YouTube channel, and don't forget to subscribe on your preferred podcast platform to stay up to date. 

Policy Advocacy: Part 4: What every domestic violence survivor & advocate should know about Artificial Intelligence.

AI and large language models that have been trained on content containing gender stereotypes and are now integrated into many everyday platforms, such as X's Grok AI or Meta AI. These platforms are now being used to further propagate the spread of gender based abuse in an even more violent and widespread manner than before.Since the boom of artificial intelligence via ChatGPT in 2023, AI has become a household name and topic across the globe. In this new reality, both new challenges and new opportunities are at the forefront of the conversation for domestic violence survivors and advocates alike.Our guest is Adam Dodge. As the founder of EndTAB.org (Ending Technology-Enabled Abuse), and the Tech-savvy parent (https://www.thetechsavvyparent.com/) Adam's work is characterized by his dedication to addressing the existing and future threats posed by technology to victims of crime and gender-based violence.

With more than twenty years of experience working at the intersection of policy and communications, including senior roles within the Canadian government, Chris brings a wealth of insight and a valuable perspective to the conversation. Chris explores how comms leaders can navigate the contrasting policy landscapes of Europe and the US and maintain consistent messaging across jurisdictions. He argues that media should be seen not as stakeholders but as channels to the audiencesshaping policy and highlights how comms teams can add real strategic value by understanding the business and helping organisations move forward. Chris also discusses the need to be political while staying clear of partisan divides and reflects on the increasing influence big tech now holds over regulatory decisions. For more episodes of Without Borders, visit our YouTube channel, and don't forget to subscribe on your preferred podcast platform to stay up to date.

Never have policy initiatives been so important than in today's society. Neoliberal manifestations, climate change, civil rights movements, and governmental reactions to these issues have created a backdrop where greater education in policy analysis and development is vital.

While focused on the Canadian example, Policy Matters: Perspectives, Procedures, and Processes (Emerald Publishing, 2023) draws from a variety of examples and has relevance to education systems in other countries.
