The right for PR practitioners to ‘switch off’ from work emails and phone calls out of contracted hours is just one of the topics discussed on the latest PRWeek UK podcast.

This week’s Beyond the Noise podcast is hosted by PRWeek’s editor-in-chief, Danny Rogers, and features news editor Siobhan Holt and senior reporter Evie Barrett.

Potential new government guidance is pledging to give employees the right to ‘switch off’ from work outside of contracted working hours. The PRWeek journalists assess whether this guidance could work for the PR and communications industry.

Separately, the trio chat about the BBC talent show Strictly Come Dancing, which is set to return to television screens soon. We ask how the BBC can restore the show’s reputation following the recent allegations and string of negative stories; and hear from PR professionals who specialise in crisis and discuss the wider comms lessons.

In addition, the journalists question whether the portrayal of comms and PR on television is helping or hindering the PR industry.
