In this episode, Abbie Fink and Dr. Adrian McIntyre help executives and their teams to think this through, because the right podcast strategy for YOU might not be the obvious one. (Most "how to start a podcast" advice is for indie creators, not business or nonprofit leaders.)

Abbie & Adrian talk about why there's no "one size fits all" strategy for driving business results with a podcast. Adrian explains the 4 "results levers" a podcast can pull -- in different combinations, depending on your objectives -- and gives examples for different business types:

AI in PR: Embracing Opportunities and Addressing Concerns 22:55

۵ روز پیش22:55

22:55

The 2025 Comms Report by Cision and PRWeek highlights the significant impact of AI on the PR industry, touching on both the opportunities and concerns AI presents. Abbie and Adrian discuss how AI is becoming an integral part of their workflows, while also addressing fears about job security and budget impacts. They emphasize the importance of adapting to these changes by equipping oneself with AI knowledge to enhance professional value and ensure a place at the decision-making table in future communications efforts. Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Key Takeaways AI serves as a powerful tool in PR for brainstorming, research, and content creation, but it should complement rather than replace human professionals. There's a growing trend in the industry towards developing proprietary AI tools tailored to specific needs, rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf solutions. Embracing AI requires upskilling, with an emphasis on understanding and leveraging technology to retain competitive advantage in PR. PR and communications pros need to leverage AI as a tool to enhance their skills and add value, rather than viewing it as a replacement for human expertise in the industry. Despite concerns about budget impacts due to AI capabilities, effective communication professionals must demonstrate how they can integrate AI while maintaining the human element essential for strategic insight.

Abbie and Adrian discuss the backlash against Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) programs amidst changing federal policies and ongoing cultural debates. They explore the tension between maintaining an inclusive workplace and the pushback against such initiatives, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue, factual evidence, and continuous learning. The conversation touches on "merit," the value of diverse voices, and the responsibility of businesses to foster inclusive environments and equitable practices. This episode offers a nuanced exploration of the challenges and opportunities in working together to create a better world. Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Key Takeaways Diversity is a fact of nature and should be mirrored within workplace environments to promote inclusivity and equity. Policy shifts have impacted the traditional DEI landscape, raising questions about meritocracy and representation. Systemic biases are pervasive, and acknowledging personal biases is essential for fostering more inclusive spaces. Real progress requires open, honest, and sometimes tough conversations about race, equity, and inclusion in society. Leaders of companies and non-profit organizations should authentically communicate their stance on DEI issues, reflecting these values in their operations and cultures.

Abbie and Adrian talk about the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer report, which reveals rising global grievances and declining trust in institutions. They explore how businesses, governments, and NGOs can rebuild trust amidst economic and social challenges. The discussion centers on the role of transparent communication, responsible leadership, how generational differences affect perceptions of trust and "hostile activism," as well as what people say institutions should do to improve societal trust. Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Key Takeaways The Edelman Trust Barometer reveals a global decline in trust across institutions, with grievances rising significantly. Business leaders are being called upon to spearhead trust restoration efforts, but this must be a collaborative endeavor involving governments, NGOs, and the media. Generational differences exist in perceptions of activism, with younger populations more inclined to view hostile activism as a necessary response to grievances. There is a pressing need for transparent and honest communication by institutions to combat misinformation and rebuild public trust. Consumers of news must also engage responsibly by seeking diverse perspectives and developing informed opinions.

Abbie Fink and Adrian McIntyre talk about the complexities of reputation management in the public relations field, raising ethical concerns around the tactics used by both celebrities and their representatives.

Public relations can sometimes shift from reputation management to reputation takedown, which is troubling. The tactics used in reputation management can have broader implications beyond celebrity culture, affecting public trust in media narratives. Crisis communication should prioritize the core of the complaint rather than deflecting attention to peripheral lawsuits and media claims.

Abbie and Adrian discuss the implications of this case, exploring how such legal actions can influence journalistic integrity and the delicate balance between business interests and the truth. They talk about the evolving role of media as both a watchdog and a business, particularly in an environment where ownership is increasingly concentrated among a few powerful individuals.

The Decline of Local News and Its Impact on Democracy 22:27

حدود یک سال پیش22:27

22:27

The decline of local media outlets in the United States poses significant threats to democracy and community engagement. Abbie Fink and Adrian McIntyre discuss the phenomenon of "news deserts," areas devoid of reliable local news sources, drawing on a comprehensive study by Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, Media and Integrated Marketing Communications that tracks the scale and impact of shrinking local journalism. Adrian and Abbie underscore the consequences of losing local media outlets, such as decreased civic participation, increased political polarization, and the loss of accountability from local governments and institutions. Abbie emphasizes the need for news literacy, educating communities on the importance of diverse news sources and equipping them with the tools to discern credible local reporting from passive consumption of national clips. Supporting local journalism goes beyond subscribing to local newspapers. It involves participating actively in local media by reading, sharing, and financially supporting credible journalism. Despite the grim outlook, Adrian points out the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit driving new digital journalism initiatives, including nonprofit organizations like States Newsroom and newsletters like the Arizona Agenda and Tucson Agenda . Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Key Takeaways The decline of local journalism and the diminishing number of local news outlets has created "news deserts" across the United States. Research shows that more than half of the nation's counties have little to no local news coverage. Local news is critical for civic engagement; its absence correlates with lower voter turnout, reduced civic participation, and increased political polarization. Consumers must support local publications to ensure diverse voices and accurate reporting. Investing in local journalism through subscriptions and active engagement is essential to maintain informed communities and foster public understanding and civic responsibility.
