Inside PR
Inside PR is a weekly Canadian podcast about public relations. Agency veterans Terry Fallis, David Jones and Martin Waxman co-host the half-hour show. Each week, the guys will take a look under the hood of the public relations industry, explore topical and provocative issues, discuss listener comments, and even interview an interesting guest or two. Inside PR welcomes and depends on listener comments to ensure the continuing relevance of the show. Listeners can comment directly on the podcast blog at www.insidepr.ca or, even better, send in an audio comment to insideprcomments@gmail.com. If you’re already a business communicator or are looking to break into public relations, or even if you’re in another field but understand that communications, reputation, and image make and break organizations, listen to Inside PR.

In this special edition, David and Terry get together to chat with two producers of Canada's top morning show, Breakfast Television. Joining them from BT are Janina Palhares and Brad Matson. They discuss everything from good pitches to bad pitches, how to best reach them, the best and worst things PR people have done to them, and much more.

A big thank you to Brad and Janina for doing this, and we hope to have them back again someday soon.
