Beyond the Noise - the PRWeek podcast

Swearing, pocket dialling, wet trousers… ‘Am I the PR a***hole?’ podcast

Beyond the Noise - the PRWeek podcast

Show Notes

PRWeek looks at more of your comms confessions in the latest episode of the ‘Am I the PR A***hole?’ (AITPRA) podcast.

In each episode of AITPRA, PRWeek will read out your anonymous confessions and our judges – Lynn Advisory founder Shayoni Lynn and Hoffman Agency UK co-MD Richard Fogg – will decide whether an ethical line has been crossed.

Confessions can be submitted via this link. All the confessions are totally anonymous – PRWeek has no way of identifying the confessor. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen on your favourite platform.

This week’s confessions include:

Swearing about a journalist when the journalist could hear. Swearing at a Eurostar employee after missing a train to a press conference – then blaming journalists for the event starting late. Not standing up to shake a client’s hand because the confessor was not wearing trousers.

The episode is hosted by PRWeek UK editor John Harrington.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
