United Kingdom2 months ago - The industry is bigger than London
Most industry podcasts broadcast from London and assume that’s where the industry lives. Tony Gardner and the team at Viva PR built the show out of the North West. Its diversity of practice and regional perspectives is uplifting. Great job, Tony.
Apple Podcasts5StephenWaddingtonUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Whether you are a PR Pro or not,all these podcast are interesting and insightful.
I don’t know how Tony at Viva does it, podcast after podcast, another wonderful guest shares their experience and insight with listeners. I work in comms and marketing and really enjoy listening to ‘PR in the Real World’ podcasts; the variety of guests is vast and the way the interviews are structured make the podcasts easy listening yet full of learning.
Apple Podcasts5Ali WsUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Honest and fascinating
I’m not a pr professional but I’m always curious to gain insight into other people’s worlds. This is great as it isn’t a company blowing its own trumpet. Viva gives us an honest peek into the everyday lives of different pr specialists and how they developed their style and expertise. ( mainly through sheer grit and determination from what I’ve heard so far!) very inspirational for anybody really, whatever your line of work. Keep em coming Viva! 😊
