I second the "highly recommended" by @terrymatz.bsky.social. PR After Hours by @alexg.bsky.social is always worth a listen. This one in particular.
Highly recommend listening to this short piece by @alexg.bsky.social (it's only 7 minutes). It's valuable for both communicators (podcasters and others) and their audiences. Alex is a talented writer/podcaster with a lot of integrity. He discusses pitfalls and misconceptions and how to avoid them.
