The Relay
The Relay is PublicRelay's podcast for communications leaders who want to know what's actually happening, not just what happened. Each month, our Deep Dive breaks down one topic making real noise in earned media: the surprises, the non-obvious takeaways, and what to actually do about it. In between, you'll hear real conversations with comms leaders from around the world, plus shorter, practical episodes on the tools and questions shaping the profession right now. Same rule every episode: the data, not the hot take.
