Pitch Perfect: the PR Podcast
Extending from the very successful r/publicrelations group on Reddit, Pitch Perfect talks to top PR professionals from a variety of different roles, focus areas, geographies and approaches to gain insight into how to enter the field, do the work, manage the career, deal with the highs and lows, and everything else involved in being a communications professional. Topics include public affairs, investor relations, tech PR, internal communications and, hopefully, not too much celebrity PR.

Harlan Teller
Harlan Teller is a legend in the PR business. Harlan led the corporate communications function at Burson Marsteller for America, for Hill & Knowlton worldwide, for Financial Dynamics (then FTI), and then was an Executive Director at APCO. Switching to the education sector, he's been C-level in comms and marketing for Northern Illinois University, Northern Arizona University, and now Central Michigan University. But it's not just about experience - lots of people put in time in this industry, but that doesn't make them Harlan Teller. He's a genius in comms and also career management, and a voice of calm and simplicity in an industry that takes itself way too seriously sometimes. We talked about his career, his ideas on being successful in agency as a young person, how to manage stress, how to best manage clients, business development and how to be successful at it. With Harlan, it's less about technique and more about mindset.
