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.

Ep. 2 - Alexandra Priola, FTI Consulting
One question PR people are always asking themselves is, "How do I get out of the grind of media relations and pivot to a role that uses my communications strengths?" Alexandra Priola is an answer to that question: she's a Managing Director in the People and Change practice at FTI Consulting, one of the world's foremost consulting firms, and a global leader in employee communications who was recognized by Ragan's PR Weekly as one of 2025's Top Women in Communications. We discussed trends in internal comms, how to build trust, scripting of executives, and other topics about consulting. We also discussed aspects of career management: how to collaborate, how to balance the demands of work and life (she's a mother of three), what choices to make as a junior person, and what she looks for in a resume.
