Stories and Strategies with Curzon Public Relations
Welcome to Stories and Strategies, the world’s most listened to Public Relations podcast feed, according to Podchaser, Goodpods, and data from Rephonic.
This feed brings together two complementary podcasts exploring the role, responsibility, and future of public relations from a global perspective.
Stories and Strategies with Curzon Public Relations is the flagship show, co hosted by Doug Downs and Farzana Baduel. Released every Tuesday, this 20 minute weekly podcast delivers bold ideas, sharp insights, and honest conversations about public relations, strategic communications, and marketing. From earned media and brand storytelling to AI and behavioural science, the show goes beyond surface commentary to focus on what truly shapes modern communications.
Also included in this feed is The Week UnSpun, a weekly live analysis of global news headlines through a public relations lens. Co hosted by Doug Downs, Farzana Baduel, and David Gallagher of Folgate Advisors, The Week UnSpun streams live every Friday at 10 a.m. Eastern / 3 p.m. UK time, with the audio edition released later the same day.
Follow now and join a worldwide community shaping the future of communications, one story and one headline at a time.
Stories and Strategies with Curzon Public Relations
Creativity – the UNcommon sense
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It’s a powerful tool that can solve complex problems, build resilience, create empathy, and develop space for human determination.
Psychologists have found creativity is more a personality trait than the result of a high IQ; and those traits are most commonly found in people we might call nonconformists, curious, or persistent. In short, creativity is borne from divergent thinking as opposed to convergence.
