No Worries If Not! - The PR Podcast Rhiannon Evans-Young and Amy Mace

We're back with a bonus broadcast episode to wrap up season two! And it's a cracker.

Today we're speaking to Martin Kimber, a producer at Sky's much-loved business programme, Business Live with Ian King. 

We've pitched many a client to Martin for the programme, so it was a joy to meet up and talk all things business and broadcast. In this episode, we discover how he finds that needle in the haystack of PR pitches to select Ian King's roster of guests, the inspiration behind his incredibly useful Twitter/X threads, and why broadcast can be so brutal (but so worth it) for PRs and their clients.
We hope you enjoy listening. See you in series three!

In our fifth episode this season, we speak to Hannah Prevett, Deputy Editor of The Times Enterprise Network: one of the most prestigious hubs for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Hannah has had her sights set on journalism for as long as she can remember. She joined The Times in 2015 to head up commercial business content, and was part of the launch team for The Times Enterprise Network in 2021, where she’s been ever since.

We touch on some of Hannah’s career highlights, get the inside scoop on TEN’s publishing schedule, and run through the all-important do’s and don’ts for PRs keen to make it into her good books.

Its a cracker, enjoy listening!

Our guest this week is the brilliant Sarah Marsh, Consumer Affairs Correspondent at The Guardian. Sarah kick-started her career in journalism with an internship at Wired and a stint as sub-editor for China Daily. After securing a non-editorial role with The Guardian over 10 years ago, she took up the Consumer Affairs beat in 2023 and has been covering a wide range of topics - from vaping to fertility - ever since.

We loved hearing about her career journey, where she finds inspiration for stories, and the topics she’s keen to cover this year. We hope you enjoy it!

This week we have another great episode for you. We're joined by Dan Taylor, Managing Editor at Tech.eu. Despite studying music and beginning his career as a professional opera singer, Dan has always had a passion for tech. He first started  blogging about the tech industry. He then ran a successful freelance photography operation for a number of years before joining Tech.eu in 2021. 
We spoke to Dan about his unique path into tech journalism, how his team operates, his PR pet peeves and what he understands by the term "exclusive". We really enjoyed this one. We hope you do, too!

In our second episode this season, we’re speaking to the wonderful Frances Hedges: Deputy Editor at Harper’s Bazaar. Frances has had an impressive career in digital and magazine journalism, having worked across the Royal Society of the Arts journal, Net-A-Porter and Elle Decoration before joining Harper’s Bazaar, where she has stayed for just shy of a decade.

In our chat we touch on the changing relationship between digital and print at Harper’s Bazaar, the structure and schedule of Frances' team, and what she looks for from PRs hoping to land stories in the glossies.

Note to PRs: Frances is currently on maternity leave, with Marie-Claire Chappet taking over as deputy editor until she returns next year.
