Jason Mudd is one of the top practitioners in our field. And it was a distinct pleasure to appear “On Top of PR” and field his questions.

I do hope you find our conversation informative and entertaining.

And I highly recommend you follow On Top of PR. The name says it all. And the value add to any and all PR professionals is exponential.

Run, do not walk, to follow. :-)

Fun, Fresh and Informative

Was a guest on the show about crisis communications. Had a great time! Jason is down-to-earth, knowledgeable and engaging. He found meaningful ways to connect with my own experiences as a PR/communications professional. Will now be a loyal listener!

Fantastic show on PR

Axia does a great job with this show which offers a great glimpse into the PR world. Jason’s interviews and incredible questions really go along way into giving me different perspectives on how PR would work best for my business. A must listen if you’re thinking about PR in any capacity.
