Ever wondered why some companies make the news, but others don't? To combat the lack of understanding on how news becomes news, two former journo colleagues Greer Quinn and Jo Stone have joined forces to launch a podcast demystifying the misunderstood professions of public relations and journalism. Greer and Jo speak to an array of journalists, including iconic feature writer and author Trent Dalton, Channel Seven’s Sunrise presenter Tamra Bow, ABC Morning Show host Tom Forbes as well as a range of industry experts and service providers, so you can have all the tools in your kit to score publicity. Asking journos everything from what time they get up in the morning, to pet peeves and favourite yarns, It's PR Darlings pulls back the curtain, to provide an insider's look on how newsrooms and corporate communications work. The duo believes that for media to survive and thrive the era of misinformation and disinformation, there’s a need for greater transparency around the profession. Media cutbacks have left newsrooms under-resourced, so more than ever communications and PR professionals need to step up and make the journo's job easier. Greer and Jo will also delve into crisis management, news values, how to package a pitch and media ethics. And to ensure, you can talk the industry talk, each show of It’s PR Darlings will be brought to you by some of those weird words and jargon that get thrown in the mix like “noddy”, “pre-rec” and “talent”. Great podcast for media, communications professionals, businesses and startups wanting to boost their skills, knowledge and newsworthiness.

Welcome to Mirage Travel Writing Podcast, I’m your host William Barlow.
After two decades of indigent wanderings, I’m coming to you with stories, curiosities, and questions. In this first season, there will be narratives of sleeping on the streets in European capitals. There will be tales of crocodile men in remote Central African Republic and armed groups in eastern DR Congo all told through the experience of an aid worker. We will try to understand what it means to be a foreigner in clanic Palestinian society, and why not chronicle the ins and outs of a Parisian sexclub during a gangbang. Stories, all told with the tact of an anthropologist. Somewhat.
The storytelling is pulled from ten years of published and unpublished writing about the West, the Middle East, and Africa and raises questions relating to cross-cultural understanding or better yet, misunderstanding. I welcome your feedback and interpretations of stories, namely on the many oddities that come from travel across cultures.
The podcast will also feature writing from listeners. Writing that can be published anonymously. Writing of confusion or awe at the puzzle of cultures. Stories that serve no other purpose but to be told.
