The end result is a terrific discussion between the two about public relations today and it’s role within the ever-changing Canadian media landscape.

We’re trying something a bit different with the show notes this week. It takes a great deal of time and effort to develop the detailed show notes you usually find for each show, and we’re not certain the return is worth the investment. So we’re going to move towards more abbreviated show notes (see below) in the hopes of freeing up a bit more of Chris Clarke’s time for other, more pressing matters. Hope this doesn’t leave too many listeners in the lurch. Let us know what you think about the new approach to show notes.
