When the BPPR team isn’t hard at work achieving exceptional results for their clients, one way they wind down and upskill is through listening to their favourite podcasts. Here are some of the BPPR team’s top podcast recommendations.
When It Hits The Fan – Sophie Blue
This brilliant podcast from BBC Sounds is all about the PR industry. Hosted by top UK PRs David Yelland and Simon Lewis (former Editor of The Sun, and Head of Comms at Buckingham Palace respectively) it’s an entertaining, PR-centric look at weekly news events.
Chat 10 Looks 3 – Maria Crema
Hosts Leigh Sales and Annabel Crabb provide a refreshing and entertaining discussion about the books they’ve read and the experiences they’ve had as reporters and mothers. Almost like a book club, this podcast has had me interested in texts that I wouldn’t have otherwise considered and reflect on life goals and aspirations.
How Did This Get Made? – Alana Free
This is an old favourite that I turn to every time I need a laugh or an easy distraction. Hosted by actors Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas and June Diane Raphael, this podcast takes a lighthearted look at some of the worst films ever made and asks the big question – how did this get made? For fans of films, especially terrible ones, and comedy!
If You’re Listening – Sophie Blue
Produced by ABC Listen, this is an always entertaining deep-dive into global politics. Host Matt Bevan is outstanding.
Uncanny – Cath Buchanan
A podcast that shared real life stories about the paranormal, where the host doesn’t just retell stories, he talks directly with people about their encounters.
LeVar Burton Reads – Alana Free
Short stories read with immersive audio by actor, TV host and early childhood literacy activist LeVar Burton, best known for his role as Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation.The podcast stopped producing new episodes in May 2024, but there are still over 200 episodes to enjoy. As someone who aims to publish a short story one day, I can only hope to have it be read in the soothing tones of LeVar Burton.
The Mentor with Mark Bouris – Sophie Blue
This podcast facilitates really enjoyable conversations with some of Australia’s best business owners and entrepreneurs.
Conversations – Maria Crema
Diving into the childhoods, inspirations, motivations, challenges, successes and mentors of some of Australia’s well known and also not-well known personalities helps me to reflect on my own life and journey.
