  • End of an era

    End of an era
    Nov 13 2025

    In this episode, we say a heartfelt goodbye to Lulu, our OG podcast queen, TikTok wizard, and the glue that’s held this mic’d-up circus together since day one. We reflect on her time at BPR, the legacy she leaves behind, and why every PR team needs a Lulu in their group chat (and their inbox). But it’s not all sad goodbyes… we’re also unpacking some of the wildest campaigns and media moments of the month, including Sydney Sweeney’s GQ Man of the Year interview (the most baffling profile we’ve seen all year?), the latest VOGUE cover, and a few more campaign reflections. Oh, and a little bit of opera singing thrown in there (soz to your ears in advance).

  • Alter egos, nepo babies...and the end of the polished PR era?

    Alter egos, nepo babies...and the end of the polished PR era?
    Oct 22 2025

    KJ Apa’s wigged-out alter ego is dancing through the streets with fake teeth and a British accent, Anna Wintour has named her successor at Vogue, and we’re trying to figure out if culture has officially entered its PR fever dream...


    First up, Courtney and Teagan dive into the Mr Fantasy phenomenon that has TikTok in a chokehold — wigs, street serenades, Chipotle brand deals and all. But is this a calculated PR masterclass, or just a celebrity in his chaos era?


    Then it’s over to Vogue’s marble halls, where Chloe Malle — a self-proclaimed “proud nepo baby” — has officially stepped into Anna Wintour’s shoes. Is this the dawn of a new Vogue era or just the soft launch of legacy media 2.0?

    It’s wigs, Wintour, and way too much discourse… welcome to the chaos economy I guess!

  • 99% PR, 1% Gambling, with Luca Kante

    99% PR, 1% Gambling, with Luca Kante
    Sep 9 2025

    From posting gambling videos on a joke spam account to becoming a 250K-follower phenomenon, Luca Kante’s story is a masterclass in personal brand PR. In this episode, we unpack how his viral catchphrase “come on cuz” took over Instagram, what it means to have influence before intention, and why he believes 99% of what he does is PR — not marketing. Luca opens up about the responsibility that comes with reach, his pivot away from gambling, and how he’s using his platform to do good, including his campaign to donate $10K to men’s mental health. It’s raw, reflective, and a must-listen for anyone in digital media, PR, or content strategy.

    Jul 23 2025
    Lucinda Bayly is joined by Genevieve Brammall, the media strategist leading News Corp’s push to integrate influencers beyond traditional marketing — positioning them as powerful channels for education, advocacy, and audience engagement. With deep experience shaping how major news brands connect with creators, Gen shares how she built the business case to elevate influencer partnerships from side projects to strategic drivers.

    All the internet girlies are pop stars now
    Jul 7 2025

    This week on PR/etty Average, we’re joined by our Social Media & Content Executive, Teagan, for her podcast debut. Soph kicks things off with a classic round of blind Q&As—because what better way to welcome a new co-worker than with a little friendly interrogation? We also dive into our favourite cultural shift right now: the "internet girl to pop star" pipeline - think Addison Rae, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, and the wild, brilliant PR transformations that took them from so-called "cringe" internet personas to full-blown pop culture icons. Expect some laughs, a few lightbulb moments, and the usual rollercoaster of tangents. Just another classic week at BPR HQ.

  • The new rules of media with Gemma Acton

    The new rules of media with Gemma Acton
    Jun 23 2025
    In this episode of PR/etty Average, Lucinda Bayly is joined by Gemma Acton, one of Australia's most respected media and finance voices, for a wide-ranging and insightful conversation on the ever-changing landscape of journalism — and how PR professionals can meaningfully adapt. With a career spanning global finance, broadcast journalism, and newsroom leadership at Seven Network, Gemma shares her perspective on the digital-first shift, the rise of social platforms as story sources, and the increasing importance of relevance and timing in media pitching. She offers practical advice on how PRs can better understand newsroom demands, choose the right journalists for the right angles, and build enduring, respectful relationships in an era of shrinking newsrooms and non-stop cycles. The episode also explores deeper industry challenges — from the emotional toll of frontline reporting to the exodus of early-career journalists into comms roles. Gemma speaks candidly about the resilience and passion required to build a long-term career in journalism, and the growing value of community-first storytelling across platforms like podcasts and social media.
