Having founded Newcastle Start-up Week, Paul Lancaster also runs the Platform events - with the events being staged everywhere from the North East to Edinburgh.

He talks with host Charlotte Nichols about how he's helped multiple start-ups get up and running, as well as how PR helped to grow his own business.

The pair also discuss the mistakes brands make when dipping their toe into PR, and why 'shock tactics' may not always be the best approach - and the sector that sometimes ignores the power of PR.

Pneuma Legal CEO Helen Lyne joins host Charlotte Nichols in the Pocket-Sized PR hotseat.

And the pair take a deep dive into everything from the impact of AI in the law industry, how law shapes crisis comms and how NDAs can be a secret weapon for anyone launching a new brand.

Helen also opens up about her experience of doing business in a co-working space, whilst she also gives her advice on how businesses can tackle the growing threat of misinformation.

Nic Redman is a big fan of using your voice.

And the professional voice coach and director visits The Pocket-size PR Podcast to talk about doing just that - especially in an AI world.

As Nic points out, increasingly, our voice is one of the few unique things left to us.

And on this episode, she reinforces why that matters, along with how PR helps her as a solo business owner.
