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.

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.

In this episode of PR/etty Average, Lucinda and Lulu kick things off with their new (and deeply intellectual) segment “Riddle Me This”, where they unpack the big questions in life.

Lucinda dissects the clever chaos of Hailey Bieber’s Vogue cover, the hilarious clapbacks in her viral “what’s in my bag” video, and the art of turning haters into headline gold. Lucinda also explores The Ordinary’s NYC storefront campaign, including their very on-brand egg carton giveaway, and Lulu unpacks Stella Artois’ 2024 ‘Steal Artois’ campaign and what made it so successful. Smart, slightly unhinged, and packed with hot takes — it’s business as usual at PR/etty Average.

It’s unfiltered, it’s a bit feral, and honestly, it’s probably the most unserious fashion commentary you’ll hear all week. Tune in for the laughs, the tea, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humour.

Creators are burnt out, followers are ghosting, and the apps are in their “it’s not you, it’s me” era. In this episode, join Lucinda and Courts for a cultural debrief on why the internet feels like a haunted house full of people who refuse to comment… and why even apology marketing and trad-wife countercultures can’t distract us from the fact everyone’s quietly opting out..

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).
