Under Embargo Podcast

Welcome to 🎙️Under Embargo—the no fluff, no filters, no f*cks given communications podcast.

PR and communications have never been messier. AI is ruining brand voice, CEOs’ hot takes matter more than actual products, and the best media relationships happen in DMs (where LinkedIn holds more sway than The Wall Street Journal.)

Meanwhile, comms pros are now ghostwriters, social strategists, prompt engineers, and trend forecasters all at once—but we still have to elbow our way to the boardroom table.

Welcome to Under Embargo—the podcast where Becca Chambers (corporate comms powerhouse, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, and ADHD queen) and Parry Headrick (Crackle PR agency founder, media whisperer, and professional sh*t-stirrer) say the quiet part out loud about PR, communications, and the insanity in between.

With decades of experience and a mutual allergy to corporate BS, Becca and Parry bring unfiltered takes, sharp industry insights, and battle-tested wisdom from both the agency and in-house trenches of communications.

No fluff.
No press releases that no one will read.
And definitely no thought leadership hot takes written by ChatGPT.

New episodes drop whenever we feel like it (or get our act together).

🎙️ Under Embargo: No fluff. No filters. No f*cks given.
