    So happy this podcast is back!
    I love listening to Molly and her PR insights! I had just found her podcast last year when she initially wrapped it up. I was so happy to see she’s brought it back! This is a fascinating listen and insight as to why people do what they do to stay relevant and in the good graces of the public. She’s always spot on!

    ‘23:“FINAL pod: too much⏰,TikTok only bc no audience here” ‘24:“Did you rly think I was gone?”DUH!😡
    I’m really disappointed. This was my favorite podcast, then she suddenly ended it a year ago. Fine, it’s her life, she explained how it really wasn’t working, detailed how she didn’t have all the extra time, there wasn’t much of an audience here, it was all about TikTok. I’m not 15, so I don’t have TikTok and I’m not gonna pay for anyone’s patreon, so that was it. What rubs me the wrong way is her opening line about Did you really think I was gone?” + no explanation… Gurl, DUH, ‘cause you said?! No context for us huh, she really expects us to be okay without an explanation. Just admit you were wrong, it’s chill, we all make mistakes everyday.

    such a fascinating and unique podcast !! and she knows exactly what she’s talking about considering this is literally her profession which is always such a better experience to listen to compared to some rando khia just saying stuff … molly ur awesome !!

    Kyle Roth
    Kyle Roth is interesting…I don’t believe most of what she said. Molly is a true professional and I usually enjoy her analysis. Kyle is not credible in my opinion. She’s all over the place, begs her followers for money and I don’t like how she dismisses other content creators. A very negative vibe. Molly, please vet your guests more thoroughly.
  • arvisnelson
    Enough said not said
    There is a lot of content, words, information without really saying anything. Molly has done an excellent job at building her brand and content but who is the audience? Do reputable PR professionals and their clients put trust in someone who essentially is trying to be a celebrity? The more I listen to the podcast and watch her on TikTok there is more hypocrisy coming from Molly.
  • classical1
    Super informative
    Honestly one of my fave content creators on Tik Tok, so I decided to check out her podcast and I love it
  • ReelRyanStacy

    Great as always!
    I found Molly on her podcast and went I saw she was teaming up with Emily D. Baker for the Lizzo case, I HAD TO LISTEN. And I absolutely loved hearing both of these intelligent women’s perspective. I’m new to the podcast and I am so excited to keep listening to more of your work!!!!
  • The Agency East
    Incredible perspective
    Sensational episode! Heading over to listen to more!
  • SteelDoc
    Lots of filler
    Got turned onto this podcast from another content creator whom I usually trust. I tried a few episodes, but found them to be mostly filler. News, clips, or reading of articles and things like that with not much analysis - it all felt very surface level and like a recap of current events more than a pr discussion/analysis.

    Highly Recommend
    Invaluable information!

    Capital Information Awesome Host
    I’m here because I heard you on EBBM! Thank you for the Clarity 🏂🏂🏂
  • Krickitat
    Watch out for switchbacks!
    I followed you here from tiktok and I’ve found the podcast interesting. I really appreciated the vid you made after the whole incident and thought you made a good explanation video. But…then you released your latest pod episode where it just feels to me like your saying “yes I said I didn’t read the room but here’s how I really wasn’t wrong and why y’all should stop being mean to me” Not into it, this episode was the switchback double down you yourself constantly say to avoid which just makes you a hypocrite
  • Mehnny
    Love this pod
    Found Molly on YouTube. Keep the content coming💪
  • kaylynn.kelley
    Ye episode very disappointing
    The episode about Ye lacked substance around the real issue - hate speech and how destructive it is to our society. I waited for you to say anything but support for Ye’s behavior but you doubled down on your support of his music as a musical genius. Disgusting. I have been a listener for a while and have shared it with many people. I will no longer and will make sure all of the people I’ve shared it with also reevaluate listening.

    Super interesting
    This podcast and Molly in general is so good at displaying human nature and psychology in the lens of Public Relations and PR crises. Much appreciated!
  • tbonedawg44
    Sad transition to political commentary
    As a utility executive and professional communicator, I once valued this podcast. Quite often I picked up a cool thought or tip. Unfortunately, over the last year, the host’s political commentary seemed to take over the content, selection of topics, and guests. Sadly, this podcast lost value. You went from an objective, professional tool to just another virtue signaling voice who forgot that at least half of the audience has a different take on your political point of view. And no, I don’t want to buy your book.
  • abbythriving
    Fantastic advice!
    Love this podcast! Molly is an excellent interviewer and offers tons of great advice and information.
  • FORMER SPOX
    Must listen!
    Molly provides a wealth of experience and expertise in her tips and podcasts. She is cutting edge and timely with insightful instincts, topics and wisdom. All may benefit from Molly’s podcasts - especially communication professionals.

    The Real Deal
    I’ve come to know Molly through her workshops and seminars. I have learned from her at in-person events, through webinars, and this podcast. My work has improved substantially because of her. She is the real deal when it comes to managing critical communications. When things go wrong for business, the clock is not your friend. That is, unless, you follow the strategies that Molly lays out so clearly. Then, you are able to take sensible swift action with confidence. What more can a communicator ask for?
  • Mary Beth West
    A PR Tower of Wisdom!
    Love Molly’s podcast in both style and substance. She is emblematic of what every public relations leader should hope to be: completely in command of her subject matter and bold / brave in the way she conveys her wisdom ... A regular must-listen on my list of favorite podcasts!
  • Kopfjager

  • adoringlyalice
    Wonderful podcast!
    Molly is who I want to be when I grow up. :) Every episode I learn something new in order to be a better communicator. I love how she integrates current events with effective communicating whether it was done correctly or a horrible flop.
  • Hundredhot
    Much-needed, super interesting and educating
    I've listened to a few episodes of Molly McPherson's show and already I learned a bunch of great stuff. What's more, I'm happy with what I learned while listening to the episode on how to speak to/treat waitstaff. Happy because I constantly thank waiters and waitresses and I even apologize if I make them come back because I forgot to order something and that's exactly how you should talk to and treat restaurant servers according to Molly! Because they are people, too and you should respect them at all times! That being said, this is a much-needed, super interesting and educating podcast! Not just for the business part of our lives but for the rest, as well. So thank you Molly for putting this show up!

    Such great content on the different ways we communicate, how social media impacts you, your client and your image. And how the generations perceive your message. Nuggets of gold every week.

    Communication is key... & Molly knows a thing or two about it!
    Always enjoying hearing what Molly brings to the table! Every episode of the podcast brings to light new tools and tricks I can use for communicating in my professional career. I love that each episode is completely different from the last far as topics, but they all have me walking away knowing I learned something new today.
  • JF0000T
    Excellent

  • Paige Pen
    Such good points!
    Molly brings up some interesting information and makes some very good points! It bugs me when I notice myself using filler words, and now thanks to Molly I may work a little harder to get rid of them.

    Interesting podcast describing how different generations communicate. It was something I never considered before but makes great sense. Looking forward to the next episodes.
  • Mamaluisa
    Excellent information!
    Molly presents the information clearly and with kindness. This podcast will make you think about how you communicate both verbally and in writing. I especially enjoy the tips and hints on specific word patterns and word choices that we make and what they mean. There’s a lot of food for thought here! Great job!
  • Azul From San Diego
    Powerhouse! Tools for communication podcast
    I am so excited that Molly has launched her podcast. She nailed the “tells” of communication and helps give clarity to what effective communication is and how to do it better. I love the style of her show, simple, actionable and practical. Well done podcast, I’ll keep listening!
