You’re fired! Everton and political PR

David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss the sacking of OpenAI’s Sam Altman, the crisis at Everton football club and the world of schmoozing that is political PR.

After a week in which some top people in British politics have lost or given up their jobs, David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss the strange case of OpenAI’s Sam Altman, the artificial intelligence superstar whose overnight ousting – and very quick re-employment – sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley.

Everton Football Club in crisis – how do you utilise PR in the emotional cauldron that is the Premier League?

And we take you into the world of schmoozing that is political PR – it’s the return of the Prawn Cocktail Offensive.

This episode was recorded before Sam Altman's surprise return to OpenAI as CEO with a new board.
