In this episode we're speaking with Flora Cowie who has moved to Bali for a new life working in PR and marketing. So, why did she move to Bali? What's it like living and working in a third world country? What's the best bit, the downsides? We explore these questions and much more, so stay with us.

Flora says: "Moving to Bali has been full of unexpected twists so far. When I first arrived, I had big dreams and high hopes, but quickly found myself facing a serious health setback that left me feeling completely unwell. It’s been tough, there’s no denying that. But, in the midst of the struggle, I've learned so much about resilience and the importance of patience."

Welcome to Series 1 Episode 19 of 'PR Matters - The Public Relations Podcast'.

This is our penultimate episode in Series 1 - The Broadcast And The PR. The second series is out in September and will be even better! Make sure you follow us so you don't miss out!

ALERT: There are sound issues on this podcast but the content is so fab - I had to publish!

Phil Caplin from London-based agency, Broadcast Revolution, gives us his insights into how to pitch to TV. He takes time out of his incredibly busy schedule to talk to PR Matters about how public relations professionals can successfully pitch their clients on to TV and radio. It's just a shame this rare interview doesn't meet the normal broadcast standards as Phil's sound is 'in and out'. Apologies for this.

If you're still eager to listen and this hasn't put you off, you'll learn how to use PR in television environments. What's the best way to get the attention of TV journalists? Is TV still relevant? What's the benefit of getting on to TV? How do you do it?
