Quiet News Day – Podcast 64

Well hello there.

We at QND hope you are well and are ready for another podcast rammed full of news and discussion from the worlds of journalism, social media and PR.

The winning combination of Scott Douglas and Shaun Milne take to the pilot seats and Clare Carswell is strapped in as navigator.

This week we look at why the world’s tech giant, Google needs PR, developments regarding the funding of the Scottish Digital Network and why Apple should be ‘appy.

Our discussion section focuses on the sacking of Andy Gray from Sky following comments he made about a female lineswoman.

All of this is stored for you below.
