		<description>I'm Janet Gericke, a podcaster, communications professional, thespian, avid reader, and sometimes crafter. 
This podcast features various series, including INSPIRE, which offers insights into people who inspire me. It also provides answers to questions relevant to the PR communications industry, as featured in INSIDE PR. Additional series will be added as conversations evolve and expand.

With INSPIRE, I will bring you exclusive conversations with women who are making their mark in the world. My guests will share their unique stories, experiences, and perspectives, offering valuable insights into their journeys and the lessons they have learned along the way. 
INSIDE PR is a Q&amp;A series for the PR industry, where I ask industry professionals questions, guide interns, and provide reminders to account directors.
