  Inside the Changing Airline Industry: Sean Cudahy on Air Travel, Loyalty and What’s Next at The Points Guy

  Sep 17, 202626 minS6

  Send us Fan Mail Airline travel looks simple until you try to book it. One minute you’re comparing fares, the next you’re decoding basic economy rules, credit card perks and award prices that change overnight. We talk with Sean Cudahy, senior aviation reporter at The Points Guy, to explain what’s really driving the airline industry right now and how travelers can protect their wallets and their points. We dig into the race to “go premium” and why demand for premium economy and business class keeps shaping cabin layouts across major airlines and even budget carriers. Sean breaks down how loyalty programs and co-branded credit cards influence everything from earning rates to discounted award pricing, creating a world where two people on the same flight can get very different value. We also get honest about devaluations, dynamic pricing and why miles and points generally don’t become more valuable with time. Then we look ahead at the technology and routes reshaping how we fly, including the Airbus A321XLR and the new nonstop possibilities it unlocks between smaller US cities and Europe. If you love practical travel tips, we cover how Sean searches for deals, why booking direct can matter, and which tools can help uncover award space, including checking partner programs. For PR and communications pros, Sean shares what makes a pitch useful, timely and tailored.

  Beyond the Pretty Pictures: Michelle Mastro on the Stories Behind Homes, Design and How We Live

  Aug 20, 202626 minS6

  Send us Fan Mail A gorgeous home can still be a bad story, and a “normal” house can be unforgettable if you know what to look for. We sit down with freelance home, culture, travel and lifestyle writer Michelle Mastro, whose bylines span Architectural Digest, Dwell, Bloomberg, Smithsonian and National Geographic, to talk about what actually gets a home tour or design feature over the finish line with editors and readers. We get practical fast: what catches her eye in a pitch, why photos are non-negotiable, how “sterile” images can kill interest and what “lived-in” really means in editorial terms. Michelle explains how she hunts for the hook behind the visuals, from the way a family gathers in a space to the unusual choices that make a home distinct. We also unpack the realities of budgets and image rights, plus how PR professionals, designers, architects and builders can make pitching feel less like shouting into a black hole. Then we zoom out into the bigger ideas that make lifestyle journalism matter. Michelle shares which design trends she’s loving, why she’s over generational labels like “Millennial Gray” and what Victorian homes still teach us about comfort, identity and the concept of home itself. We connect design to travel and culture, including why the Midwest deserves more attention as an architecture destination. The conversation turns personal as Michelle reflects on loss, motherhood, and the questions that keep pulling her back to domestic spaces. If you work in PR, design or media, you’ll leave with clearer pitching instincts and a sharper sense of what editors want right now.

  Beyond the Headlines: Bloomberg's Jennifer Zabasajja on Covering Business, Innovation and Africa's Future

  Aug 6, 202630 minS6

  Send us Fan Mail If “Africa” still sounds like a single storyline in your news feed, this conversation will challenge that fast. We’re joined by Jennifer Zabasaja, Chief Africa anchor and correspondent for Bloomberg Television, who reports from Cape Town on the people, companies, markets and innovations shaping one of the world’s most dynamic regions. She breaks down what it means to cover business across 54 countries, and why getting the nuance right is not optional if you care about global markets, emerging markets and where growth is heading next. We talk about Jennifer’s path from a love of storytelling to broadcast journalism, then into major newsrooms and finally Bloomberg, where speed and clarity matter. Along the way, she shares how she chooses stories, how travel and local relationships sharpen her reporting, and what surprised her in places many audiences rarely hear about beyond headlines. You’ll also hear how Bloomberg’s Next Africa brand works across a TV show, a weekly podcast and a newsletter to unpack big themes with facts and data, from AI and the future workforce to data centers, power constraints and the way sports, politics and the economy collide. For listeners in public relations and media, Jennifer offers direct guidance on what helps a journalist most: don’t just send a name, send the story and the reason it matters now. We also dig into the bigger forces she’s watching, including private capital flows, growing intra-African trade and finance, the shift from aid to trade and how changing US and global dynamics are pushing more countries toward self-sufficiency and new partnerships. If you value smart international journalism and practical media insight, subscribe, share this conversation with a colleague, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

  Deep Travel, Better Stories: Award-Winning Travel Journalist Judith Fein on Transformative Travel

  Jul 23, 202632 minS6

  Send us Fan Mail Travel has quietly turned into a consumer product: a checklist, a status symbol and an endless hunt for the “best” hotel deal. That shift is exactly what award-winning travel journalist and author Judith Fein pushes back on, and our conversation left me rethinking what I even want from a trip, whether it’s across the ocean or across town. Judith shares her surprising path from Hollywood screenwriting to public radio and then into travel journalism for more than 130 publications. We talk about traveling and reporting alongside her husband, photographer and writer Paul Ross, plus the emotional pull of heritage travel and why walking the land your ancestors came from can feel like meeting yourself again. From there, we get into the heart of her work: deep travel and transformative travel that changes how you see people, culture and your own life. We also unpack “slow travel” in a way that actually works for real schedules. Judith argues it’s not about taking more time off, it’s about being present, staying curious and letting experiences unfold without needing to control every moment. For travel PR professionals and tourism boards, she offers grounded advice on creating itineraries and storytelling that speak to the spirit, not just “heads in beds,” and how authentic experiences can drive better engagement and bookings. If you’ve felt burnt out by travel planning, bored by cookie-cutter destination marketing or hungry for more meaningful travel, this one is for you.
