Introducing 'Attention Shift' -- A Podcast About Where Comms is Going
With Hosts Allison Braley and Sean Garrett
Since you read this blog, you know very well that the role of the communicator is shifting by the day. And so is the attention of the many different audiences that these communicators are trying to reach.
The Mixing Board produced podcast Attention Shift launches today and digs into the trends and people driving this comms shape shifting. (Spotify / Apple)
On the pod, we will push a definition of “communications” that is abundant, messy, and bridges many of different ways of telling stories, influencing action and building/protecting reputations. We will talk about how this includes the full scope of communication in and by organizations, how one person presents themselves to another, and, invariably, the role of AI.
If you somehow have missed her excellent LinkedIn content, Attention Shift co-host Allison Braley is smart, funny, wise and quick to see emerging trends.
I am also on the podcast.
Today’s launch brings us three excellent conversations. Find them on Spotify or Apple.
Cody Keenan (Spotify, Apple). President Obama’s longtime chief speechwriter, bestselling author, Fenway Strategies partner, and super-popular Northwestern Visiting Professor.
Ashley Mayer (Spotify, Apple). General Partner at Coalition Operators, former comms leader at Box and Glossier, podcaster and, all-around sage comms voice.
Kevin Roose (Spotify, Apple). NYT reporter with a focus on technology’s impact on culture and society, host of the podcast “Hard Fork” and best selling author.
After the initial three, we’ll have a new episode (hopefully) every two weeks for our 12-episode run.
If you like the pod, you can help make conversation about smart, modern communications reach more people (including the people who pay for comms work).

This season couldn’t happen without the support from our sponsors Delve and MikeWorldWide. Delve is a new, dedicated comms product that serves as a context engine for emerging trends. We are using it on the podcast to better understand the patterns behind the noise. Check them out. It’s very cool. Allison loved her time at MWW early in her career and has always been a big fan of the large, independent agency since. They offer a unique mix of PR, digital, and AI-driven strategy.
We also thank Mixing Board’s parent company Axios HQ for their support.
Thank you, and I hope we keep your attention!
