About the show

Welcome to Reputation Town — population: everyone with a reputation to lose.

Two comms pros, lots of opinions

Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable. Since 2021, long-time corporate communications pros John Perenack and Warren Weeks have riffed on issues and crisis management, media relations and all of the things that impact corporate reputations.

Every episode takes the week’s reputation headlines — the botched apologies, the viral missteps, the surprisingly deft saves — and breaks them down with a practitioner’s eye and a sense of humour.
