Description

A podcast from the language strategists at maslansky + partners. CEO Michael Maslansky and guests analyze messaging, from message strategy to message framing, talking about what worked, what didn't… and why. We provide lessons in effective communications, to help make sense of the world around us through the lens of language. From business to politics to culture and life, remember: it's not what you say, it's what they hear… which is why we call this podcast, HearSay.
