We are America's Favorite PR team. This week, we discuss the roll-out of self-driving cars and ways in which they can cultivate trust with the consumer. This brings us to the question, "To robot, or NOT to robot?" - and we look at Etsy's recent communications push towards "Keep Commerce Human." We get it, and we have some questions. Next, McDonald's has been in the press this week, and it's safe to bet...they aren't Lovin' It (oop!). We look at their negative news cycle and internal communications statements and forge a path for them. Lastly, Diddy's children put out a joint PR statement. We take a close look and reveal the larger strategy at hand.

This is We're Still Spinning, a news-based show hosted by America's Favorite PR team. News about the tragic passing of Liam Payne broke shortly before we hit record for this episode, and we talk about TMZ's coverage in real time. Next, Ari Lennox announced her plans to leave social media permanently to focus on her personal growth and maturity. We look at her statement and discuss the implications for her career and the broader industry. Next, Bath & Body Works recently released and recalled a "Snowed In" candle that Reddit deemed a "Klandle" - for its uncanny resemblance to a traditional Ku Klux Klan white robe. We look at the PR statement around this recall and pitch our version of crisis comms. Lastly, Disneyland & Disney World raised its prices 3x in 18 months and just now launched a new add-on. For approximately $400 on top of the cost of admission ($225), you can skip the lines. What would Walt say?

A brief memo from your favorite PR team.
