PR, March 13, 2026: a small room, big plans

MediumPR Committee 2 min readBy PR Committee (Karyn S, Rob P)
TL;DR: A two-person meeting - Karyn and Rob P - still moves the committee's work: Rob takes Reddit outreach (ten podcast links posted), learns Opus Clip and Riverside for shorts, and starts rewriting episode descriptions with searchable labels; Anne's thread carries archived [newsletters](/changelog-astro-public/changelog/newspaper/) and a possible quarterly cadence. The minutes' own header carries a typo - "13 March 20269" - recorded here honestly.

Source: the committee’s AI-scribed minutes, provided by Christopher W from the PR Google Doc while viewer approval is still pending. The source header reads “13 March 20269” [sic] and repeats itself once - kept honest here rather than smoothed over. Last names are initials, per PIR tradition.

Workload

The room is small; the plan is to keep the committee’s work moving without overloading anyone.

Reddit outreach

Rob takes the podcast to Reddit - ten links posted, with more to come.

Shorts and clips

Opus Clip and Riverside for shorts, rotated across YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Facebook; hashtags for reach.

Episode descriptions

Rob starts rewriting descriptions with searchable labels - “SSRI to Recovery” for Douglas’s episode.

Future seasons and guests

Guests - including potentially controversial figures - go through committee-level approval to keep alignment with the traditions. A 12-step episode is planned.

Website constraints

Storing newsletter content on the website strains the current setup - David L is overwhelmed, and the Canva-to-WordPress PDF path is not feasible - so a Brevo campaign carries the visibility instead.

Karyn’s thread

A conversation with Jess on solicitation and the traditions dialogue.
