INDIANAPOLIS - ColoradoDesk -- In an era where corporate reputations shift overnight and stakeholder trust is earned or lost- one conversation at a time, Communication Breakdown is emerging as a vital resource for the people behind the message. And now, it enters its next phase of growth with AdvoCast as its official production and media strategy partner.

Produced by AdvoCast and hosted by two of the industry's most respected voices—Steve Dowling, former VP of Communications at Apple and OpenAI, and Dr. Craig Carroll, founder of the Observatory on Corporate Reputation—the podcast offers a rare, behind-the-scenes view into how organizations navigate moments of crisis, change, and cultural pressure.

Now celebrating its 43rd episode, Communication Breakdown has quickly built a reputation as the "postgame show for PR pros." Each episode unpacks real-world communications moments—from brand missteps to CEO controversies—with clarity, context, and insight. Dowling brings two decades of hard-earned executive perspective, while Carroll offers data-informed analysis from years of reputation research. Together, they decode the high-stakes decisions that define what a brand stands for—and how that story gets told.
