"When Executive Producer Jon Missall of VoiceAmerica approached me to do this show, he originally wanted me to talk about my PR track record. But I was much more fascinated with talking to other publicists whom I rarely get a chance to interact with," says host Maureen Kedes, "I knew that if I could get my PR colleagues to 'break that 4th wall' and talk openly about their campaigns, then I was on to something groundbreaking. Awareness of the PR machine that runs our media is widespread. Everyone knows we exist and understands a bit of what we do. But how cool to have the guests on who make it all happen. I am most proud of my powerhouse guest list and my amazing sponsor, Cision (http://www.us.cision.com) who dove in and took a risk on something new."

PR Insider will feature global leaders in PR, media, and all kinds of promotions to share stories, anecdotes and "how to" and "how NOT to" strategies from their high visibility campaigns of the past and present. The premiere episode, Media Circus will feature guests Rita Cosby a triple Emmy Award winning journalist, best selling author, and Special Correspondent for Inside Edition, the nationally syndicated CBS show, and Fraser P. Seitel, author of The Practice of Public Relations in its 10th edition, Adjunct Professor of PR at NYU, columnist at Odwyerpr.com, and Managing Partner of Emerald Partners Public Relations PR. Mr. Seitel was the representative for Brooke Astor's grandson, the Rockefeller family (during the recent imposter kidnapping), and Dr. Mel Levine during his sex scandal. Mr. Fraser Seitel and Rita Cosby along with host Maureen Kedes, will take a look at the relationship between reporters, producers, anchors, hosts, journalists and the publicists when the story is big.

Selling Sexual Harassment, another installment, features PR representatives for Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and Monica Lewinsky, in a discussion of how to make your client shine when the going gets rough. Other shows will feature leading publicists who represent sports stars, major corporations, politicians, or are viral marketing whizzes themselves.

Other topics discussed will include: damage control, tricks-of-the-trade, tips for successful PR campaigns, D-I-Y techniques, behind-the-scenes tips for corporate spokespeople and public speaking, "piggy backing" corporate messages on to bigger media stories, creating buzz, fueling and maintaining the media circus, integrating a company's promotional department with their PR department. The show will take callers and email questions and have give-aways.

Karma's Helpers is a New Book Meant for the Tea Party Movements: Insider Information- How to investigate and Expose Fraud

Austin, TX (PRWEB) August 24, 2010

We live in a complicated world where people do bad things to others for no explainable reason. Robb Hamic is the author and his experience as a sheriff's deputy, white-collar crimes detective, private investigator, personal and corporate intelligence specialist have given him a unique view into the way people treat each other. Robb's own life experiences have given him a unique view on society and some of his really negative experiences have lead Robb to think, "I wish I could speed up Karma" on a particular person, company or organization." Robb has met many people in life who have also been wronged for reasons such as: corrupt politician, bad government policy, inadequate governmental oversight, fraud, theft of public funds, improper fundraising, cheating spouse, bad relationship, bad business partners, embezzlement, theft, bad business competitor, sexual deviant, personal enemy, protective parent, etc. While people don't readily admit it, most of us believe or hope for Karma to come around.

That is where KARMA'S Helpers? come in. Robb has developed a peculiar playbook that can be used by anyone to evaluate a person in question, perform a detailed analysis of their problems and weaknesses, undertake a plan of action to expose their issues, make their problems evident to them (and everyone else), cause them problems and ...speed our little friend KARMA along.

Robb provides a unique perspective because he has used the techniques detailed in this book many, many times for various reasons. He has had unparalleled results and put some really bad people out of commission. Maybe you are reading this book out of curiosity or you may be one of Karma's Helpers. This book contains actual stories about getting even that are strange and unusual.

The Tea Party movement is an American socio-political movement that emerged in 2009 through a series of locally and nationally coordinated protests. The protests were partially in response to several Federal laws: the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,Federal Reserve Transparency Act and a series of health care reform bills.

There are several organizations working for the some of the same objectives for our country and the United States government: Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.

"I wrote this book with the Tea Party movements in mind. I believe that every citizen has the right and responsibility to verify politician's statements; and hold them accountable for their actions, choices and decisions," says veteran private investigator Robb Hamic. "Most people believe that investigation is hard and have a hard time getting their information published in a meaningful way on the Internet. Unless you have many years of experience it would be hard to get the job done to its fullest potential," he says.

Robb Hamic has many years of unique experience exposing people, corporations, politicians, state or governmental agencies and his efforts have led to many arrests, investigations, law/ regulatory changes and countless hours or news coverage on issues that he pursued. "What if you had the ability to work a case like a professional and present it to whomever to achieve a huge result? What if the truth could be clear?" This is a question that Hamic poses upon his potential readers. "I have done this work too many times and I have achieved innumerable success with my projects. He explains, "you can expose people in your own name or anonymously."

Karma's Helpers? was recently released and just in time for the mid-term elections. It is available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble or through its website. In addition, Mr. Hamic is available for consultation or for a service that he calls "creating Karma" for clients who want his professional services. Contact Robb Hamic by e-mail or by his private telephone number. He is available for media inquiries and has live radio, television interview experience.

Robb Hamic?, CLET, CPOI - is a licensed Private Investigator who specializes in personal and corporate intelligence, privacy issues, surveillance, hidden asset location, domestic investigations, personal protection and marital infidelity investigations. He can find anyone anywhere and find all of his or her hidden secrets. For the past two years, he could be considered a "semi-professional blogger", in addition to his other professions. He has personally exposed many individuals/ entities who have later had to face criminal charges, tax fraud crimes, civil litigation, hidden asset recovery, news stories, public exposure to past actions and other repercussions for their actions.

Robb founded and built a successful private investigation, security and self-defense business that has employed up to one hundred full-time employees. He is a personal protection specialist and combines his skills as a self-defense trainer and security expert to protect people.

Robb is a former Sheriff's Deputy and Detective in Albuquerque New Mexico, who specialized in white-collar crimes, financial crimes and street crimes. He has undertaken many investigations to uncover what others have tried to hide. Law enforcement exposed him to the worst and sometimes best of human nature and behavior. He is proud to be an Army Veteran enlisted at age seventeen.

He publishes five nationally syndicated blogs and has been featured in several news publications, radio and television interviews. He has personal experience with being ripped off and has on occasion, had adversaries who had a story to tell (whether they knew it or not). These people led him to become one of Karma's Helpers?. He saw a trend starting in 2006 where a majority of his investigation clients came to him with some sort of problem involving deception that had a common theme: the clients wanted to expose the person who did them harm in one way or another. Robb himself was a victim of theft, embezzlement and general unethical business practices by people he thought he could trust. He initially created a "playbook" to expose their wrongs. He soon learned that many others had suffered his fate and needed help to stabilize their lives, get a plan together and get even. These same methods have worked time and time again.

Robb is a self-defense instructor, law enforcement and military trainer. He is a national-level instructor and travels internationally teaching Israeli Krav Maga, self-defense developed especially for women, corporate security and executive protection skills. His specialties are gun deployment and Israeli Combat Shooting? for stressful violent encounters. He is currently publishing a series of personal protection and corporate security DVD's. He is available locally, nationally and internationally for seminar or training opportunities.
