PR Operative Phil Elwood’s “All the Worst Humans: How I Made News for Dictators, Tycoons, and Politicians”

Host Diana Korte speaks with Phil Elwood, a man who used to pull the strings, and who is now pulling back the curtain in his DC tell-all book, ALL THE WORST HUMANS.

After nearly two decades in the Washington PR business, Elwood wants to come clean, by exposing the dark underbelly of the very industry that’s made him so successful. The first step is revealing exactly what he’s been up to for the past twenty years—and it isn’t pretty.

Elwood has worked for a murderer’s row of questionable clients, including Gaddafi, Assad, and the government of Qatar. In All the Worst Humans, Elwood unveils how the PR business works, and how the truth gets made, spun, and sold to the public—not shying away from the gritty details of his unlikely career.

Top authors are interviewed on this 10-minute program that captures their words about their books and ideas and often the story behind the story. The show, hosted by Diana Korte and engineered by Gene Korte, is in its 29th year of production.
