I'm not a PR person, so does this mean that someone has to listen to the podcast and write down what the "sentiments" were?

If possible you’d use a media monitoring service that would summarize it for you, but things like podcasts and YouTube are trickier to monitor so someone would have to listen and then perhaps categorize the sentiment as “positive” “negative” or “neutral”.

If the author/publisher uses a PR agent they may ask questions like “why the fuck did you send it to those guys?” Or they may have an “any publicity is good publicity” approach.

I wonder if they've hurt the sales of any of the books they've covered? I can't imagine them putting a dent into the sales of older books like The Rules, or mega bestsellers like The Secret.
