The Signal is a weekly podcast for the people running communications at civic membership organizations, education associations, public sector unions, advocacy groups, and nonprofits fighting for public opinion in an information environment that moves faster than any press release can.

No fluff. No panels. No 90-minute runtimes. Just the signal, stripped of the noise. Izzy Torres is a communications director and the host of Rapid Signal. She specializes in narrative strategy, rapid response, and member communications for civic and workplace organizations, the organizations that can't afford to lose a news cycle and rarely get a second chance to set the frame.

Every episode she produces is verified, disclosed, and built on The Signal Lab's RAPID SIGNAL platform, the same infrastructure available to the organizations she covers. Rapid Signal is her show.
