Podcasts about commercials

Loved hanging out with Nathan Miller and Mark Danciger of the Nott Brothers - talking about what it really takes to make it as a director. We get into how they approach the business side of directing, how they work with clients and agencies, and why being clear and collaborative makes the whole process better.We also talk about how their style has evolved, what they've learned along the way, and how they keep things creative without losing sight of the job. If you're into directing, commercials, or just hearing how great creative partnerships really work, this one's for you. My Filmmaker Retreat has 3 spots left so save your spot now!

"Tammy and I have decided to retire from our jobs and also from creating the Rock School Radio show. I know this is the 744th show on PRX but it's actually our 997th show overall. We will do this show and three more, ending on our 1000th show. To that end, in this show we will announce some musicians who might be retiring soon themselves. We will list the oldest people touring this summer."

Grant and Will hit the trail to talk about the stuff that actually shapes a career: manners, mentorship, and knowing your own story.They break down the "two-minute commercial," a simple way to talk about yourself using Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, so you never sound like you're reciting a script. They also get into why small gestures (like holding a door) still say something about your character, how to network without it feeling fake, and why good leadership comes down to impact, not perfection.Plus: a quick exercise for shutting down imposter syndrome, and why love and honesty are the real foundation for leading, parenting, and earning trust.ConnectGrant WebsterWill Green

For this week's installment of our post-series compilation series, you're getting all of the commercials that ever aired on WRYAT. That's right, this super-sized super-cut finally guts the entirety of WRYAT's original programming, and all that remains is four and a half hours of pure, undiluted advertising. A show that consists of nothing but commercials was once thought to be but the fever dream of a mad man -- or many a mad man, if you will -- and thanks to WRYAT, every living thing on this planet can now experience that fever dream, buy each other drinks, and sing along in perfect harmony to the siren song of naked, shameless and invulnerable Capitalism at its most naked, shameless and invulnerable. Isn't that great? If you liked listening to all of these ads, you'll LOVE seeing about three of them re-enacted LIVE at WRYAT A-LIVE...AGAIN! only at Big Couch NOLA on August 13!

"I was talking about the Paul is Dead conspiracy theory in class one day and the students began asking me if I knew about THIS theory. And then THIS theory. We went on for 30 minutes and then I did some research. There were so many theories I had never heard of. Hopefully they are new to you as well. We have a long list."

An encore episode of Under The Influence.... one of our favourites.Last week, we talked about the best historic demonstration commercials of all time. This week, we feature some of the most recent.Like an air freshener commercial that tricked blindfolded people into thinking a filthy toilet smelled like flowers.And a stunt where an ad agency put $3 million dollars between the glass in a bus shelter, unguarded on the street - to demonstrate a point.We know you want to listen to all the ads in this show.

Graham Platner has suddenly canceled multiple campaign events across Maine and says he's taking time to reflect on his path forward. You need to see this before the July 13 deadline forces Democrats to make a big decision on their Senate candidate. This story is about more than one politician's troubles. Graham Platner is the Democrat trying to unseat Susan Collins in one of the most important Senate races of 2026. He's been leading in some polls, but new allegations of sexual assault from an ex-girlfriend have surfaced, on top of earlier claims from other former partners, old social media posts, and other baggage. Instead of facing voters at town halls in places like Augusta and Gorham, his schedule is suddenly clear. Meanwhile, big names in the Democratic Party like Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer are still fully behind him. For regular Americans watching the fight for Senate control, it's a reminder that character questions don't just go away because a party wants to flip a seat. The July 13 cutoff means Maine Democrats have to decide fast whether to keep Platner on the ballot or find a replacement. It raises real questions about what voters in Maine and across the country are being asked to accept in the name of political power. It's the kind of situation that makes you wonder how much the political class thinks regular folks will just look the other way when the stakes are this high for control of the Senate. Pat also covered: German fan left in tears after experiencing real American hospitality in Boston. Is Mitch McConnell still fit to serve? New concerns emerge. Evidence presented in Tyler Robinson's hearing for the Charlie Kirk assassination. Sunny Hostin keeps pushing fake information on "The View." Flashback: Jim Acosta once gushed about President Obama. Do you think Democrats will actually replace Graham Platner before the deadline passes?

Remember back when we did the Star Wars Holiday Special and were sad it didn't include the commercials? Well thanks to two lovely listeners who shared that we are bad at searching YouTube, we can now be completists and talk about the commercials? Was that a good idea?

"Back on May 31st Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson chided an audience for chanting USA. Much of the audience then walked out. I wondered if this had happened before and it certainly did.

Working actress Tommy Aleman has booked roughly 85 commercials, led an indie horror feature, and built a life of multiple income streams — and on this Get Scene Unscripted, host Jesse Malinowski digs into why gratitude beats entitlement on set, the wardrobe research most actors skip, and the "needy" energy casting directors can sense instantly. A real, funny, honest conversation about commercials, verticals, indie films, and surviving the working-actor grind in the Southeast film industry.

Well, it's time for part two (of three!) of our background information blast for Skies of Arcade. To become legends, we're detailing Skies of Arcadia's promotional media, finding a romantic and unreadable font, changing our reputation, kicking ass by the boatload, debating the pronunciation of "Valuan," riddling the skies with danger, adapting the story into manga, producing a $460 figurine, selling an elaborate music box, desiring a Skies of Arcadia candle, recruiting up to 22 crew members, censoring content for the ESRB, and begging you not to put this Dreamcast disc into your CD player.

"To say that I have great marketing savvy is ultimately an insult, because it undermines my power as an artist." — MadonnaIn this episode, we take a look at Madonna's long and fascinating history in commercials. Whether she's selling Pepsi, promoting luxury fashion, or simply selling the idea of Madonna herself, one thing is certain: nobody knows branding quite like the Material Girl.We're joined by Madonna fan, podcaster and copywriter TODD WERKHOVEN (Portland at the Movies & Mark and Toddcast) to break down the ads, the campaigns, and the moments when Madonna turned marketing into an art form.We also discuss her new song, the Times Square appearance, and CONFESSIONS II - THE FILM.

Pre-Order The Chief Storytelling Officer HERE: https://amzn.to/4eihvql"Commercials interrupt people. Shows invite them into the story world. That is the difference between traditional marketing and storytelling." — Rain BennettYour marketing campaign strategy is perfectly executed... and it still flops. The visuals are crisp, the copy is tight, and nobody cares. In this solo episode, Rain breaks down the real reason most marketing fails: it isn't a production problem, it's a storytelling problem. When your marketing isn't rooted in a clear brand purpose, it becomes what Rain calls "story yelling," which is loud, scattered, and ultimately forgettable. This is the fifth installment of the Narrative Operating System series, and it's where brand building and marketing strategy finally collide.Rain walks through how the Chief Storytelling Officer fits into your marketing function. Not to replace your CMO, but to ensure every campaign, every message, and every piece of content traces back to the brand narrative your company intentionally chose. The CSO's job isn't to ask "does this say what we want to say?" It's to ask "does this make people feel what we want them to feel?" That distinction is the entire difference between brand storytelling and traditional advertising.Using Yeti, Cali BBQ, and the Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation as case studies, Rain shows how the most effective marketing strategies aren't campaigns at all—they're story worlds. He introduces the Content Cascade model as a practical framework for building tent pole projects, supporting stories, and audience amplifiers from a single unified brand messaging strategy. And before you go, he breaks down which metrics actually reflect meaningful connection (watch time, saves, comments, shares) and which vanity metrics to stop reporting on entirely. If your brand purpose is clear but your marketing still feels scattered, this episode is your blueprint. In this episode, you will learn to:Understand the difference between story yelling and storytelling—and which one your brand is currently doingUse the Content Cascade model to build tent pole projects, supporting stories, and audience amplifiers from a single narrativeReplace vanity metrics with story metrics that actually measure connection and community growthAvoid the traps of trend chasing, channel hopping, and virality chasing that derail most marketing strategiesAudit your last 10 pieces of marketing to see if they stem from one unified brand narrative or exist as isolated piecesLINKS AND RESOURCESEpisodes Referenced:EP 225 → Brand: How It Feels to Be Part of Your Story WorldEP 230 → Product: Where Your Story Gets ProvenGuest Referenced → Sean Walcheff, Cali Barbecue Media → https://www.calibbq.mediaOrganization Referenced → Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation → https://www.ncf.net/Book → The Chief Storytelling Officer by Rain Bennett → Coming August 25th https://amzn.to/4eihvqlFor more storytelling tips and strategies, visitWebsite → https://rainbennett.comPodcast → https://thestorytellinglabpodcast.comOr follow along at:TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chiefstorytellingofficerTwitter/X → https://twitter.com/rainbennettInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/rainbennettFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/thestorytellinglabYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@RainBennett Hosted on Acast.

"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."

Another wide-ranging episodes, so stay until the end.

"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."
