Do Ads Pay? Eating Pets! And Unaffordable School Uniforms" – in this sharp-tongued episode of Mark & Pete, we slice through the pandemic of clickbait headlines to serve up something more meaty (figuratively, of course). We kick off with a wry take on advertising ROI, unpacking Trump's eyebrow-raising comments on Sydney Sweeney's Jaguar campaign—and whether ad-spend actually pays its keep, or just makes us look twice. The question: Do ads deliver, or do they just dazzle? Next, we jump—or perhaps skewer—into zoo ethics, debating Aalborg Zoo's call for pet donations to feed their predators—unsettling pragmatism or thoughtful sustainability? You'll simmer over moral fibre versus public outrage, long after the segment ends. Finally, we tackle school uniform affordability, focusing on the burden facing families under rising costs. Should grants, actual provision, or scrapping uniforms entirely be the remedy? .Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.
