AdVerve - Episode 16 - Life After Social Media Snake Oil


To parasteal from Bono, Joseph Jaffe stole the :30 spot — we’re stealin’ it back.

It’s been almost five years since he pissed off people in Ad Land™ talking about Life After The :30 Spot; we look back to see what still holds up.

Supporting that theme is this idea of the social-media-as-snake-oil bias still prevalent in advertising circles.…

Ben Kunz on Apple's Potential for Saving Publishing: Now in Technicolor™!





Ben Kunz, who did the Five Minutes With... segment for our "Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms" episode, turned his cameo into a visual manifesto with witty subtitles and music saturated in foreboding.

What we like about Ben is his special way of looking at hype from a critical perspective -- not just to be a contrarian, but because he…

AdVerve - Episode 14 - Music madness

AdVerve - Episode 13 - Bloggers suck



It’s harder for us to title these things anymore since we go off in so many different directions in each show now. The timestamp breakdown gives you a semblance of what we covered.

AdVerve - Episode 12 - End of Yearness

It’s our end of year madness. While it may be a little pretentious of us to run a year-end episode after only 12 episodes, eh, so what. Some of what makes it into this one are things we never got to cover during previous episodes but which we proudly beat the hell out of now.
