What happens when a sausage company had to do damage control? We get to the meat of the issue of Public Relations and how it overlaps the business of Advertising and Marketing. We also touch on race in movies, such as Richard Pryor in the Toy and Dan Aykroyd in "blackface" in Trading Places. I put on my worst Jamaican accent and Jarrod waxes philosophically about the political situation in the country. We're not political, but it does impact on working in the industry. All this and working in Woodbrook in MadAvenue in this week's episode of But That's Not Important Right Now.

In the essay "Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young" by Mary Schmich, immortalised in the the Baz Luhrmann song "Wear Sunscreen" She likens Advice as ". . . a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts And recycling it for more than it's worth." Well our advice to writers and admen and producers of content is, go easy on the Nostalgia-baiting! Using Nostalgia as a sales technique becomes old very quickly. Do you remember "Green Sands"? Sure, where is it now? All this and more, including 100 years of Crix and 100 years of Angostura Aromatic Bitters in this week's episode of But That's Not Important Right Now. A Podcast on Advertising!

I'm suffering from the Non-Rona flu and Jarrod wasn't feeling like showing his radio face, so this episode we talk a little bit more about working the advertising industry and what happens when you get older. It's a follow on from our last episode as we read some of the comments that you, our loyal listeners have left on YouTube and various other places. In between, my roommate for the evening, my son Devan, chimes in with some sage younger person advice for us old fogeys. It's a short episode, but we have some fun with meds and stories from the world of ads. Thanks for listening and if you like it give it a share and like and all of those lovely things and help support us.
