Ads are everywhere in our life and they seem to keep creeping into more and more places. Movies, games, sponsored \u201cnews\u201d content, and of course, the digital tracking that follows your every online move to sell you something you\u2019ve already bought. (You know, you can never have enough washing machines.)
For eighteen years, Terry O\u2019Reilly has been studying and explaining human nature through the lens of advertising. His first show, called O'Reilly on Advertising, started on CBC in 2005 followed by The Age of Persuasion in 2006, and since 2011 it continues as both radio show and podcast, by the name Under the Influence, on his own network, Apostrophe.
Jesse sits down to talk with Terry about all things advertising, podcasting, and why some people want to touch their favourite radio show hosts.
