| 7/1/26 |  Episode 136: KISS, The Bicentennial and the Year 1976 (Classic) | In honor of the nation’s 250th birthday, we’re revisiting one of our classic episodes. Why 1976? Plenty of reasons. We discuss each of our ages in this, the banner year our nation was turning 200 and everything in sight had bunting and was painted red, white and blue. KISS was at the height of their powers as Michael Doret’s amazing album art from “Rock and Roll Over” was gracing turntables from coast to coast and the timeless bicentennial star logo from designer Bruce Blackburn was on everything from postage stamps to NASA equipment. And last but not least, Richard Nixon enters the conversation (but not the bar). - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: Bicentennial Logo KISS Rock and Roll Over - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-136-1976-classic - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?

| 6/17/26 |  Episode 135: Cult Products - TaB Soda and McDonald's Fried Apple Pie | Today we’re digging around in the backs of our minds and the pits of our stomachs to remember a couple of beloved food products. Ones that have cult followings and large groups of people who lament these products’ eventual demise. We’re talking about the origins of TaB Soda from Coke and the fried Apple Pie from McDonald’s. (Hey, we never said this was a health food podcast…) So ask the bartender to mix a Texas Tab for you – and maybe a couple for us. We’re hitting the drive thru and then rolling back into the bar. - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: TaB Soda McDonald's Fried Apple Pie - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-135-cult-products - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?

We talk about how while critics threw shade his way, Rockwell created what is arguably the most iconic Thanksgiving image of all time, parodied and remixed over the years. So mix up a couple of vodka and cranberries and serve them up in a gravy boat. It's time to join us as we give thanks to be with you, our listeners, back here in the bar. - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: Norman Rockwell Four Freedoms Freedom From Want - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?

| 11/12/25 |  Episode 120: Politicians, Superheroes and Stars - Noteworthy Magazine Covers | Magazines. They’re still big business, but today’s magazines are a pale imitation of what they once were. And being on a magazine cover meant that you hit the big-time. Sometimes that was amazing, other times not so much. Today we’re discussing some iconic covers that made statements from the shelves of newsstands and delivered surprises to unsuspecting mailboxes. John Lennon, Demi Moore, Richard Nixon, New York City, Apple and Batman have all made the cut. So ask your bartender for a round of Boulevardiers and make sure all your subscriptions are up-to-date.

| 10/29/25 |  Episode 119: Scary Good Posters - The Thing and Creature from the Black Lagoon | Since it’s still October, we’re continuing with the second of our two Horror Month episodes here in the bar. If you didn’t get enough shock and terror from our last episode, you just weren't listening closely...Come to think of it, that could be said about any of our episodes. Today we’re discussing a couple of amazing horror movie posters for The Thing and Creature from the Black Lagoon. The stories that inspired them, the artists who created them (Reynold Brown and Drew Struzan) and what makes these posters great. So order a round of Black Magic Margaritas for everyone. We’re dimming the lights and lighting some candles back here in the bar. - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: The Thing Creature from the Black Lagoon - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-119-scary-good-posters - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?

| 10/15/25 |  Episode 118: Monster Sponsors - Gritty from Philly and Monster Cereals from General Mills | Since it’s October, we’re gonna jump into the next two episodes with Horror Month here in the bar. Horror? Sure, regular listeners will wonder why this month is somehow different from any other, but don’t worry. The quality is still the same, only this time we’re talking about some characters created for the amusement of both the young and the young-at-heart. We’re talking about the origin stories of Monster Cereals from General Mills and the mascot Gritty from the ice in Philly. So order a couple of Corpse Revivers. We’re moaning and groaning as we shake off the cobwebs back here in the bar. - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: Monster Cereals from General Mills Gritty - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-118-monster-sponsors - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?

| 10/1/25 |  Episode 117: The Batmobile and the DeLorean - Iconic Pop Culture Cars | While we don't recommend drinking and driving, we do recommend talking pop culture and cars while sitting safe and sound on a couple of bar stools. Buckle up as we travel back in time to discuss what are arguably the two most popular cars in pop culture: the original 1960s Batmobile and the DeLorean from Back to the Future. Sometimes they worked, oftentimes they didn't. If you smell some burning rubber, it's not from us thinking—at least not this week. Instead, it's a high-octane topic coupled with some Golden Cadillacs from our bartender. Enjoy. - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: The Original Batmobile The DeLorean DMC-12 - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-117-iconic-pop-culture-cars - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?

| 9/17/25 |  Episode 116: Cat Posters with Paul Hennessey (Classic) | We’re taking a short break. In the meantime, grab a drink and kick back with one of our classic episodes. Cats. You may love ‘em, hate ‘em or feel indifferent, but there’s no escaping their power, especially if you spend any time online. Cats have a long history in the world of advertising. In this classic episode we invited friend and poster expert Paul Hennessey back into the bar to discuss the appeal of cat posters aesthetically and financially, discuss a few of our favorites and decode why their traits and quirks make them perfect for so many different types of products. - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-116-cat-posters-with-paul-hennessey-classic - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: Paul Hennessey, Grafix Gallery - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?

| 9/3/25 |  Episode 115: NBC, Netflix and Network Branding | When we say "TV network," what do you think of? When we say "TV network brand," what pops into your head? Is it a logo or a sound? Is it an animation or an app? Is it a signature show? Today we’re going to be talking about a couple of identities made for NBC and Netflix. We discuss the origin stories for both their visuals and their sounds. So add us to your queue.

| 8/20/25 |  Episode 114: The Fall and Rise (Again) of Tiki Culture | We’ve been exploring the Polynesian Pop trend that swept suburbia. From the 1930s to the ‘70s, tiki culture was everywhere. And then, like the tide going out, it was gone. Today we talk about the factors that brought it back in the late ‘90s and early 2000s (hint: swing, thrifting and SpongeBob) and how tiki is influencing artists today. Grab a Bahama Mama and join our conga line as we swing, sway and sashay back into the bar. - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-114-tiki-culture-part-3 - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: Tiki Culture SpongeBob Squarepants The Lowbrow Movement - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?

| 8/6/25 |  Episode 113: Embracing and Evolving the Tiki Style | Today, we're continuing our series on tiki culture as we look at how professional designers embraced and evolved the island aesthetic. Was it low brow? High brow? A symbol of exotic adventure? A goofy gimmick? Regardless, the movement left a deep imprint on graphic, interior, fashion, product, and architectural design, in applications ranging from kitsch to high-concept. We'll gonna figure out the price of some amazing tiki drinks, get some quarters sticky with pineapple juice and throw some exotica on the jukebox.

We’ll talk about the origins and influences — it’s not as simple as you think — and learn why this very Americanized look took off throughout the country and set sail across the globe.
