About this episode

This episode explores the history and impact of sandwich board advertising in urban settings.

From the Under The Influence Archives, one of our favourites.... Take a walk down any busy main street, and you’ll probably see one of the oldest forms of advertising:   The sandwich board.   They have been around for over 200 years.   Cities try and ban them. Storekeepers love them.   They can make you smile. They can make you angry. They can attract a lot of attention.   They are the pop-up ads of the physical world.   We know you want to listen to all the ads in this show. On the off-chance you  don’t ,  subscribe ad-free here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
