About this episode

The episode explores the life and impact of Jerry Goodis on Canadian advertising.

And while doing that, he attacked the ad industry for producing terrible ads. He was loved and hated but couldn’t be ignored.   Another favourite from our Archives.   We know you want to listen to all the ads in this show.
