On Episode 17 of The Carousel pod, I’m joined by most-interesting-woman-in-advertising Åsk Dabitch Wäppling to chat about ad-world contrarianism.

Åsk is founder and publisher of Adland, current CTO of Brown and Red studio, and former art director at Saatchi, BBDO, and Publicis. She presents a fearless independent perspective on our occupied industry and other issues. She is for example an outspoken TERF, although the label doesn’t necessarily fit.

Topics include:

* Stalkers and Faraday cage purses.

* Being banned from awards juries for speaking out against chemically castrating children and womanhood erasure.

* Her own terrifying experiences with Lupron.

* The right’s terrible design prowess, Mike Ma as a glimmer of hope.

* Being a woman on Twitter.

* Rare good current campaigns like this Dole/St Luke “Malnutrition Labels: Nutritional Ink” and Postmates/Mother LA “When all you can food is think about…”
