Ad Dads episodes

  • 25.7 Nursery rhymes and winter swims

    A long time coming, this episode brings the godfather of AUT AdSchool, Mr Paul White, back into the dungeon of AUT. He taught the three of us most of what we know and regales us with stories of how the course came about, what has changed over the years and how he spends his time now he's no longer inspiring the youth on a daily basis.
