ICYMI - How April Fool’s Day Keeps the Internet Conspiracy Machine Alive


Listen Later

April Fool’s Day is every brand’s favorite holiday. Social media and PR teams get to make all the jokes their marketing department can come up with and face few repercussions. But it’s not all fun and games.

Podcast production by Daniel Schroeder.
