Each week through Labor Day, we'll be pulling an OTM gem from our vast archives for you to enjoy on the beach, in a park... or on a sticky subway, while imagining you're on a beach.

For the sixth episode of our summer listening series, we take a deep dive into the world of television pitchmen and the fine art of the infomercial. All we can say here is, you won't believe it does that. 

To hear more of our summer listening, don't forget to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes, or wherever you get your podcasts, and leave a review while you're there! And as always, follow us on twitter @OnTheMedia.
