  • #213: You've Been Duly Warned

    In this episode of the UnPodcast, it's our fourth of the day... things are going a little off the rails. But we still have some great stories. We talk about Chewy Pet Food and authentic marketing; Endy Mattresses going above and beyond; IKEA has created one of the greatest urine-based pieces of advertising ever; how 50 Cent became an accidental Bitcoin millionaire; why it's dangerous to make money off of looking like a Kardashian; and why Diet Coke is tweaking it's brand a little. Full disclosure: These stories will make you cringe, laugh, and even ugly cry... consider yourself warned.

  • #212: Cupatarians Unite!

    No single-serving episodes today! We talk about: Jersey insurance for fanatics; the amount of dough in a bread price-fixing scheme; white noise copyright violations; what happens when a blind study is not so blind; and why you should probably pay more attention to your privacy settings. All this, a made-up word, and Scott going wildly off the rails.

  • #211: Happy Valentine's Day-ish

    Happy Valentines/Singles Awareness Day from the UnPodcast! Today we talk, primarily, about that most traditional of romantic topics: Human Resources. We discuss why Texans can't play with Google's Fine Art App; how a makeup line tried to co-opt the #MeToo movement; how your job might be killing you; and what really makes a person quit a job? Is it a bad manager, a bad boss, a bad manager, a bad job, or a bad manager? All this, a made-up word, and absolutely no snow pants!

  • #204: We Do What We Want

We talk about popular emojis; how Facebook is really making messages better, but for real this time, they promise; how Google is helping to turn customers into advocates; Airlines pushing the creepiness envelope by using your personal information; and William Shatner being incredibly reasonable.
