Ad Wizards

Aviva and Land share the most unforgettable commercials from their childhood, and maybe yours too (If you happened to be a kid at exactly the same time as either of them, in the United States, in a similar target market, depending on the region). We talk about dolls that poop, dogs that poop puppies, a waterslide with a bump, tying a lemon to your ankle, and the very best thing of all, counters. And do we talk about the ty...

We've all had Miller Lite, and can agree that it's one of the most delicious hoppy nectars here on G-d's green earth. But what we can't agree on, is whether the best part about Miller Lite is if it tastes great, or if it's less filling. Both things are huge benefits about the drink, and it's almost impossible to decide. We also talk about Siskel & Ebert, Orson Welles, Rodney Dangerfield, aluminum siding, and our main m...

It's 4AM in 1998. You're in a sort of half-awake half-asleep state when Enigma's "Return To Innocence" starts playing from your TV. Why is this song playing? Why did you forget to turn off your TV? What "mood" does this CD represent exactly? We talk about this and other CD compilation commercials with the hilarious Kate Elston (Newsbroke, Vicious Cycle Podcast)!

This is an episode you don't want to avoid, because today on Ad Wizards we're talkin' The Noid. For those of you who don't know, The Noid is a "man" dressed as a rabbit who tries to ruin pizzas. Why does he do this? Is he okay? We ask these questions and more alongside our friend George Sukara and the voice of The Noid himself, Pons Maar! Other topics of discussion include The Hamburglar, Cookie Crook, and large infants.

You can have them in the morning, in the evening, and even at suppertime. But isn't suppertime in the evening? And what about lunch? In today's episode, Aviva and Land discuss the enduring legacy of Bagel Bites with son-of-a-jingle-man & comedian Mikey Walz. They also cover other topics such as the Boston PSA Chow Daddy, Tony Hawk, and Shamu.

Welcome to Ad Wizards, the podcast about commercials. For our inaugural episode, we discuss some of our favorite car commercials, including So-Cal icon Cal Worthington (and his dog Spot) as well as Mazda's Zoom Zoom campaign. We're joined by special guests Dan Sukara (who dressed up as Cal for Halloween) & Micah Kanters, the child (now adult) who whispered "Zoom Zoom" in the Mazda commercials.
