#120: Billie Eilish, Branded Podcasts, Convict Slang

Bang On

About this episode

Myf and Zan start their week with a story about dogs watching musicals, and go from there. A piece on how podcasts are pitching products has us thinking about the creative (and sometimes insidious) ways brands are selling. And a conversation between Pharrell Williams and Billie Eilish has us punching our fists in the air for the present. Meanwhile the 200th anniversary of a dictionary strikes a chord, and Myf is banging on about ponies (up there with Paddle Steamers). Oh and we fall into an ASMR tangent.
