About this episode
The research team at Under The Influence does a lot of reading over the year, and finds a lot of great stories - many of which don’t fit into our regular episodes. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be told!
This week, we’ll tell the story of how Stephen King’s wife fished a story out of the wastepaper basket that changed their lives, how Engelbert Humperdinck’s manager tricked his record company into signing him, how Rocket Richard taught an enforcer a lesson, and we’ll tell an emotional story about one of the most memorable scenes from M*A*S*H. Then, we’ll extract the marketing lessons from each of those incredible tales.
