About this episode
It’s the busiest season of the year for advertisers and retailers. That means a lot of commercials, which is something we know a little something about in Chicago. Join us as we revisit a conversation from earlier this year with Axios reporter Justin Kaufmann about some of our city’s most legendary commercials, jingles, and characters that have enticed us to buy stuff.
