S5E20 - Radio Still Makes Waves

APOSTROPHE PODCAST NETWORK
About this episode

This week, we take a trip to five different countries to listen to some astonishing radio advertising. From a theatre company in Switzerland that sponsored the traffic in a whole new way, to a radio campaign that tried to bore you to sleep, to an amazing radio ad that asks you to donate your voice to help other people - all of these amazing campaigns are turning radio on its ear.


We know you want to listen to all the ads in this show. On the off-chance you don’t, subscribe ad-free here.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
