Episode 37 - Mad For Ads (5/24/20)

Do you ever feel like you have a target on your back? A target for ads? Well we certainly do and we talk about it on this episode of our fun time podcast!

Starting off with Real Human Bing Search on targeted ads, we share the strangest ads we’ve ever been shown. Praise the Algorithm!

Next, we delve into the early 2000s music scene and pull out some surprisingly good hits with Playlist of Our Lives (2001-2004). And last but not least, our Picks of the Week.
