Departing and arriving? In this 103rd episode of the best podcast on advertising ever, we discuss places we don’t want to ever work again. Along the way, we also take our requisite number of lefts without signaling. Time to board people.

A look at why we wrote a book. The reasons are many, and this episode explains all. Was it everything we expected and more? Well, you’ll just have to listen and find out.

MISS US? Well, listen you some and find out why. We’v been busy putting thoughts into words on pages. In this episode we’ll talk about the process behind our upcoming book and why taking a year out of your life to do something new can be good for you. It can be, right? WE THINK SO.

Six long years in the making have led us to this magical 100th moment. Since Bono wasn’t available we decided to pool our collective LinkInedness and drop some hard-earned industry knowledge on you. Things we wish someone told us way the hell back.

The magical edition just shy of our 100th. Feel the specialness as we rant, rant, rant our way through your ears. It’s chalk full of AdVerve hallmarks: Audio issues early on and our legendary ability to prolong the start like a Tarantino opening.

Our official Super Bowl Big Game Edition. Recorded weeks ago for your entertainment pleasure. What ads mattered? What ads didn't? We don't really care, actually. Added into the mix is a discussion on agency life and the glass ceiling.

Nudinits! Their peaceful folk of Woolly Bush. Bill then disses new NPR podcasts. Angela updates us on the latest reality shows coming out of MIPCOM. We end up riffing on sexy Halloween costumes and why dressing up like a concept is basically impossible.

Beta marriages, binge-watching, and our usual detours, namely Legos washing up on the shores of England and TV versus the internet, then wrap up with the movies you have to see right now unless you want to die sad and alone with cats who don’t love you.

Hear who took the big Lions at Cannes, everything Bill learned about the fireworks industry, and what search terms you'll need to outfit your next funeral via Pinterest. Seriously. We went there. (And we're only half sorry.)g

We’re back. That’s right. The universe is shrinking and expanding at this very thought. This episode 93 replaces the Mystery Episode 93, Publicis shake up and more rant-worthy rants. YOU MISSED US! CALL SIGN: AWESOME.

It’s Darryl Ohrt time! No better way to return from our hiatus than with friend of the show Darryl. We dish on his new Mash Studio gig and our love of all things shag rug. A special show with him and Angela in London. Get some.

Do we make anything? Angela kicks off by asking if non-coders in the content-as-commodity space really make anything, leading to what it means to be a deep generalist. Also, Apple's name, Putney Swope, and Kimdotcom’s newest Fuck-the-Man project.

It’s the End of Days Year-End special! Which means A) We just now put out a show recorded weeks ago and B) we cover everything BUT the End of Days. Starbucks and talking mermaids, our top five no holds barred/one-nite stand picks, iterative Lincoln films and filmage en général. It’s 2013 – you know what to do.

We cover NT1’s zombie guerrilla campaign, candy corn Oreos, book vandalism and why Bill is sick of zombies and vampires. In keeping with Halloween, there’s also a horror films tangent — appropriately kicked off by Angela’s recent decision to watch Cabin in the Woods. (Epic.)

Angela attempts to impose new organisation onto the show, and all goes horribly wrong as things derail and we drift into wild, weedy territory: themed weddings, connectomes, tattoos, and — this was Bill’s fault — the prospective superpets of superheroes.

The Colorado theatre shooting, Jim Henson's moral cutting of the Chick-Fil-A cord, NOAA's mermaid debunking, Bill's refusal to entertain speculations of android humanity, and we attempt a Proust questionnaire.

We mighta outta shoulda called it The Rant After Cannes! It’s your extra spicy, extra ranty edition. We work in tech conference d-bags, Cannes beaches, social startups vs. agencies, and enough discussion around local colloquial to make ya sick.

Guest, loyal listener and BFG content manager Hal Thomas (@halthomas) joins us for a show that kicks off with vampires, detours through Pink Floyd and Pinterest’s new TOS, then finishes with whether Apple’s gonna do for TV what it did for mobile.

Get your rage rant about social media lunacy, whether there’s a point to Pinterest and Chill.com. We take on pirates and breach Kevin Smith’s reality TV series Comic Book Men and Angela talks about the Pirate Bay’s new project: 3D Printing!

We’ve waited so long to get this out that our cup-runneth-over with catch-up riffs! We tear the crap out of bad community management, people interrupting your well-paid public diversion with cell phones, and review movies we watched between shows.
