Bonus Episode: Nostalgia and Marketing: A Conversation with Kate Christensen

  1. Bonus Episode: Nostalgia and Marketing: A Conversation with Kate Christensen Evergreen Podcasts 53:39

Today we have a special guest we’ve welcomed into the bar.

We reached out to Kate Christensen after reading an article she wrote for the website Marketing Brew about marketing and nostalgia.

We thought “Marketing and nostalgia? Hey, that’s us!”

Kate is currently on the faculty at Indiana University. She’s produced movies for Disney, TV shows for Sony, and is very aware of pop culture through both her background and ongoing research.

We talk about toys, food and childhood memories among many, many topics. And, of course, the movie Airplane! comes up.

So grab your favorite feel-good drink and join us as we jump into our conversation with Kate.

Todd Coats & Elliot Strunk Co-Hosts of Two Designers Walk Into a Bar

Two Designers Walk Into a Bar is a podcast about iconic design and popular culture.

Hosted by graphic designers and collectors Todd Coats and Elliot Strunk, the podcast is constantly looking at pop culture and thinking about how it influences us and what we do for a living. Starting with a theme, we choose iconic work that we find meaningful and use humor and insight to break it down, turn it inside out and try to understand why it has stood the test of time. Two Designers Walk Into a Bar encourages listeners to dive into their libraries, mini storage units or memories with us.

Our website has each episode plus transcripts, notes and other extras.
