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

09/08/23 • 53 min

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.

Episode 56: Andy Warhol: The Silver Wears Off The Factory - Part 2

This episode wraps-up the chronicle of The Factory’s downward slide. Drella has made the scene at The Factory and there has been some fallout. A script entitled “Up Your Ass” led to Andy Warhol barely cheating death at the hands of its author, Valarie Solanas. She called the Factory dwellers the “Stupidstars” and Warhol “a vulture and a thief.” The resulting scars Andy had — both physical and emotional — would last the rest of his life.

Episode 57: Andy Warhol: Album Covers Take a Walk on the Wild Side - Part 1

Beginning with the backstory of one of the most iconic albums of all time, 1967’s “The Velvet Underground and Nico,” we return to The Factory scene as it was becoming commercially successful—but no less of a sideshow—as musicians come calling for new ideas or simply hipster art cred. We also discuss the design work Warhol created for bands like the Rolling Stones and the idea of turning a disposable record holder into individual artistic keepsakes.
