Another one of our favourite episodes from our sister podcast We Regret To Inform You: The Rejection Podcast and just in time for the holiday, is the rejection story of the movie Elf. This beloved and timeless Christmas classic, starring Will Ferrell brought in over $200M at the box office. But, back in 2000 the script was rejected by production companies, studios, directors and actors.

I talk to director David Tedeschi about his new Beatles film. Produced by Martin Scorsese, it captures the mania of Beatlemania when the Fab Four land in New York for the first time in 1964, including their historic appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. David tells us how it all came together, and what surprising things he learned about this first Fab Four trip. The film contains 17 minutes of brand new footage (restored by Pater Jacksonâs company), the soundtrack has been remixed by Giles Martin, and contains new interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

Mark has produced nine albums for Ringo. Before that, he was part of the Hudson Brothers. They had hit songs and the Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle TV show made them teen idols in the 70s. Mark is a huge Beatles fan and collector - and has spent time with all four Beatles. Heâs a great storyteller.

Companies are spending big bucks advertising weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Rybelsus.
This week, weâre dropping an episode of Brian Goldmanâs White Coat, Black Art podcast into our feed.
We thought you might find the topic interesting. In Canada, "reminder ads" can only give the medication's name, but they canât tell you what the drug is for. They just tell people to ask their doctor for more information.
I join Dr. Goldman in this episode to talk about those ads.
Are those ads good â or are they bad?

Tom Halley was one of the brilliant animators on Yellow Submarine. The film is considered one of the most inventive animated films of all time. In this interview with the late animator, he tells us how he came to be involved, how they all managed to create this classic film in just 11 months. And much to our surprise, Tom tells us he was also an animator on the Beatles cartoon series.

With the Paris Olympics in motion, it is a good time to revisit this episode from our archives.
From the first ad at the first Olympics in 1896, to the hundreds of millions spent on today's advertising contracts, sponsorship money has always been a contentious issue. The Olympics cost a fortune to stage, and sponsorship money makes it possible. But there's a price to pay when there's a price to pay. How marketing has evolved at the Olympics is a fascinating story.

David Sheff conducted the last major interview with John Lennon. Just as Double Fantasy was being released, Sheff interviewed John & Yoko for Playboy magazine. It was the famous interview where Lennon went through the Beatles catalogue song-by-song - just before he died. The backstory of that interview is fascinating.

I did a lot of commercials with Bob Newhart in the late 90s. He was one-in-a-million, a joy to work with, and he will be missed. And I want to tell you a very funny story that happened as a result of those commercials.

Astrid Kirchherr holds a special place in the history of the Beatles. She took the famous Hamburg-era photos of the Beatles in their formative years, she inspired their âmoptopâ hairstyle, and she happened to fall in love with Stuart Sutcliffe, the fifth member of the Beatles. Her story is compelling, and her love of the Beatles, as friends, comes through in every word.

Itâs almost impossible to do.
Yet, some companies do it by tweaking one tiny thing.
Weâll talk about an industry that put three words on their packaging that doubled their profit.
A company that created a catchy jingle that doubled their revenue overnight.
And a business that changed one single word in a headline and their profit went up 100%.

This week, we shoot for the moon.
Now that commercialized space travel has arrived, the world of marketing is setting its sights on the stars.
Weâll talk about ads on rocket ships, ads on spacesuits, and television commercials filmed on the International Space Station.
There are companies who want to employ hundreds of tiny satellites to create logos in the night sky.
Some companies even want to put ads on the moon.
And those ads might even be cheaper than Super Bowl commercials.

A much-loved beer campaign that has been revived after 34 years.
And a controversial commercial that was yanked off the air in 1989, but was re-run again recently.
