SciShow Tangents | Rewind Ep. 6 - Advertising | SciShow Tangents Podcast @SciShowTangents | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 15 minutes ago.
Welcome to SciShow Tangents Rewind! Each week, we'll be bringing you an old episode of the show, in original airing order. Whether you're listening through for the first time or rediscovering old favorites, there's something for everyone! Enjoy!
From website banners to scratch-and-sniff magazine spreads, you’ve probably been the target of thousands of ads. Like, you’re even going to hear one during this podcast—we gotta eat! At this point, you might feel like you’re immune to advertising, because there’s no way a ridiculous infomercial could make you want a reusable juice box. But the psychology behind advertising has always been powerful. So this week, we’re diving into the science of when ads work, when they don’t, and when they’ve led to some pretty serious problems like the opioid epidemic.
