Finding love looked a little different the past year. Enter: the Lonely Hearts Club(house).

Eli and Clara rattle off the best-of Cannes Day 4, including a panel from the production designers behind ‘Poor Things,’ a live recording of Brian Morrissey’s “The Rebooting” podcast, and Scott Galloway’s take on Cannes and the state of advertising.

It's the team's final full day in Cannes. Gen Z trend forecaster Casey Lewis drops by to wait out the thunderstorm/share her top takes of the week, and a trump card celeb-sighting. Eli & Clara share the themes they're taking away from this year's programming after a week of panel discussions, manic dashes for sustenance, and holding meetings in direct sunlight. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Top hits on Day 3 of Cannes: Eli courts an “immersive” hydration partner for the pod, Clara recaps a panel with fan-favorite Survivor season 37 “Brains vs. Brawn” finalist Mike White, both discuss the pleasures and pitfalls of passed hors d’oeuvres.

It’s a blustery day two at the Cannes Festival of Creativity. Eli discusses what it was like to LARP as an angel investor at an exclusive New York Times dinner, Clara adjusts to life on cam, and uncovers what sports media can learn from OnlyFans. Plus, a discussion on why women’s soccer is “on a rocket ship” ahead of (and following) the 2023 World Cup. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s the first of four live-ish dispatches from the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. The lanyards are on. Some, more inconspicuously placed than others. Clara and Eli, having defeated jet lag—and feeling semi-hydrated—discuss an auspicious mic cut that precluded an audience Q&A with the CMO of Open AI, less yachts, more Orcas? A word from Bud Light, and Clara weighs a permanent life change. Plus, our predictions for the week ahead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We talk about Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy’s desire to “go back to an era where we didn’t wear our pajamas to the airport,” real bread lines at Meadow Lane, only doing charity if it’s a good content opportunity, and being “ghosted” by brands. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Annie Rauwerda is a comedian, long-time Wikipedian, and founder of the must-follow @depthsofwikipedia Instagram. In this special live episode, we ask her about the current right-wing attacks on Wikipedia, the Wikimedia awards, what it takes to be a Wikipedia editor, “Corn” being such a controversial entry page, muffins, why she’s optimistic about the next generation of internet users, and a wonderful story about making life-long friends from her “Perpetual Stew.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The crew unpacks Zohran Mamdani’s electoral victory and what it says about a younger generation of New Yorkers who are looking to claw back a sense of agency, power, purpose, and connection beyond the “brand universe.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Anu Lingala is a trend strategist and founder of the must-read Substack, WHAT’S ANU. We get a crash course in trend forecasting methodology, and then move on to who killed cool, the collapse of the irony/sincerity cycle, why people are trying to escape being seen by brands, Anu’s new theory on “trend bipolarity,” why we need to return to the basics of brand strategy, Anthony Bourdain, shareholder value, the Grimace shake, Peter Thiel, and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week on the pod we unpack what stunt movie marketing, the rise of fan edits, exclusive Glen Powell pics, and the not-advertising-advertising of the Louvre art heist reveal about what it takes to make a film relevant. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Daniel-Yaw Miller is an award-winning journalist and writer of the newsletter, SportsVerse. We talk to him about whether or not streamers and influencers are welcome disruptors or interlopers, not watching upstart sports leagues out of principle, what makes Stone Island a “smart collaborator” brand, depth vs. breadth, Loewe and On’s partnership with stone skipping GOAT Kurt Steiner, and NIL. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Everything is an ad and no one is paying attention. Trey and Eli discuss if it’s possible to cut through in an era of calcified apathy, ad blockers, toilet TV, and “brandspeak” afflicted gen pop. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
AJ Wolfe is a blogger and author of Disney Adults: Exploring (And Falling In Love With) A Magical Subculture. We dive into Disney Adult culture, what’s behind a sort of religious fervor for the House of Mouse, how Disney is shifting its business priorities and offerings to meet an older, childless consumer base, why “the worst part about being a Disney Adult is other Disney Adults,” why you don’t have a divine right to fun rides and Star Wars hotels, and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We—and the rest of New York—have a few thoughts on the sprawling, million dollar subway campaign for “Friend,” the AI-powered companion pendant that listens to whatever you’re doing and offers a running commentary on your interactions. It’s yet to ship a single product. Plus, Meta’s new “Vibes,” Palantir tote bags, ChatGPT and Claude’s new marketing pushes, and we ask “why do some brands have so much disdain for the consumer?” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Christina Loff is the Head of Lifestyle on the partnerships team at Substack. She also writes her own newsletter called The Dry Down Diaries. We talk to her about recruiting new writers to the platform, not being held to an algorithm, leaning into “founder-led” brand stories (but not every brand should be, or needs to be on the platform), bathhouse readings, and the importance of downloading the app. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We delve into Kyle Raymond Fitzpatrick’s apt and unrestrained diatribe on the “era of ad-based psychosis” in his newsletter The Trend Report, and what happens when we leave people with nothing other than products, branding, or a community manager in the comments section to bind their entire identity to. On the brighter side, stay to hear about a hamster riding a motorcycle, Owen Cooper and the return of earnest, Jane Eyre, Benghazi, and Clara’s time in The Pitt. Hosted on Acast.
