The Super Bowl ad-fest continued it's downward spiral this year, leaving the panel mostly unimpressed. But the larger issues of sexism, ethics and creativity offered plenty of fodder for us to discuss and made for a lively debate.

A program note, George Parker is very soft in this episode due to some connection issues. Apologies for that. I normally wouldn't have allowed someone to connect via phone, but his insights are totally worth cranking the volume up to hear.
