88 - Breaking Down Tampon Ads with Aviva Siegel

from Vicious Cycle · host Kate Elston, Meghann Hayes and Meg Trowbridge

We enjoy nothing more than digging into retro period product ads and this time we do it with our friend and fellow podcast host Aviva Siegel! Aviva hosts the pod Ad Wizards (Kate was on her show a few weeks ago talking about compilation CD commercials - check it out wherever you get your podcasts!), so we wanted to bring her on to help break down some classic tampon ads. Oh, and Meg H introduces us to our new favorite character actress — we know you'll love her, too. Tease your hair and get ready to dance in some white shorts, it's tampon ad time! Here are some of the commercials we watched!
