Episode 123: Stone Age Advertising (Part 1)

from Screens of the Stone Age · host Josh Lindal, Dr. Kimberly Plomp, and Dr. Ross Barnett

Today we’re exploring the crazy world of marketing – caveman style! We’re reviewing a compilation of television commercials featuring prehistoric people. McDonald’s, Budweiser, Doritos—if it’s modern and convenient, you can bet a caveman has tried to sell it. Why? I’m not sure, but I’m kinda craving some cheese products for some reason.
