Episode 17: Ads from our childhood —let’s talk about the greatest hits

In this episode, we talk about some of the biggest advertisements from our childhood.

Bonus: What not to say to a young woman who may or may not be a mother. Extra links: Fair & Lovely Ads: an evolution Tanishq ads: a playlist Indian stars and Cola wars, The Indian Express
