Bookmarks 2026

Author: Apostrophe Podcast Network May 23, 2026 Duration: 27:34

This week, it’s our annual Bookmarks episode.

We read a lot of books to research this show. And this episode is dedicated to the great stories that didn’t fit into our regular season.

We’ll talk about the importance of numbers in marketing, and a hilarious tale about expense reports.

And we’ll tell a story about a doctor who was drummed out of the medical establishment all because he insisted doctors wash their hands.

Ever wonder how a commercial jingle gets stuck in your head for decades, or why a particular brand feels like an old friend? Under the Influence with Terry O'Reilly pulls back the curtain on the powerful, often unseen forces of advertising that shape our daily lives and choices. This isn't a dry business lecture; it's a series of engaging narratives hosted by Terry O'Reilly, a seasoned adman with a storyteller's gift. Each episode feels like a conversation, unpacking the fascinating and frequently funny intersections where marketing strategy meets human psychology and popular culture.

Produced by the Apostrophe Podcast Network, this podcast serves as a unique lens on society, business, and the stories we tell ourselves through the products we buy and the brands we trust. It’s about understanding the why behind the buy, revealing how influence is crafted, sold, and woven into the fabric of our world.
