7 - Coffee
Mmm...smooth. Sorry for the 'delay' - Alan went to a festival, Craig moved house, and Duncan was busy profiting from the economic collapse of Venezuela. In this record-breaking seventh episode, we talk about coffee adverts, and things get a bit serious at the end. That's it. Nobody reads this anyway. Make up your own jokes.

6 - World Cup Football
It (was) coming 'home'. Remember? In this record-breaking sixth episode, we talk about football adverts. Specifically, world cup football adverts. Fat Ronaldo, new Ronaldo, drone strikes, and sound financial advice. We flip the script on all of this and more, and unite what is divided. Купите нефть «Газпром»! Now over to you...

5 - Fast Food
“It’s a bit long, isn’t it?” - A listener. In this record-breaking fifth episode, we risk our cholesterol levels as we devour fast-food adverts from the big three: McDonald's, KFC, and Burger King. We'll uncover a dark secret in Craig's past, critically evaluate the lyrics of DMX, get insider knowledge from a man known only as “Sharplove,” and meet Cliff the Pattyman. Plus: test your fast food knowledge with our quiz! #fastfoodfacts #fff #triplef Watch the ads with our ‘commentary’ at www.ohlordwontyoubuymeapodcast.xyz (thanks to Gamesmaster Phil for the website wizardy) Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@ohlordpodcast) and send us your worst targeted ads (#consume) and force your friends to listen whenever you can!

4.2 - Scotland
Too niche, too soon. In this record-breaking 42-minute episode, we remember an ad campaign that was "wonderfully resonant for the culture of the time." (Craig, 2018). At the turn of the century, the Health Education Board Scotland (HEBS) adverts tried to stop Scottish teenagers doing what they and generations before them had done so well and enjoyed so much: drinking too much, smoking, selling their Playstations for smack, and having strokes. Don't forget, you can watch these ads IN REAL TIME IRL by visiting http://ohlordwontyoubuymeapodcast.xyz/ Photo credit: Domaine de la Ganne

4.1 - Scotland
That's right, we're now doing two-parters, because mo' content mo' clicks...right? In part 1, we talk about the adverts for Scotland's other national drink, and a major contributing factor to the Glasgow effect, Irn Bru. OLWYBMAP is now fully multimedia and web 2.0. Due to the magical coding abilities of Gamesmaster Phil you can hear our 'commentary' while watching the ads we told you not to at http://ohlordwontyoubuymeapodcast.xyz/ Photo courtesy of D'Arcy Norman Flickr CC2.0

3 - Perfume
"It's been a long time (long time), we shouldn't of left you (left you), Without a dope beat to step to (step to, step to, step to, step to)." In this record-breaking third episode, we fail to understand perfume ads and ask: Is Paco Rabanne sexist? Why do perfume ads have documentaries about them and why did we watch them? What would Natalie Portman do for love? Who cares? Plus, keep listening for the worst quiz ever recorded. YOU'RE WELCOME.

2 - Cars
Hey, we're still here! We're as surprised as you are. In this even longer second episode, we talk about car ads, including the lazy stereotyping of Audi ads from the 80's and the despicable subversion of using a protest song for THAT Mercedes ad. Plus we find out how to park a Qashqai, and the one thing brothers Freddie and Adam have in common (spoiler: it's a car) We said we'd include links to the adverts here, but (like all adverts) we lied. Deal with it.

1 - Christmas
Why are we doing this? In this overly long first episode, we talk about Christmas ads, including a gruelling run-down of the increasingly sophisticated emotional manipulation of the John Lewis ads that is as difficult to listen to as as it was to research. We also find out about what Christmas used to be like for children in medieval times, and discuss what Greggs the Bakers should do after this year's "Sausage Roll Jesus" campaign. Sponsorship for this episode comes from Allkatime Batteries, Straight Up!, and the St. Kilda Institute of Commerce and Space Travel.
