The Advertising Hour is just an excuse for me to take at least 60-minutes every couple of weeks to explore the goings-on in my curiosity-plagued mind. Part therapy, part meditation, part study.  Mostly, I'm hoping to learn a little more about myself, my contemporaries and my obsessions through the study and discussion of all things advertising.  I expect to get plenty distracted along the way. At very least I hope to light-up a few unsuspecting synapses.  It's a bonus for us all if this helps to surface unique marketing insight.
