NO PROMO
Spoiler: Just about everything ever has a dedicated strategy behind it. Ever wondered why lesbians drive Subarus? Or why vibrators were once used to treat "hysteria"? Welcome to No Promo—the show that unpacks the shocking, delightful, and horrifying marketing forces behind why a lot of things in pop culture are “just the way it is” today. From rainbow-washing Pride, to queering wedding traditions, we explore how branding, capitalism, and social norms have shaped the world we live in—especially for LGBTQ+ communities, through a queer lens. Hosted by Lisa Kribs & the team at TGW Studio (a.k.a. The World’s Gayest Marketing Agency), this podcast is where history, marketing, and culture collide.

Is Hydration a Hoax?
Cover your Hydroflask's ears!! In this episode, Lisa, CB, and Whitney break down the history of the emotional support water bottle craze (think: Stanley cups), and question EVERYTHING. Do you really need to drink 8 cups of water a day or is hydration anxiety the product of a big fat marketing campaign?!?
