Subway Sagas

After over a year, Sharon and Sean revisit the topic of subway ad campaigns. In a conveniently topical coincidence, they start off the episode discussing Otter Pops, which Sean has never heard of before, growing up in New England where Fla-Vor-Ice was king of the freeze pop market. Sharon relishes enlightening Sean on the joys of Otter Pops and consumes half a dozen of them in the process. (Similar to Seamless and Grubhub, Otter Pops and Fla-Vor-Ice are apparently owned by the same company - who knew!  https://www.eater.com/2018/8/21/17660626/freeze-pops-ice-otter-pops) If the freeze pops aren't enough to entice you, you'll definitely want to listen to hear Sharon and Sean's latest take on some of the more recent subway ad campaigns, including one that has a deep cut reference to an NYC occurrence that they discussed on an episode earlier this year! During News of the Week, Sean shares distressing news that the MTA Board is making moves to strip our beloved Andy Byford of control of crucial capital projects.
