Customer Reviews
I support this episode of Front and Center
Alex and Kevin discussed seeing each other at the Mets game, Cornkid ™, protein infused drinks and doing whip-its [which they didn’t know much about.] They often discuss branding and design as well and are sponsored by The Dieline the packaging hub of qualité et goût. Today was branding and design lite. I don’t mind that. Last week was incredibly funny. Funnier than today. I laughed out loud several times [also while walking around the bay]. The read of the Dunkin Pumpkin Spice Goldfish release copy was a highlight. That said, I’m still giving a 5 for this week because 5’s help make everyone’s ratings better and to be honest 5’s are expected. Like Uber, if I rate anything less than 5 stars I’m a total dingo. So these guys show up, give it a go, ignore industry rules of being too cool and wearing a black t-shirt. So okay 5 for the rate. But put in perspective Yeezy only got a 9.5 on Pitchfork. So that’s saying today’s podcast reached steep Godhead vectors if comparative ratings apply.
