Used to be a fantastic podcast; didn’t bring political preaching to its work, just solidly excellent stories about the media and advertising industries. Then it apparently “found religion,” and now you can’t go two segments without hearing about identitarianism. They’ll make a believer out of you yet, don’t ya know. Oh, well. It was nice while it lasted.

I listen every day and it’s so good 😝😝😝😝😝

Fact-filled fun!

My favorite podcast! My mother worked for J Walter Thompson so I love hearing that agency mentioned. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

I was referred to this podcast via Small Town Dicks. So glad I checked it out. Very well written, interesting and the host’s voice is focused and smooth.

Works at many levels

Absolutely the most interesting podcast of all. Thank you so much for this amazing work

Warning! Listening to this podcast may change your perceptions of marketing and advertising. You May find yourself binge listening as the desire to learn more about the history, folly and serendipity of the products and ideas we have been sold over the years came to be. This podcast may irrevocably change your mood and put several smiles on your face while listening!

I have enjoyed every episode so far! Thank you for all of these wonderful gems of the business world! Addendum: With all that there is to learn about advertising specifically and business in general, I love your podcast’s breakdown of what is an otherwise daunting subject. Good storytelling, in a friendly manner. I have listened to each and every episode several times and have recommended them to all of my friends.

Many years of Terry podcasts and all his books - at this point I deserve a doctorate in marketing. I’ve used all I’ve learned in my marketing and I’m proud to say successfully in a little pond. Thank you, Professor Terry and team.

I’ve always had both a marketing fascination and a marketing instinct! It’s an entire other planet that controls so much of this one! Nothing brings you front row center to that world’s many layers as Under The Influence! Oh, and I love his voice!

It’s interesting to listen to the early TV voiceovers, all of the comedic spots used a similar dead-pan, flat sounding voice. Alka Seltzer, Braniff, AMC Rebel, used the same sounding voice as VW later adopted by Sadelmeier FOR Wendy’s- maybe an episode on trends in VO? Enjoy the show- from another TO’

Great content and delivery! My family binge listened to a bunch in a row on road trip and captivated us.

I’m in the marketing field and I really enjoy this!

Now you know the rest of the story...

I get SO tired of the re-hashed mundane. This podcast is SO interesting. I guess I’m on the same wavelength with the same sense of humor. My new go-to podcast.

This is a great podcast if you have any interest in how advertising is created and how it and the industry that created it works .. or not. Terry is very engaging and the writing is top-notch. A must-listen podcast!!!!

I really enjoy this podcast! It’s not a topic I’m familiar with, so I am learning so much. It’s well produced, and I look forward to seeing it pop up in my feed!

Terry does a fantastic job of examining the many facets of advertising and marketing, from specific product campaigns to generic styles and genres, from the history of album art to reasons why the color red is chosen, it’s all here in perfect, bite-sized episodes! Equal parts educational and entertaining, I can’t recommend this pod enough!

I love this podcast when I’m looking for an easy listen. He discusses some interesting topics and is very knowledgeable about all the topics he discusses.

I listen to many different podcasts and very few work so well with only a single voice, yet Terry O'Reilly, the host of CBC's Under the Influence pulls it off as well as anyone can. The stories make so many products and companies I encounter or have heard of interesting in ways I never would have imagined. The writing is superb, and often quite witty and humorous. This is a fave! Highly recommended.

I’ve been listening for several seasons now and I tend to repeat some of the stories I learned on here in real life. It’s a really informative pod.

We’ll researches, and very fun! I’ve learned a lot. Thanks!

This is my favorite show on public radio, and my favorite podcast!

Did you like Mad Men.......? This is waaay better.

An all time classic. THANK YOU for delivering each week. The efforts made by you and your crew are impressive! THANK YOU for all that you do. The show is clever, thoughtful, relevant, witty and just plain fun to listen to. I get EXCITED every time a new episode becomes available. 💥 Finally, I love the Canadian content and your music choices Terry! #CanadianLivingInTheUS #WhiteAlbumWasTheEnd #canada #ca

Love UTI withTerry Oreilly just the Best fun entertaining educational and brings back great memories!! I never miss his show found it by accident on cbcradio vancouver and loved it rver since! I always spread the word try it youll love it!! Never stop Terry👍🏽❤️😍😊☺️

The way he entertains and educates you at the same time is amazing. This podcast is Seasme Street for Adults who love advertising and marketing.

I love Under the influence, is highly addictive show. Love all the facts I truly find it highly entertaining and educational. Thank you for making such an amazing show downloaded all the sessions to catch up on the show. Heard it on SiriusXM CBC and looked for it on podcast and now I listen to every where I can. Truly genius!

I have listened to the podcast for years and am enjoying going through the catalog. Only complaint is that the announcements of the podcast availability, theme song, credits and ads take up almost as much space as the show and are spread around the show and not easily skippable. I understand that you may want to leave the “.ca” etc but help your loyal listeners skip past the theme music and credits and ‘download wherever’ bits!!

At first I wasn’t sure what to think about the show but as I have a list and then over the last year I have realized it is a bit of a time capsule , History lesson, cultural enlightenment and so much more all in 30 minutes wow Canada finally something better than maple syrup ! Plus as a bonus all the previous episodes are available to be listened and cherished and to be passed around like some religious text thank you Terry !

I have thoroughly enjoyed this show for years. Well written, educational and informative. Terry and staff do an outstanding job! I don’t see any new episodes - sure hope this is not the end of the show.

I absolutely love this podcast! It's a great resource for industry tips and secrets, and I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about marketing.

I have a number of podcasts that I listen to weekly, many of them thoughtful and thought -provoking. However, the insights, wit, and production brilliance of this show stands apart from all the others. I rarely wax this ecstatic but this show had earned my highest praise From the general construction of the production with the lead in story, where you wonder where Terry is going to take you, to every detail, especially the choice of music interludes, and the incredible intelligence of the writing, each and every episode, without exception, a complete delight and always enlightening! I look forward to every episode. I almost always have to listen to it twice or thrice to get the full appreciate it is so dense with content. If I had only one podcast to choose from, Under The Influence would be the one.

Thank you so much for providing the full season on iTunes, I’ve been hoping for this for years

Was a religious listener when he was on iTunes but when he left that medium I couldn’t get any more of the program. Just happen to do a quick search all this time later and here is my favorite podcast again!

I’m not from Canada... I have no connection to the ad industry... and yet this is one of my favorite podcasts! The story telling is fabulous and the show is well edited and produced.

One of my all-time favorite podcasts, and I listen to almost 70 a week. Whenever it updates, it immediately jumps to the top of my queue.

My favorite radio show

This podcast—which I initially discovered via streaming the CBC—is utterly fascinating. Advertising and marketing are all around us, but we rarely stop to think about the stories and skills behind them. This podcast shares those stories and a behind-the-scenes, how-the-sausage-is-made look at the field of advertising. Interesting, funny, and relevant.

Listen for amazing marketing tips.

I love this podcast - the quality, production, topics - everything about it. This is one of the best available and I look forward to each and every episode. Terry O'Reilly is fabulous. Get it now!

I can’t begin to say how much I look forward to new episodes. Terry and his crew manage to be informative, entertaining, smart and witty; never boring or condescending. It’s part-pop culture/part-business/always a great listen. Cant recommend it highly enough.

I thoroughly enjoy each episode. Lots of info on how marketing shapes and impacts our lives. Additionally, the content is mostly PG - so I feel comfortable listening to this with my kids. Not only that, they like it too!

One of the best shows available! Terry and his crew always produce great audio & quality to present well researched & interesting stories that are both entertaining & inspirational. Always eager to see a new episode of Under the Influence in my feed.

I sometimes hear this show on CBC in passing but now I’ve started downloading the podcast and omg I love it!!! Insight into the world of advertising how fascinating. I have learned so much that I knew nothing about. Mostly how hard people work to sell you crap you don’t need LOL! Wonderful podcast full of smart content nicely presented. More more more!!

Terry dispenses so much good information in every show that I either need to take notes or listen twice. The writing is witty and he's so well read that it's like getting an expert in marketing to review the current literature for free! If only it was year-round!

The content may be good, but the host’s delivery is extremely irritating.
