In a week that finally saw the demise of Martin Sorrell, we are joined by veteran, UK adman Dave Buchanan to bemoan the general decline of the ad business over the past 20 years. Born and bred in working class Manchester, we chart his life journey framed by a love of Manchester United that saw him attend almost every game (home and away) over two decades. We also discuss the racism endemic in football during the 1970s and 1980s and how the sport has changed down the years; the potentially debilitating consequences of the relentless march of unchecked technology; and how many creative University courses’ preference for conformity tends to crush the creativity, free spirit and hunger in their students.
