Agreed it was a great podcast. An interesting insider’s account that just burnt itself out getting high on its own supply. Turned top heavy with marketing and ads and spin-offs, sad, but that’s the pain part of nostalgia. ‘Twas a lark, but it’s jumped the shark.

We have been devoted fans and played all of the archive episodes and loved learning from you. This subscription venture is horrible and we will never even do a trial. The commercials have become increasingly annoying and irrelevant. Your credibility has suffered since you will now vouch for...Read full review »

Everything must end and for me this is the case with Under the Influence. I have listened to all of the epsodes either on CBC ornow as podcasts and many times as repeats because they are so very interesting. Now I get it that this is about making money , however the way in which the show is...Read full review »

I have to agree with the recent negative reviews. Under the Influence is a great show. I was really looking forward to the podcast but the number of commercial breaks is ridiculous. I understand that creating podcasts costs time and money and the creators deserve to get paid for their time. I...Read full review »

I’m only 12 and I love to listen to Under the influence! I listen during car rides and just at home, I love how a lot of it is about Canadian advertising. (Because I live there). Do you think you could do an episode about all the Ads you judged at the Lions festival sometime? But Also, why this...Read full review »

Use to look forward to these shows but now subscribe option is only way. Oh well. Onto other great podcasts out there.

The latest episode had just shy of 4 minutes of ad before the show starts. Maybe apropos given the show’s subject matter, but still excessive.
Drewaustin via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/12/24
I’ve listened for years on CBC. The ads ruin the experience for an ad podcast. So disappointed in this new format.

One of the reasons why I I started marketing my favorite brand is because of your show, I listen every day via podcast! Each time I listen, I get lots of information on how marketing and how different marketing strategies work. Not only that, but you get to learn on how the production or. Origin...Read full review »

Loved your latest broadcast about bad ads that become so good. I recorded “It’s Patrick, he took out life insurance. Good for you son!” immediately followed by a beep on our answering machine at the time. We got so many incapacitated laughing messages and endless call backs, it was hilarious....Read full review »

I’m only 11 and I love under the influence. I use it to fall asleep not because it is boring because terry has the perfect voice to relax you and make you fall asleep. The stories are AMAZING and very interesting. GREAT PODCAST!!! Pls make an ep about failed advertising and that failed miserably 🙏🙏
yellomarley via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/17/24
I’ve been a faithful listener since Age of Persuasion but the number and repetition of ads is terrible. Much more than other podcasts. Now “bonus” material? That greedy trope? Should listen to some old episodes on how brands implode. Very dissatisfying and the experience isn’t fun anymore....Read full review »

Just awful
alphabetakilo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/12/24
Just peachy. I already pay for the internet to access this series in the first place, and now I have to pay to get the full experience? I thought the point of ads was to pay for content? Bringing in the paywall would be “acceptable” if the paywalled episodes didn’t appear in the feed marked...Read full review »

Such a great show can’t wait to listen to new episodes! One of these days can make a Will Ferrell episode? Love the show.

You advertise over and over the same ads. Gets boring.

It seems no matter how I try to access/listen to new content from this once near-perfect podcast, now all I hear are ads, or content from other sources.

This is the best research published, polished audio show that I’ve ever seen
Carter Cook123 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/25/23
Was a great show but seems to be running out of interesting content and the number of ads seems to have doubled. They are also now embedded as well so more difficult to skip. Find myself rarely listening anymore and am now going to move on altogether.

Hi I am Jesse Ann Wolff and I am 10 years old . The reason that I love under the influence is that it is very boring and that helps me fall asleep. I also like that you are vary interesting at some times in the day. I hope that you keep it going . - Jesse A Wolff

Hires his family members to produce / research the show Typical Canadian behavior and I can’t stomach this
Sammy YYZ via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/17/23
For me, this is the best researched, the best presented, the best produced podcast out there. After all this time, the commitment to quality has never wavered.

Been listening for years on the radio, at times have driven around the block or sat in the car to finish episode. Now enjoy the podcast and ability to listen when I want and re-listen as needed

Terry has informed and entertained me for years; on this podcast and on it’s predecessors… Very smart man with shiny head…lol
P Tuner via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/27/23
Great show with wonderful archives
rolita masinova via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/25/23
I used to like this podcast but the number of ads is a real turn off. I realize Terry is an ad man but it’s too much for me. I don’t want to spend 10 minutes an episode listening to the same promos several times. Unsubscribed.

Ads
Used to listen on cbc. Here there are more ads and music than content ABOUT advertising. Enjoyment has gone way down.

Terry is a master storyteller. The episodes are well researched and draw on his vast personal experience. Love that they have a theme each week, and include several short examples. Having taught marketing and consumer behaviour, I love hearing these real world behind the scenes stories.
Saskatoony via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/29/23
I love this podcast, the stories, the human behaviour component to it… excellent!

I’d gladly pay a premium not to be subjected to the ads. I’ll keep listening….forever….as this is great stuff. The best. But sure would like to ditch the ads.

Great podcast but the amount of ads lately is painful. I know there’s bills to pay but it feels like half the recording!

I just love Terry’s show - I’ve been listening since I stumbled upon his show years ago. So interesting, if anyone speaks during his show I tell them to shut up and Listen! He deserves a slot on BBC World Service!! Well done Terry - keep up the great work!!
Alex Palfrey via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/22/23
Terry O’Reilly is simply the best. His podcasts are informative, entertaining, and are oh so good!!
Nikkei_88 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/07/23
This is revealing how we’re all getting manipulated day in and day out. We all need to know this in order to know what we’re up against, and it’s presented in such an engaging way that it’s enjoyable to listen to. Definitely give it a shot.
