Recorded 3/13/25 - Sussex is Sussexing. We examine the latest plays in Meghan Markle/Sussex's PR rollout. How many peanut butter pretzels does it take to make you likable? We talk about it, and pitch our ideas for the forthcoming season two of her Netflix series. While in the royal kitchen, we talk about the royal PR mess that is Moms Across America vs. Girl Scout Cookies of America. 'MURICA! Within 5 minutes, we debunk the claims against the cookie company and give a real-time, immersive lesson in "media literacy" - AKA - don't believe everything you read. Nonetheless, the damage has been done. How can the Girl Scouts of America (ginger) snap back from this PR crisis? We pitch a naughty PR plan to retaliate against this news cycle. Next, we check-in on the highly orchestrated Hermes new cycle that started over 1 year ago with a fake (allegedly, entertainment purposes only) anti-trust lawsuit in San Francisco. We clocked this bizarre PR campaign on day 1 (thanks to a very unusual report by the Associated Press) and track it to the current headlines (business model) of Birkin dupes. Speaking of which, Donatella steps down from Versace, and Demna steps up for Gucci. A change of guard usually means trouble, what can these brands do to stay profitable in a climate where people can't buy eggs? We have a PR/product plan for them. Last, but never least, a new app is launching today in the UK. It is called "Touch Grass," and its goal is to force people to unplug from their phones and literally touch grass. The news broke in the US via CNET, and we have thoughts. Questions, comments, concerns, sponsorship - please email stillspinningpod at gmail dot com. And kindly leave us 5-stars if you're enjoying this unhinged entertainment news show.
