     Bob's first audiobook is an inspiring, uncompromising, and hilarious compendium of philosophy, conversations, rants, and wisdom about the art and business of advertising.

     It's a compilation of over five hours of stuff about advertising and marketing. It has readings from articles Bob's written, interviews he's done, podcasts he's been a part of, talks he's given, and arguments he's had with Uber drivers.

     Best part, it's only $14.99. We've paid more than that recently for a tunafish sandwich.

     It's the perfect book for anyone with ears and a brain.

"A fascinating account of an advertising practice little understood....Hoffman, an ad agency veteran, details the political and legal dangers posed by tracking-based advertising. ..These points of vulnerability are rigorously documented by the author in this concise synopsis of the issue...his account of the way in which advertising data collection works is as meticulous as it is accessible, and his presentation of its dangers is illuminating. For readers in search of a brief study of the issue, this is an eye-opening book." - Kirkus Reviews
