What do Star Wars and The Donald have in common? They know their audiences (different, overlapping audiences), they connect with them on an emotional level (different emotions, presumably) and they deliver on what their audiences expect (entertainment and fixing frustrations.) Star Wars and Donald Trump are omnipresent and successful in all three elements. And we talk about Christmas presents, science fiction, the Beard Club’s sexism, daring greatly and more. Perhaps our most ADD episode ever!
