The Marketing RV Podcast with Ranalli and Volpe


Aug 14, 2019

025 – Promotional Potpourri: A Ranalli & Volpe Video Podcast

SYNOPSIS

In a stream of consciousness the conversation between Ranalli & Volpe in this episode bounces from Delco’s beloved drive-through dairy shop and The Great Hack to  Matty Roberts and selling T-shirts to Area 51 stormers. Add a little pot, politics, and non-profit and voila, and you’ll get a potpourri of marketing ideas for your 30-minute investment.  

First, the mess. This show starts out like a modern-day version of the Stooges or a Ranalli & Volpe interpretation of Abbott & Costello. If nothing else, Marketing RV’s first foray into remote video podcasting is entertaining. As conversations among Italians go, the hosts never thoroughly discuss The Great Hack but get caught up in Storm Area 51, which is slated for September 20. Details about the Internet phenomenon can be found in Episode 143 of the Confessionals podcast features Matty Roberts.

Given their respective summer vacations in the South of Jersey, Lorraine and Gene turn the conversation 180 degrees to discuss marketing along the beach, particularly with the Fudgy Wudgy Man, airplane banner ads, and boat billboards that are difficult to read. If you can help Marketing RV make a connection with a leader in the flying banner ads business, the hosts would love to interview that person. 

Marketing RV will podcast live August 27 when it returns to Fearless Restaurants to broadcast from the Moshulu on Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia. Get there at 4:00 p.m. to watch and perhaps be a part of the show. By then, Gene may reveal his plans for launching the Fire41 Fund, a non-profit he is establishing, in honor of his parents, to provide financial assistance to families that have lost their main income earner to an untimely death. The charity concept is similar to Friends for Friends, which formed in Delaware County in the ‘90s.
