From the Digital Box Set: This week, it’s our annual Bookmarks episode. The research team at Under the Influence does a lot of reading over the year and finds a lot of great stories - many of which don’t fit into our regular season. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be told. We’ll look at why Sting laughs at the beginning of Roxanne, how the U.S. military learned a lesson in branding when it got soldiers to eat their vegetables and the interesting story behind which car was the first ever to feature…a cup holder. This is an archived episode that aired originally on June 22, 2017.
