"(Season: The Barbie Tapes) The marketing studies and reports that were conducted are absolutely fascinating... I really enjoy the way the format mixes between a conversation with Antonia and M.G., and the archival recordings. I’m a sucker for the rawness of that kind of audio and it has a cool way of transporting you back in time, especially when they play old Barbie commercials."
