Carlin and Brent, Indie 88, Toronto with Toronto’s Worst Bathroom
To make an idea sticky, you must push your verbiage to the margins. Language counts for something so to look for the best or worst of something is better than living in the mushy middle. Which is why Carlin and Brent, Indie 88, Toronto went looking for Toronto’s worst bathroom. No doubt their listeners have had to use many of them (so we knew it’d be relatable). We went about this differently than normal. The show curated a ton of audio and video content prior to us launching the competition, guaranteeing we’d have stuff for breaks long before we asked the audience to get involved. Here’s an example of a break they did after the launch. The winning store owner of the worst bathroom got the golden plunger award. Remember when doing something like this to push your language to the margins so it stands out.
