Episode 138: Signs of the Times - Barber Poles and Pawn Broker Balls

We’re revisiting one of our classic episodes.

There are visual icons that have symbolized professions for so long their origin stories are unknown to the very customers served by them. These independent businesses are owned by all kinds of people serving millions on a daily basis throughout the world, all using these same basic signs outside their establishments.

We're discussing barber poles and pawnbroker balls, two symbols that, unless you’re truly in the middle of nowhere, you can find within minutes of where you live, work or both.

So order up a couple of Barber Beers. We’re lookin' good and feelin' good, back here in the bar.
