From the soft hum to the frosty compartment,
the humble fridge is a core component in a campsite setup. In this episode, Ben and Lauren keep their cool in an interview with Evakool’s Head of Marketing Leana, and Head of Refrigeration (and longstanding, qualified refrigeration mechanic) Jaimie.
Despite their long-established narrative and true-blue Aussie spirit, Evakool consistently generate fresh ideas. Tune in for a chockablock chat that unpacks all from their fruitful history to fridge efficiency.
