We know how you all had it in your heads. Someone would see our podcast and say, "get me that podcaster!" Well, I'm sorry things didn't work out that way. That's right, it's time for another episode of Mad Men Men! This week on the podcast, we discuss "Flight 1," which is the second episode of Season 2. Drugs and racism rear their heads at an office work party. A flight nosedives, and Pete won't be laughing for long. Peggy visits her family and gets more than she bargained for. And Don really...

And we're back. To do the twist! The twist to a new season that is. In the time since we finished recording season 1, we switched over to InBetweenDrafts, so here we are! Let's get started. This week on the podcast, we discuss "For Those Who Think Young," which is the first episode of Season 2. Valentine's Day sweeps the Sterling Cooper staff and their families. Don's meditating on a poetic emergency. Peggy has a line or two about a line or two. And someone needs to explain diabetes to Pete...

We did it. We watched a full season of Mad Men. It was extremely easy (we just pressed play on a TV show 13 times). But in other ways it was difficult. We had to put our hands up to the wall and say, "We're here...to podcast." So this week on Mad Men Men, we discuss "The Wheel," the 13th episode of Season 1. Pete Campbell has the opposite of baby fever. But don't tell that to Peggy Olson. Don finds a time machine and why is Betty scheduling so many therapy sessions this week? In case this is...

My father had a podcast like this, and when I listened to it...that was a mistake. All right, the polls have closed, and Mad Men Men is ahead. That's right, this week we're digging our own graves for "Nixon vs Kennedy," the 12th episode of Season 1. The Sterling Cooper crew is partying it up, complete with Paul Kinsey's stage play. Peggy said all lives matter. Don and Pete are fighting over which of them metaphorically aligns with Kennedy. And Cooper asks the question most people ask when...

Take a break from your passive exercise regime, it's time for another episode of Mad Men Men. This week, we're unpacking our suitcases for "Indian summer," the 11th episode of Season 1. Peggy's first pitch goes down to the wire(s). Don's affair with Rachel has Betty all hot and bothered. Roger tries makeup for the first time, and is Peggy finally learning to take her work home with her? In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, this podcast tackles Mad Men from the...

We needed a long weekend to collect our thoughts on what is certainly our most contentious Mad Men discussion yet. This week, we're talking about "Long Weekend," the tenth episode of Season 1. Betty's dad is in town, and so is his new girlfriend. Kennedy has a new jingle that's getting all the kids talking. Joan and Carol are coming out for a night on the town! On that note, Don and Roger throw a private party after hours. And is that Rachel Menken's apartment in a movie referencing The...

We're back from Mamie's funeral, so don't call us Cutups. This week, special guest Katey Stoetzel joins us to shoot yet another episode of Mad Men Men, aptly titled "Shoot," the ninth episode of Season 1. Betty's therapy sessions have been firing on all cylinders. For once, Don's the one getting seduced by a creepy ad executive. And yes, we can confirm Peggy Olsen loves lobster, so all bullies deserve a punch. In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, this podcast tackles Mad...

Ciao, ciao. We're taking a break from the bowling team this week, and all our holes have been dug, so it's time to talk about Mad Men again! This week, we're marking our podcast for "The Hobo Code," the eighth episode of Season 1. Peggy and Pete come, ahem, into work early. Sal goes on a man date. Don gets high and listens to Jesus, I mean Miles. And this episode has a twist! In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, this podcast tackles Mad Men from the perspective of...

You got fingers in your ears? We’re talking about Mad Men! It has episodes on the side and a podcast in the middle. This week, we set our sights on ‘Red in the Face,’ the seventh episode of Season 1. Don feels like he’s living with a child, Betty’s a vegetarian sometimes, Roger parks in the wrong garage, and Pete has a special little errand he gets to run during lunch, today. How exciting for him! In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, this podcast tackles Mad Men from the...

On our first ever Mad Men Men "special," we zero in on just one series of scenes from a recent episode we covered. You might remember how in S1E5 ("5G"), we talked about how the scenes between Dick and Adam could play out as a profound short story and...well, it's time to prove that! This is a re-edit of the audio from the episode, stitched together as a new version of the same story.  We'll be back next week for our discussion of S1E7, "Red in the Face." Mad Men was created by Matthew...

Don't you want to see the podcast land? Welcome back to Mad Men Men! This week, we get into 'Babylon,' the sixth episode of Mad Men Season 1. Don's flexing his library card these days, but he's the one being read like a book by Maggie Siff as Rachel. Peggy's taking out the trash when it comes to sexist expectations, and is that Joan and Roger leaving the same hotel at the same time again? In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, this podcast tackles Mad Men from the...

Podcasts sent to the office…hey there, welcome back to Mad Men Men! This week, we’re covering Season 1, Episode 5: 5G. Lots of fives in this one. After winning a prestigious advertising award, Don comes face-to-face with an unlikely figure from his past. Meanwhile, Peggy gets in over her head trying to save the Draper photo shoot. And is that Ken Cosgrove, published author? In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, this podcast tackles Mad Men from the perspective of someone...

We like to think of podcasting as the backbone of America. Especially when it comes to Mad Men! In "New Amsterdam," we follow way more of Pete (Dykeman?) Campbell's life than usual, as he conflicts with Don over a pitch with Bethlehem Steel. And at home, Betty gets some alone time with Glen Bishop, and it goes about as well as no one expected. In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, this podcast tackles Mad Men from the perspective of someone who hasn’t really watched the...

Who is Don Draper...at home? In "Marriage of Figaro," we find the first real experimentation of Mad Men's formula, specifically as it relates to two halves of Don's life at constant conflict with one another. Pete Campbell returns from his honeymoon, Peggy picks up a new book, and Don tries to spark something with Rachel. But that's just Part 1 of an episode that says something a little deeper about love, marriage, and the American family. Mad Men was created by Matthew Weiner and aired on...

On Episode 2 of Mad Men Men, we return to Madison Avenue to discuss the second episode of Mad Men. We continue our conversation from last week about the show’s handling of sexism and out-of-place 60s references. Plus we start digging into the motivations behind Don Draper’s infidelity and romantic aspirations. In case you skipped the pilot, this podcast tackles Mad Men from the perspective of someone who hasn’t really watched the show, someone who went through it once a long time ago, and a...

The year is 1960. Sorry, 2022. Three men who are mad about Mad Men are smoking herbal cigarettes and getting a little chatty about one of the greatest television dramas of all time. We begin with the show's pilot, of course, titled "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," but this isn't your typical rewatch podcast. One of our hosts has only seen a handful of episodes over a decade ago, one has seen the show only one time through, and the last has rewatched the show almost a dozen times. We won't be...
