In the premiere episode of Blowing Smoke: The Officially Unofficial Mad Men Podcast, we introduce you to the show’s format and discuss what you can expect from this deep dive into one of television's most iconic series. Hear about how we were first introduced to the show, what drew us to its world of sharp suits, sharper dialogue, and the haze of 1960s advertising culture, and how the show's themes continue to resonate with us to this day. We also share our hopes and expectations for revisiting and rediscovering the series episode by episode. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to Sterling Cooper, this is the perfect starting (or should we say jumping off) point for our journey through the smoky, stylish world of Mad Men.
