    In our commentary for the pilot episode of Mad Men, we’re introduced to the dazzling yet cutthroat world of the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. Join us as we meet Don Draper and the rest of the iconic cast for the first time, unpack the themes and aesthetics that set the tone for the series, and dive into the creative chaos of 1960s advertising. Plus, we debut our recurring awards segment, highlighting standout moments, performances, and, of course, the best smoke-filled scenes. Light up and listen as we kick off our journey into the world of Mad Men. Intro theme music composed by Dar Golan.

    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.
