[MAD MEN] 401: Public Relations, with Briahna Joy Gray

Getting in on the Second Floor of our Podcast Empire

Welcome to the new golden era of Mad Men rewatch podcasting. HBO Max, likely in response to the popularity of this podcast, is now streaming every episode of America’s favorite Matthew Weiner joint. Join Matt & Vince as they celebrate their newfound cultural relevance by inviting the host of the Bad Faith podcast, Briahna Joy Gray, to kick off season four with episode one, “Public Relations.”

It’s a new era for the men on Madison Ave as well. Sterling Cooper is dead. Long live Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. They might not have a second floor, but they do have Lucky Strike, Don Draper, and jai alai– wait... they lost jai alai because Don is too set on trying to convince everyone his aloofness is concealing multitudes to give a good interview to the one-legged reporter. 

How will this gang of plucky upstart ad men and women get out of this jam? You’ll have to watch the episode, which is much easier to do now that it’s on HBO Max. Gotta give it up to Zaslav on this one. It’s almost enough to regret saying I think someone should [REDACTED] him.
