S3E4 – The Arrangements

Mad Men Men

Sorry we're late with this episode, we were out picking up peaches and smelling the oranges. That's right, this week we're discussing Episode 4 of Season 3 of Mad Men, titled "The Arrangements." As we point out, this is a big episode for characters with "Sal" in their name, and if you happen to coincidentally be a massive Jai Alai fan. Actually, you might not be too happy about how this episode plays out in that case. We also do a big send-up for one Gene Hofstadt, portrayed by Ryan Cutrona. We're going to listen to the podcast now, as long as you keep a lookout!

In case this is your first time digging into Mad Men Men, our humble little baby podcast recaps 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 superfan who watches excessively it instead of having a functional social life.
