    S4E1: Public Relations

    Mad Men & Tonic is back for Season 4! It’s S4E1, “Public Relations,” and there’s a noticeable lack of holiday spirit on Thanksgiving 1964. K&E mix New York Sours, put on their chicken Kiev ponchos, and battle through rude barking podcast guests to take stock of SCDP and a post-Draper marriage world. Plus, Kristina finds a way to save humanity from aliens AND poltergeists. (Note: Background noise settles after 15ish minutes when the “guest stars” calmed down.)  https://www.instagram.com/madmenandtonic/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1615656/ Episode IMDB https://madmen.fandom.com/wiki/Public_Relations Wiki: Public Relations (Mad Men), John and Marsha, Virginia Mayo, The School for Scandal, Wide World of Sports (American TV program), The Picture of Dorian Gray, Jantzen, S.C.

    Bonus Episode: Listener Letters, Season 3

    Welcome back to Mad Men & Tonic! In the second (and final) bonus episode before the 3rd (Annual? Biannual? Occasional?) MME’s , we delve into listener comments and insights from the internets! Including about K & E’s zodiac signs … when K tells us that while “nature is fine and all,” she’s not your usual earthy Virgo, she’d prefer to go to an art museum, look at a watercolor of a plant, and then go out to dinner. Thanks to all our listeners and fellow Mad Men obsessives for making this one possible. https://www.instagram.com/madmenandtonic/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(astrology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgo_(astrology) https://www.instagram.com/notallgeminis/ https://www.instagram.com/subparparks/ https://www.reddit.com/r/peopledyinginside/ https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/twilight-sleep-childbirth-1910s-feminists https://www.quinlanco.com/ https://www.instagram.com/attorney.memes/

    S3E11: The Gypsy and the Hobo

    Welcome back to Mad Men & Tonic. It’s Halloween in S3E11, “The Gypsy and the Hobo,” and there’s plenty to fear. Kristina and Elias mix Old Flame cocktails in honor of Annabelle (the dog food magnate, not the possessed doll), and discuss Don’s nightmare finally coming to pass, identify the smartest character in the show, and somehow connect Roger to an infamous serial killer? Spooky indeed.

    S3E10: The Color Blue

    Mad Men & Tonic is back yet again, and in S3E10, “The Color Blue,” Kristina and Elias mix the non-sensical Blue Envy Cocktail and prepare to celebrate Sterling Cooper’s 40th Anniversary, Betty’s hard fought victory over Don’s desk drawer, and Peggy’s much deserved Ken Cosgrove edit.
