Marc Maron - podcast


I'm embarrassed to say I'm not yet a mad men convert.

However, I listened to the marc maron podcast (of which I'm a huge fan) today and he had some interesting insights as to why it was a hit - or at least what it is that sparks with people.

1. The glamour/atmosphere
2. The fact that it's on the cusp of a new time in America - social norms genius-ly expressed, but beginning to blow open
3. The true/honest depiction of the (ad) work environment - "Seeing how the sausage is made"
