About this listen

 It all comes down to this. In our commentary and discussion of Mad Men's season one finale, we unpack The Wheel—a haunting, heartfelt conclusion that solidifies the show’s reputation as one of television’s all-time greats. As Don Draper pitches the Kodak Carousel, he delivers one of the most iconic moments in TV history, privately spiraling in ways even nostalgia can’t fix. We explore the emotional weight of Don's pitch, Betty and Peggy's own heartwrenching crossroads, and the episode’s elegant meditation on the nature of "success," loss, and longing. As always, we hand out our episode awards, spotlighting the standout performances, scenes, and moments that made this episode such an unforgettable finale to a terrific debut season. Intro theme music composed by Dar Golan. Please like, subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever else you listen! Got thoughts or questions?
