Mad Yourself A Man 109: Shoot, with Anna Hossnieh (Patreon)

She Was a Model, You Know.

This week’s guest may not be familiar with Mad Men, but she’s no stranger to podding herself. iHeart Podcasts Executive Producer and returning guest Anna Hossnieh joins Matt & Vince to talk about season one episode nine, “Shoot.” 

After bumping into each other at a Broadway show about Fiorello La Guardia (yes that was a real show) an exec from a rival ad agency, Jim Hobart, tries to lure Don away from Sterling Cooper to the “big leagues”  by promising Betty a modeling job for Coca-Cola (she was a model, she reminds everyone throughout the episode). Don turns down the offer, causing Jim to pull Betty from the gig, so she shoots her neighbor’s pigeons. The 60’s: it was a wild time, man. 

Back at the office, Pete remembers a dog funeral he attended in college, which directly leads to Sterling Cooper buying a bunch of ad space for laxatives to thwart JFK. The 60’s: it was a wild time, man.
