Show overview
Mad Men Deconstructed launched in 2020 and has put out 23 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 28 min and 37 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 18 episodes published. Published by Greg Hansen.
