Mad Men Podcast Talks Emmys and New Shows #Manhattan #HaltAndCatchFire #MadMen #AtoZ #YoungDoctorsNotebook



I had a great time on The Mad Men Podcast last night. We talked about Mad Men's Emmy nominations, new shows and films you can see some of the cast in in the coming weeks, and new shows we think Mad Men fans might want to check out.

As we all know Mad Men will come to an end next year and we all need to try and find something to fill the hole that will leave. I'm sure as Mad Men fans all of our first instinct is liquor, smoking, and sex, but maybe give some of these shows a try too!

Due to a little technical snafu this installment of the podcast is audio only. Seems the camera loves me so much it neglected to ever switch to Jeremiah. oopsy!

Here's the link to the show Mad Men Podcast Episode 79

Young Doctor's Notebook Season 2 @OvationAYDN


I'm very excited about the second season of A YOUNG DOCTOR'S NOTEBOOK on Ovation August 19th. It is an incredibly odd show about the same character in two different times of his life playing out simultaneously. The first season of A Young Doctors Notebook aired last year and was as good you you would expect with stars Jon Hamm And Daniel Radcliff.

The network describes the second season as "Your past will always catch up with you. Sometimes your future does too. Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe return to star in a second series inspired by the works of Russian novelist Mikhail Bulgakov. Revisiting the small village of Muryevo in 1918, we find the Young Doctor battling an all-consuming morphine addiction. Under the critical gaze of his older self, the Young Doctor struggles to cope with life in the hospital and the efforts of his medical staff, the Civil War and the distractions of a beautiful young aristocrat, Natasha. With brilliant performances from the ensemble cast, A Young Doctor's Notebook & Other Stories provides a unique and lively take on Bulgakov's works. "

A Young Doctor's Notebook with Jon Hamm



Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliff star as the same man in A Young Doctor's Notebook series coming to Ovation Wednesday,October 2nd.

Ovation describes the show " Renowned Russian writer and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov’s book A Young Doctor’s Notebook was adapted into a television series by writers Mark Chappell, Shaun Pye and Alan Connor (The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret). It is a darkly humorous account of the turbulent experiences of a newly graduated young doctor (Daniel Radcliffe), artfully told through the eyes of his older, opiate-addicted self (Jon Hamm), who narrates the action from his own notebooks. The young doctor lands a post at a small hospital in a remote village during the Russian Revolution.  Dealing with superstitious and poorly educated patients creates for the doctor a brutal, panic-inducing introduction to his medical practice, causing the young doctor to struggle with doubts about his own competence."

The series was previously released in England and was critically acclaimed and  was the highest rated program for that network (Sky Art).

I've been dying to see this ever since I heard it mentioned on The Graham Norton Show earlier this year. Sadly my cable provider doesn't carry Ovation. Check to see if you get Ovation here. I put in a request with Time Warner here in LA to add it to their listings. We have a few months so if you're not getting Ovation get your requests in soon.
