    "A Symbol For Bitches" Would Be A Good Title For A Movie
    Crossover time! James Kislingbury from A Quality Interruption swings by to talk Wolf Hall, The Vampire Diaries and Alias! There's some great roleplay about Fred Bond, we come to realisations that we might be morons, Genevieve yells some stuff off-mic, it's great.

    Download: http://imwatchinmystories.libsyn.com/a-symbol-for-bitches-would-be-a-good-title-for-a-movie

    this one is pretty good

    I am disappointed with the lack of vampire and/or diaries on this episode of the podcast. I did quite enjoy the retrospective on the show Alias, I love that show!

    I got nothing for you now. Try again later.

    [Mock outrage] 3 mins quick recap does not satisfy my thirst for all thing Vampire Diaries!

    No but in all fairness I really liked this episode of the Podcaste.

    I've been meaning to ask, is there anyway we, the listeners, can get a list of what you plan to cover on your next episode so, for those of us interested, we can look at some of those shows as well.

    I ended up stopping the Friday Night Lights so I could at least watch the pilot. And then blew through 7 episodes before I finished the podcast episode.

    Starting season 4 of Mad Men and ugh, Glen is back.

    Also, Megan has a very unassuming introduction to the show. Her entire first episode she's just a secretary in the background, filling out space.

    That was bullshit because he had just saved Sookie's life and could have died doing a courageous act but instead he just gets shot.

    There were two shooters, one of them the camera didn't glance over, and the other I didn't even remember his name!

    Early mad men thoughts so far
    -Peggy is the only one of these people who seems worth rooting for so far, but based on the snippets I've caught here and there I'm under the impression that's going to change

    -oh wait Betty and Helen are also people to root for

    -fuck eeeeeeeeveryone else though. They're all terrible

    -Don getting to hear all of the psychiatrist's notes on his wife is maybe the most horrified a TV show has ever made me. That can't possibly have been an acceptable or even doable thing even back then, right?

    -so I guess don tricked his family into thinking he died in, I assume Korea?

    dude in the fifties the way you gave birth was that doctors gave you a drug that was basically rufies to make you forget the entire experience, then tied you down with cloth straps while you basically went beserk during active labor. Women would be committed for being "hysterical."

    like, yeah that was how things were.

    I think the best scene of like, just kind of a surprising "oh this is the 60s" is when they're on a family picnic and they get up to leave and they just pick up the blanket and kind of whip it to throw all of the trash off of it and then they jet.

    So far it feels like some of those references are a bit uh

    Heavy handed

    The worst was in episode one when dons like "ITS NOT LIKE THERES SOME KIND OF MAGICAL MACHINE THAT CAN MAKE PERFECT COPIES OF THINGS"

    I would've assumed that those kinds of protections were way older than that

    Did HIPAA replace an existing confidentiality law or could doctors seriously share your info with whoever the fuck they wanted until the '90s

    I mean, there was still the Hippocratic oath, but it was more in the fact about protecting your reputation (while also trying to properly care for your patient). It's why you would still have issues where doctors would publish their diaries after a famous patient had died (because they no longer needed to protect that relationship) or would refrain from telling a person they were dying but still tell that person's family.

    It's a lot of interpretation throughout history. If I can convince myself that morally I'm in the clear by opening my mouth then there isn't anything to stop me from doing it unless a law prohibits it.

    there has always been a general idea of confidentiality since the birth of modern medicine with the Greeks, but that doesn't mean people applied it consistently and especially not in the case of women, again depending on the doctor.
