Rincey is a writer and editor who always has a reaction gif ready to go. Rincey spends her free time reading (obviously), and wandering the streets of Chicago in search of good food and possibly not as good music. (She does have an affinity for pop music. Don't hold that against her.) She is also often busy taking notes on how to be more like Leslie Knope. YouTube: Rincey Reads Twitter: @rinceya

Four media psychologist—who are also dedicated Mad Men fans—explore how the Mad Men’s viewers make meaning from fictional drama. It also includes interviews with contemporary advertising industry professionals and their view of the ad business in its modern guise and what they make of the show’s vision of their past. The result is cutting-edge psychological research that crunches and codes online fan commentary to understand how fans use the show to debate complex social issues.
