Viced Tea Special: The Philip Michael Thomas Psychic Network

This week on Miami Vice: We take a break from recaps and get into some Viced Tea! Our first-ever episode of Viced Tea gets into the story of Philip Michael Thomas' work with the Psychic Friends Network (later Access Resources, later Traffix, Inc.) from 1994 to 1997 and the messiness at the time of his tenure after he was replaced by Miss Cleo! Learn more about who Miss Cleo was, how the "psychic" hotlines got into hot water, the GTA: Vice City connection, what happened after he exited, and Philip Michael Thomas' vegan cookbook!

Like Viced Tea? Feel free to suggest topics about the Miami Vice stars that deserve a standalone episode. We will be back next Friday for our regular programming and recapping S02 E05: The Dutch Oven
