We're recapping Season 2 of The West Wing (episodes 11-14), and somehow this stretch of episodes has it all: a bipartisan breakfast that turns into political warfare, a missile defense test that misses its target by 137 miles, and a State of the Union address with more fallout than the speech itself. We also go on a few tangents, because that's what we do: Our takes on meeting real-life political figures (and how awkward that can actually be) The most cringe-worthy underwear story you'll hear this week — you'll have to listen to believe it Why the West Wing's fictional administration might be more functional than most real ones Whether you're a longtime West Wing fan revisiting the series or discovering it for the first time, this episode has the analysis, the tangents, and the "wait, we need to talk about this" moments that make TV recap podcasts fun to listen to. 💬 Ever met a politician or public figure in an awkward setting?

This week we're deep in Season 2 of The West Wing (episodes 3-6) and there's a lot to unpack. We break down why Ainsley Hayes might be the perfect narrative foil for Sam Seaborn, and get into a real debate about who exactly John Larroquette is to each of us. Somewhere along the way, we also plan our dream beach vacation and make a case for bringing jazzercise back — don't ask, just listen. We also get into the chemistry between POTUS and FLOTUS, because Bartlet is clearly obsessed with his wife, and we have thoughts on what that roleplay probably looks like (spoiler: think Grease, but make it presidential). And in true Sorkin fashion, we talk about how this fictional administration somehow feels more functional and more democratic than a lot of real ones — then and now. If you're rewatching The West Wing or discovering it for the first time, this episode has the character analysis, the tangents, and the "wait, we need to talk about this" moments that made you fall for the show in the first place. 👇 Team Ainsley or not sure yet?

They're creeping up on the end of Season 1 (IYKYK) so it's not too late to rewatch with them and join in on the fun.
