TG Geeks Webcast Episode 315

The Two Gay Geeks 🏳️‍🌈 have a chat with each other about the entire TV series, The West Wing, including the special that was aired on HBO Max this last election season. We chat about what made it so intriguing and does it have the staying power years after the original air dates. It is a lively discussion. Have a listen and we hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

So, come along and join our wildest ride in the podosphere. About The West Wing ☀☀☀ When the erudite Democrat Josiah "Jed" Bartlet is elected U.S. president, he installs his administration. He places confidants from his electoral campaigns in the White House. Each of these people play a significant role in the Washington power game: the Chief of Staff (Leo McGarry), his deputy (Josh Lyman), Communications Director (Toby Ziegler), deputy (Sam Seaborn, and later, Will Bailey), and press secretary (CJ Cregg). Also in key positions are the assistants of each of the power players. We follow these people through many political battles, as well as some personal ones. Also playing roles are the First Lady (Abigail Bartlet), the President's daughters (Elizabeth, Eleanor, and Zoey), and the personal aide to the President (Charlie Young). All make this series, which supposedly follows the political events (often paraphrasing historical reality) almost day by day, more than merely a political soap. The demands of office on each character show the personal sacrifice and the forced compromise of ideals and principles for tactical necessity and allows some insights into many aspects of U.S. society and international politics.
