Capt. Holly Short ,

Every Wingut should listen to this

Really awesome! A great blend of commentary on a truly amazing tv show and critique of the places where it falls short.

Lasombrra ,

Baby come back!

So after trolling a few West Wing groups on Facebook, we didn’t know you were out there! Come back! Make more! We need a good opposition podcast to The West Wing Weekly. A “the show is great but...” which you did well!

AuntDolly ,

Thank you!!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I thought I was the only one who LOVED The West Wing. I have the complete DVD set, and have watched every show at least 6 times. Now I have a reason to watch them again. Thank goodness they're all on Netflix now, and that Netflix is available in Europe (I spend a lot of time there on business). I love Lani's way of thinking, and fell in love with her via her podcast The Scot and the Sassenach. Keep up the EXCELLENT work.
