Welcome back to the penultimate episode of Season 2 of TPATPAT! This time we’re bringing you back to the far flung land of 2016… Long before the Office Ladies carved their faces into the Mount Rushmore of rewatch podcasts, the modest West Wing Weekly chugged along in the background, for all intents and purposes a “normal” rewatch show, were it not for one of the host’s appearance in Season 4 and beyond of West Wing. While the pandemic proliferated actor-led rewatch podcasts, the West Wing Weekly was ahead of its time, so join us as we review their early episode discussing West Wing S01E05 “The Crackpots and These Women” and see how this early iteration compares to the slew that was to follow. The West Wing Weekly An episode-by-episode discussion of The West Wing, one of television’s most beloved shows, co-hosted by one of its stars, Joshua Malina, along with Hrishikesh Hirway of Song Exploder.
