So obviously a pair of writers who want to knock a way more successful one for the sake of their own ego.

Show rewatch podcasts made by people associated with the show can be problematic because they often avoid criticisms of the show. So, show podcasts made by people not affiliated with the show can be refreshing. This podcast is not. The title of this podcast should be, “I Hate Aaron Sorkin”. ...Read full review »

Annoying. Grating. Just… no.
upperbeachguy via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/25/23
To start, the fact that people come on here to write reviews complaining that Josh and Dave aren’t fans of the WW and feel the need to like warn the public, “be careful, this IS NOT a WW fan podcast” makes me lol. God, WW fans are such nerds. I loved the WWT, but my absolute favorite part is...Read full review »

You might get curious, like I did. Some of the strongest weed I’ve ever had couldn’t make that movie not terrible, and made me hate Boomers even more than I thought possible. Had to watch it in two sittings. I cannot wait to watch Josh’s movie now. Oh yeah, amazing podcast.
@jewessofdoom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/23
1star reviewers seem to ignore the clear examples of racism, misogyny, right wing propaganda, etc that Dave and Josh present, with audio from WW. Ignore their hurt feelings and decide for yourself. Cuz you will never hear these closed minded fans of WW actually argue FOR all the show’s blatant...Read full review »

This could be a better podcast if these guys even understood one inch of politics. They get so much basic things wrong that they come off as even bigger idiots than Aaron sorkin’s dumb show. The west wing isn’t good and this no better. Good concept. Try harder next time.

Probably saved my life. As a small-/tiny-time academic, I worked for a big neoliberal think tank in DC 2019-2020 and it almost killed me--from realizing that neoliberalism will be the death of us and how impossible it will be to break their firm grasp on power. I discovered this pod after I quit...Read full review »

I cried at the beginning of the last podcast. I am so used to my weekly dose of Josh & Dave plus whoever they have on (enjoyed all guests!) I am worried if there is any real break between this intelligent discourse on one of the worst shows ever & their next project… I may go into...Read full review »

The west wing was the world wars and you two are France. You put up such a valiant fight under brutal conditions during the sorkin years that I feel you were left war weary and spent when it came to the Welles blitz. It was a long project and the world changed a lot since it began, no shame in...Read full review »
coursergamrat69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/22
I’m totally confused by all of the “These guys DON’T even LIKE The West Wing!” reviews. That’s the whole THING. I found you late, so I’ve been bingeing and sometimes I worry that it’s negatively impacting my mental health. Dave and Josh and this format bring out fresh and interesting takes from...Read full review »

Josh and Dave perfectly rip one of the most popular TV-shows to shreds. And they are right in doing so. Analysing real world present day politics with the fictional from the series the two, alongside brilliant guests, lay bare what is a huge problem with US political system.
YorDrael via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 07/19/22
Two uninformed and unprepared hosts that clearly don’t know much about TWW. It is easy to see why they are lower tier writers. Be prepared to adjust your volume during a listen…audio production is non existent.
Darth Vaders Fist via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/22
Was trying to explain this show to my father, a huge fan of George Orwell. 2 minutes of hate isn’t nearly enough for me. An extraordinary takedown of neoliberalism and modern American propaganda from the Sorkin songbook. Can’t wait to see what you guys have next.
jakenoodles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/22
I love this show, make sure to listen every week. I hope after they run out of episodes of West Wing they go through the entirety of Deep Space Nine. It would be nice to hear them talk about watching something good.
Archduke of Coffee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/22
This podcast is basically a vehicle for the hosts to discuss their own political views and ride fan interest in The West Wing to score an audience for it. They tell you as much in episode 1 where both hosts pretty flippantly acknowledge neither of them were big fans of the show and stopped...Read full review »

How will I get my Dave and Josh discussing politics and world affairs fix when this season is over????
Nessyvan via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/27/22
I loved the West Wing, faults and all, but these two are a disgrace. The West Wing was a work of FICTION and a show of it’s time. These two make fun of “West Wing Brain”, but seem to think the show was real at the same time. YES, some things on the show don’t hold up with 2022 eyes and ears,...Read full review »
Watcher of Shows via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/22
When they talk about the West Wing, it’s great. But honestly, the Hillary masterclass whatever miniseries made my skin crawl. I’m no fan of Hillary’s politics or a lot of her choices but come on. It was surface level criticism that you might hear at a bar, there was nothing substantive or...Read full review »
McElfresh1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/22
Josh & Dave are hilarious hosts and challenge me to take a more critical view of West Wing. This show has educated me on a lot of political issues while keeping me entertained! My only complaint is the episodes with special guests can feel repetitive because they have very similar...Read full review »

Dear Josh and Dave Please watch the Americans next. The writing is great. The acting is brilliant. The politics are better. The cars and clothes are cool. The directing is superb and there’s only one annoying character who ends up having a fascinating character arc right to the end. Lots of...Read full review »

Where do they come from?? No matter, you’re still my boys. FIVE STARS.

Never seen an episode of the west wing but love this podcast. Adolph Reed rules.

I love your podcast and yes never watched West Wing and never will! You too are brilliant and the guests you have and the music love it. But I couldn’t stand Don’t Look Up and like comedy… like cynicism,dark humor and I didn’t think it was funny and thought the acting sucked! So there you go...Read full review »

Good summary of why this country is going down the toilet.

Definitely my favorite political podcast. Audio production needs some work but content is great. Love the format, and the hosts balance each other perfectly. Great stuff.
gw5k via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/21
"These guys swear too much!" - some dumb nerds. Dave and Josh help me with my self-excoriation for liking TWW as a fledgling idiot liberal decades ago, and for that I stand in solidarity. And the episode where Josh just broke down swearing at how useless Nancy Pelosi is will forever...Read full review »

Probably the best leftist podcast on culture criticism of a liberal sacred cow. Always a treat, never a bore.
Timwriter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/21
Never seen the show. Never need to. This has broken me in a way I didn’t know was possible and I can’t get enough.
skplonk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/21
I really enjoy the show and continue to listen even though I’ve no interest in watching The West Wing. I just wish you guys would swear more.

This podcast, from the writer of a thoroughly boring movie and a man who’s Wikipedia has a section on his plagiarism, made me understand the word butthurt. It also has a long, indulgent and annoying theme song.
JCwasreal via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/02/21
Huge WW fan although I’m a Republican. These guys are vile. Their language is filthy. They can’t go 20 seconds without dropping the F word or the GD word. Tried getting through two episodes, but just couldn’t. I don’t care that they hate republicans or that we disagree politically. The way they...Read full review »

Great podcast! If you are feeling any sort of optimism about the future and have been thinking that everything’s going to be alright, this podcast will fix that in about 10min no problem! Also there’s some stuff about the West Wing in there. Never watched it (before my generation) and after...Read full review »

This used to be entertaining. Now it’s just a guy ranting about how the other suburban dads are mean to him.

Which one of them cant turn off the dinger for text messages?

This is a great show hosted by two very smart people, but for the love of god find the do not disturb button while you are recording. I don’t need to hear every time you get an email.
trashley711 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/21
It’s insightful critique that I like but the audio levels are too quiet and then too loud in a frustrating way. That’s the only problem
winmav via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/28/21
Love the show. I was looking forward to hearing what Thomas Frank had to say but Katie Halper kept cutting him off. She’s usually fine, but have Thomas Frank without her next time if possible.
JSaul1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/28/21
Love it all (except for audio quality and levels going in and out)!

WEST WING BRAIN ALERT: in season 4 ep 6, with the amazing BJG, at approx. 2 hours in a bartlett clip has the line to the leftists about how if they don't like him "they should vote for somebody else" HOW DID NOBODY MAKE THE BIDEN CONNECTION THERE?!?!?!?Read full review »

In the latest episode abu el banat there is like 20-30 mins in the beginning of the show where you can here everyone but Dave. You can tell he is saying stuff because people respond to him but there is a lot of silence and then answers that we don’t have the questions to. Just thought you would...Read full review »
