Madam Vice President

Happy season 3 premiere everyone!!! I am so stoked to dive into this season with a truly iconic slate of guests. To start things off, my friend Kate Scelsa (@kate.scelsa) and I are discussing episode 1 "Some New Beginnings."

Selina navigates her book tour with the help of one Richard Splett while her team tries to remain present at Mike's wedding. Jonah's "gossip-tainment" blog wreaks havoc on the White House and results in the beginning of his villain origin story.

Check out Kate's work on her website and give her a follow on IG to keep up with her new releases!

Eeeek we've made it to the end of season 2! I'm joined today by actor, writer, and sometimes comedian Stephen Brower (@stephenbrower) to recap the finale of Veep season 2 titled "D.C." which, as Selina says, stands for "District of C*nts". Selina prepares to throw in the towel but receives news that could alter the course of her and her team's careers.

Thank you to everyone who has listened to the pod for all of your incredible support! I'm so excited for what's to come with season 3 and hope you'll continue tuning in. <3

This week I got to chat with stand up comedian and former political staffer Nick Hornedo (@nick.hornedo) to discuss season 2 episode 9 "Running". Along with recapping the episode, Nick gives us some first-hand experiences working as a staffer on Pete Buttigieg's campaign and how scarily accurate Veep's portrayal of DC politics continues to be.

See you next week for the SEASON 2 FINALE!!!! xoxo

DISCLAIMER: the audio got a bit wonky as we were recording, so it isn't the cleanest. But I have some new gear on the way, so get ready for future episodes to be better than ever!

Madam Vice President Pod fan-favorite Shelby Solla (@shelbysolla) is back to discuss season 2 episode 7 "Shutdown". Selina and her unfurloughed team attempt to navigate a government shutdown while she feels the pressure of POTUS potentially picking a different running mate when he's up for reelection. Dan explores some other DC opportunities. Gary is just trying to help. Mike is still in debt.

As I mention at the top of the pod, this episode was released in April of 2013 and heavily focuses on the conflict in the Middle East. Over 10 years later, this conflict has turned into a full on genocide that we bear witness to each day. Of course, it's VEEP, so the content is heavily satirized, but if you don't wish to listen, please do whatever you need to do to protect your peace of mind.
