  • 0.06: Hamilton Special (with Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Kail)

    AARON BURR: How does a podcast, web thing, 

    Recap and chat on The West Wing, 
    Dropped on the internet by nostalgic pals
    On a fake President—it makes no sense!
    How do Josh and Hrish, on balance,
    Manage to land two major Broadway talents?
    The two gallants, Lin-Manuel and Tommy Kail,
    Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
    By being a lot smarter, by being self-starters
    By watching Bartlet, who's based a bit on Jimmy Carter
    Well, the word got around that they’re like, "Sorkin is insane, man"
    So we sent a lot of emails till we got into their brainpan:
    "Do a special episode, lend us some acclaim and
    Let's talk about the napkin in the frame."
    Roll the name, son:
    West Wing Weekly Hamilton 
    This thing is West Wing Weekly Hamilton
    There's a million things these guys have won 
    So just hit play, just hit play…

  • 4.19: Angel Maintenance (with Fmr. Acting Secretary of the Air Force Eric Fanning)
