Ep 151 The West Wing: S2, E11014

August 17, 2026 · 37 min

Show notes

We're recapping Season 2 of The West Wing (episodes 11-14), and somehow this stretch of episodes has it all: a bipartisan breakfast that turns into political warfare, a missile defense test that misses its target by 137 miles, and a State of the Union address with more fallout than the speech itself.

We also go on a few tangents, because that's what we do:

  • Our takes on meeting real-life political figures (and how awkward that can actually be)
  • The most cringe-worthy underwear story you'll hear this week — you'll have to listen to believe it
  • Why the West Wing's fictional administration might be more functional than most real ones

Whether you're a longtime West Wing fan revisiting the series or discovering it for the first time, this episode has the analysis, the tangents, and the "wait, we need to talk about this" moments that make TV recap podcasts fun to listen to.
