Episode 13 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
In tonight’s podcast, I am joined by Julia and PS as we listen to Episode 18 of the West Wing’s first season, Six Meetings Before Lunch.
When Zoey (Elisabeth Moss) attends a college fraternity party in which one of her friends is busted for using illegal drugs, C.J. (Allison Janney) struggles to keep the embarrassing story out of the press while the White House staff celebrates the confirmation of their nominee, Judge Mendoza (Edward James Olmos, not seen), for the Supreme Court. An uncomfortable Josh (Bradley Whitford) is assigned to talk with the administration’s controversial nominee (Carl Lumbly) for assistant attorney general for civil rights who advocates that African-Americans receive financial reparations for slavery. Elsewhere, Sam (Rob Lowe) crosses swords with Mallory (Allison Smith) over the issue of private school vouchers while Mandy (Moira Kelly) lobbies to secure two new pandas for the National Zoo.
We preemptively apologize for the Julia/Mrs. Landingham ship which continues to saturate our West Wing series. Wicked sorry.
Happy listening!

Episode 12 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
In this extreme edition of Poufwa Exchange, I am joined by Jen Classic and Jen2 as we watch the very first airing of Daybreak Part 2, the breaktaking series finale of BattleStar Galactica.
They don’t call this the best show on television because they’re liars.
With revelations flying at us every single moment, your humble podcasters reserve the right to change their minds’ at a moment’s notice. I’ve already had six “Whoa!” moments post-podcast as I’ve digested what I’ve seen.
No editing again this week, although allowing you to slightly hear the episode in the background and provide context gives the unfortunate impression that you’re at the beach.
The Jen’s also cry all over your stuff.
So say we all!

Episode 11 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released! We’re officially a daily podcast!
In this extreme and unedited edition of the Poufwa Exchange, Jen2 and I record our live and explicit commentary for the first hour of the BattleStar Galactica series finale, Daybreak, Part 1, as we watch for the very first time!
If you DVRed the first run episode, Jen2 and I are most pleased to camp out in lawn chairs and watch it with you.
We hit record five minutes before the preview started, and record straight through the coming attractions.
No editing. Ron Moore would be proud.
We promise not to cry on your stuff. Much.
Happy listening, and we’ll be back next week!

After an extended hiatus, the first season of Poufwa Exchange resumes with the release of Episode 10!
In this episode, Ryan, Julia, and PS resume our Poufwa rewatch of Aaron Sorkin’s, The West Wing, providing commentary on the hysterically poignant first season episode, Celestial Navigation. I refer to it as the one where CJ goes to the dentist and Bill Adama kicks ass, but you may be looking for more?
In a lecture at Georgetown, Josh recalls the previous week at the White House, during which he replaced a dentally impaired C.J. in the press room and gave a memorably disastrous briefing, while Toby and Sam fly to Connecticut and are now lost in a rental car on the Connecticut Turnpike. They’ve gone on critical business: the president’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Roberto Mendoza, was pulled over by the local police for “driving while Hispanic” and refuses to take a sobriety test.
If our laughing gets too loud, turn the TV up. Don’t turn the podcast down! It pisses off Toby.
Happy listening!

Episode 9 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Raesive, Lego, Shoshana, Cody and Apollo sit down and share the experience of watching one of the most intriguing movies inspired by a comic book released in recent times. The troubled and rage filled “V” seeks revenge on the government that destroyed that which he barely knew but loved most, while the cast watches in shock and awe.
Get ready for two hours of awkward silences, bad jokes, off-mic nodding, and even a discussion about the hosts’ pets.
Happy listening!

Episode 8 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
In this episode, Aaron, Sue and I are very pleased to welcome Don S. Lehman to the Exchange! Don is a behind-the-scenes veteran from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and was kind enough to join us for another round of Trek-geeking!
Tonight, we offer a commentary for Deep Space Nine’s Trials and Tribble-ations:
When Temporal Investigations arrives on Deep Space 9, Sisko recounts how he and the crew of the Defiant traveled back in time to the 23rd century to prevent the assassination of Captain James T. Kirk during the original Enterprise’s mission to Space Station K-7.

Episode 6 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released…again!
In this episode, Ryan, Aaron, Kezza, Alicia, and Dan present a commentary for the tremendously layered and well-received tenth episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s third season, The Defector.
The Enterprise grants asylum to a defector from the Romulan Empire.
There’s a bit more to it than that, but you get the idea. In addition to our standard commentary, we also geek out on everything Trek. Novice Dan was seeking a restraining order by the third act and even Kezza didn’t know what to make of Aaron and me. Consider this a warmup for our next Trek Exchange, which will feature a very special guest and super-duper-uber-geeking. Baby steps, kids. Baby steps.
Happy listening!

Episode 5 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
In this episode, Ryan, Julia, Mike, and PS kick off a Poufwa rewatch of Aaron Sorkin’s, The West Wing offering commentary for the popular first season episode, In Excelsis Deo.
Toby tries to arrange a proper funeral for a homeless veteran; Josh and Sam try to set up a preemptive strike against Lillienfield, who is attacking Leo because of his prior drug and alcohol problem; CJ tries to get the staff to revisit the hate crimes issue; Bartlet sneaks out to do some last minute shopping.
In this episode, Julia and Ryan totally geek out on just about everything, PS ships Leo, Mike calls Toby a bastard, and Ryan lunges at him right there on the podcast! We also compare and contrast the characters of Josh and Toby, tell Mandy exactly what we think of her, and bow at the feet of LadyChi Mrs. Landingham.
Happy listening!

Episode 4 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!
Tonight, three Poufwanians give their insight on basically everything in the Twilight series. Over the past couple of years, the Twilight fandom has exploded. Some people compare it to Harry Potter, as we try to do tonight, but there is no comparison — they’re on different levels. As the August 2nd release encroached on us, fans itched for new material from author Stephenie Meyer.
Join Raesive, Rosworms, and Dave as they analyze new material and speculate on what will happen in Breaking Dawn, the last book of Isabella Swan’s story. We analyze previous book cover designs, the Twilight cover font (Zephyr), the quotes from Meyer’s website. At the end, the hosts predict what will happen in the upcoming book. (This was recorded on the Monday before the book release.)
Happy listening, and if you’d like to participate, visit our forum!
