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!
