- Take me back to the 00s!
These ladies do such a phenomenal job every week dissecting an episode of this beloved show. As a multiple rewatcher of the series and one old enough to remember watching it in its original run.

United States5 months ago - Best TWW Podcast Out There
I’m beyond ecstatic that I found this podcast. I watched The West Wing when it aired 25 years ago throughout high school and college. When it began being shown in syndication, I watched it whenever I got the chance and then streaming became a thing and I’ve watched it non-stop since. This podcast is the closest I’ve ever come to being able to watch this beloved show for the first time all over again. Leigh and Fi’s earnest reactions are delightful and their insights as they watch 25 years after ... more
Apple Podcasts5JaneEyre24United States6 months ago - Love “The” Queer Gals!!
my daughter recommended your podcast to me and I am loving your sometimes irreverent take on all things West Wing! We often chat about funny comments you have made. The fashion comments always make me go back and look at previously watched episodes. Love it! Equally love the deep dive subjects at the end of the episode review, even as a lifelong American I’m learning many things that I have either forgotten or never fully understood, and I thank you for that.
Being part of the fun you are having... more
Apple Podcasts5Booboe99United States8 months ago - So much fun
I loved the West Wing. While it's somewhat more problematic on rewatch, this is a delightful experience of nostalgia and queer girl glee. Plus it's fun to hear the British and Irish take on US politics from two young queer women
Apple Podcasts5MeledyUnited Statesa year ago - Love you both!
Leigh and Fi have delightful banter and bring wit and laughter to these dark dark times by bringing us back to the 2000s. I appreciate their ability to draw similarities between the WW and today, while keeping us laughing and in love with Alison Janney. Thank you!
