I love reliving a fantastic show through fresh eyes! Leigh and Fi add so much of their own perspective by comparing US politics to UK/Irish politics, commenting on the fashion and turns of phrase of the day, and deep diving on a new enlightening topic every week. I’ve blasted through the back catalogue and am sad to be caught up because now I only get to listen to one episode a week. Thanks for all you do gals!

United Statesa month ago - 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. It is fascinating to get the real time impressions of the next generation as they watch the show for the first time with their 2025 experiences and bias’s. And for those of us that know what is coming each week, it is a treat to hear new voices discover this show I have loved for 25 years. Can’t recommen... more
Apple Podcasts5Shep1313United States7 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 States8 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

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
