The West Wing Weekly is an American podcast hosted by Hrishikesh Hirway and Joshua Malina. In each episode, the hosts discuss one episode of the popular television program The West Wing, which originally aired on NBC from 1999 to 2006. The podcast has featured various cast and crew members including series creator Aaron Sorkin, director Tommy Schlamme, series actors Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe, Bradley Whitford, Richard Schiff, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Marlee Matlin, and Dulé Hill, longtime series writer-producers Eli Attie and Lawrence O'Donnell, and many former government officials, academics, and pundits, among others.
Role : Production Assistant
I conducted and provided ~5 page research packages ahead of each discussion for the hosts. I provided notes on the content of each West Wing episode, information about the featured actors and writers, and the real-life historical context for the events in the episode. I also helped book guests for the show which included various cast and crew and other members. Additionally I wrote ad copy for the ads which aired on the show, along with editing/recording them for broadcast.
