Introducing: Home Cooking

We want to introduce you to a brand new emergency quarantine podcast mini-series called Home Cooking. It?s from Hrishi and chef Samin Nosrat, author of the award-winning cookbook Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, and host of the Netflix show by the same name. The first episode just came out, and features Josh as the special guest. If you?ve missed hearing Josh and Hrishi in conversation, we thought you?d appreciate this excerpt. The rest of the episode centers around giving people advice about what to cook with whatever they?ve got in the house, and we think you?ll really enjoy it! Listen and subscribe to Home Cooking on your favorite podcast app, or at homecooking.show.

In this week's episode, Toby says, "You should do the crossword," so Hrishi made a mini puzzle to go along with our discussion. Get a PDF of the puzzle at thewestwingweekly.com/715.

7. __ chunks, like when you eat way too much candy

DOWN
1. POTUS?s rap name, maybe
2. The room where it happens

How did Santos and Vinick do in the debate? To help us judge the candidates on both substance and style, we?ve enlisted the people in charge of debate prep on either side of the 2012 Presidential election. Ronald Klain led President Obama?s debate prep, and Beth Myers was in charge of Senator Mitt Romney?s prep. It was fascinating to speak to both of them together for this bipartisan episode of our podcast.

At long last, everyone is ready to unleash their negative ad campaigns. Here's one Hrishi came up with. JOSH MALINA?he's not nearly as mean as he makes himself out to be! He says he "ruined The West Wing," but even Richard Schiff says 'Arctic Radar' is one of the best episodes of the series. What else is Josh hiding? JOSH MALINA?actually pretty nice.

Gary also plays Kent Davison in the brilliant, vicious, hilarious Veep, so we decided to celebrate two great(?) Vice Presidents in one episode. It's a Veep special! We're also joined by Veep showrunner David Mandel, a huge West Wing fan, to talk about where these two very different, political, Emmy-winning shows intersect.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the DNC,
The delegate tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of democracy is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity. 
With special guest, Jennifer Palmieri.

0.13: Graphic Design for President! (with Michael Bierut and Leslie Wah)

When you?re running for President, how you present yourself to the public is crucial. The West Wing often underscored that it?s not just what one says, it?s how one says it. So in this special episode, we look at what goes into designing a Presidential campaign ? both fictional, and non-fictional. Michael Bierut designed Hillary Clinton?s ubiquitous 'H' logo, and Leslie Wah designed the logos and signage for all of the West Wing candidates in Season 6. This might be the nerdiest episode of the West Wing Weekly yet!
