AARON BURR: How does a podcast, web thing,
Recap and chat on The West Wing,
Dropped on the internet by nostalgic pals
On a fake President—it makes no sense!
How do Josh and Hrish, on balance,
Manage to land two major Broadway talents?
The two gallants, Lin-Manuel and Tommy Kail,
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder

West Wing Weekly Hamilton
This thing is West Wing Weekly Hamilton
There's a million things these guys have won
So just hit play, just hit play…
