AARON BURR: How does a podcast, web thing,\xa0
\nRecap and chat on\xa0The West Wing,\xa0
\nDropped on the internet by nostalgic pals
\nOn a fake President\u2014it makes no sense!
\nHow do Josh and Hrish, on balance,
\nManage to land two major Broadway talents?
\nThe two gallants, Lin-Manuel and Tommy Kail,
\nGot a lot farther by working a lot harder
\nBy being a lot smarter, by being self-starters
\nBy watching Bartlet, who's based a bit on Jimmy Carter
\nWell, the word got around that they\u2019re like, "Sorkin is insane, man"
\nSo we sent a lot of emails till we got into their brainpan:
\n"Do a special episode, lend us some acclaim and
\nLet's talk about the napkin in the frame."
\nRoll the name, son:
\nWest Wing Weekly Hamilton\xa0
\nThis thing is West Wing Weekly Hamilton
