  • 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

  • So much fun

    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

  • Love you both!

    Leigh and Fi have delightful banter and bring wit and laughter to these dark dark times by bringing us back to the 2000s. I appreciate their ability to draw similarities between the WW and today, while keeping us laughing and in love with Alison Janney. Thank you!

  • Wowza! These girls are a great listen

    I am a compulsive wing nut for decades. I own the 7 season DVD series, slightly embarrassed. I run the show in the background when I am baking and doing other chores. I am so glad to have found Lee and Fiona. What a brilliant podcast. I very much appreciate it when the hosts verbally act out some scenes, wonderful!!

    And they love the cast and appreciate the characters as much as I.

    Thank you! I would love to be in the room with the girls when they broadcast, but it would be difficult not b... more
