From 2016 to 2020, I co-hosted The West Wing Weekly podcast with my friend Josh Malina, who played Will Bailey on The West Wing. We recapped and discussed every episode of the series, and it was a wonderful experience, and it took us places I never imagined, like England, Ireland, and Norway. The podcast was incredibly fun to make, but it was limited by the number of episodes of The West Wing. Well, we decided to reunite and start the podcast again in a new form.

One of the songs I keep coming back to is “Mohabbat” by Arooj Aftab. It’s really special to me. I listen to it all the time. I’ve been listening to it so often that I wanted to revisit Arooj's episode about it. In the time since the episode has come out, she has released a collaborative album with Vijay Iyer and Shahzad Ismaily called Love In Exile, which got two Grammy nominations. And she has a new album that’s about to come out on May 31st, called Night Reign.

Green Day is a punk band from the East Bay in California. Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool have been playing music together since 1987. They’ve sold over 90 million records. They’ve won four Grammys, including twice for Best Rock Album. They put out their first album in 1990, and their second album, Kerplunk!, in 1991. And then, they moved to a major label and in 1994 they put out their third album, Dookie, which was huge. It helped bring punk into the mainstream.
