The Sorkin Series is the newest podcast to join the Hypable lineup. We’re keeping it in the “pilot” phase for now while we test the show out!
This show is dedicated to all things Aaron Sorkin with a particular focus on The Newsroom, which is currently airing on HBO. The show will include the latest news stories concerning Sorkin or The Newsroom, episode analysis, and in-depth character discussions. On future episodes you can expect to hear our hosts discussing other works of Aaron Sorkin, including The West Wing, Sports Night, and The Social Network.
Your regular hosts are some of Hypable’s original content writers, and huge Sorkin fans, Kristina Lintz, Tariq Herzallah and Kristen Kranz, and Hypable’s regular The Newsroom writer Marama Whyte. In this episode they were joined by special guest Richard Reid from Hunger Games Chat.
Show Notes:
–The Newsroom has already been renewed for a second season.
-Sorkin has fired all the writers for season 2, can we blame last week’s Big Foot plot?
-Episode discussion: The Newsroom 1×04 “I’ll Try to Fix You”
-What do we think about the Don/Maggie/Jim/Lisa situation? Richard and Marama are already bored.
-From a different woman every week last episode, Will is suddenly a disaster.
-Kristen thinks it’s unrealistic that Will didn’t know who the TMI reporter was.
-Will is a closet Republican, but is he too liberal?
-Kristina, Kristen and Tariq are Team Jim. Richard and Marama are Team New Storyline.
-Sorkin slaps you across the face with his views and that’s why we like him.
–West Wing parallels: Sloan is the new Donna Moss.
-Everyone absolutely loves the last seven minutes; this is why we watch this show, to see them do the news.
