Remember Shuffle
Remember the 2000s? A podcast about the dumbest decade in western history. So dumb most of it passed right through us without leaving us anything to think about, until now! We look at the most popular movies, subcultures, political movements, books, and video games of the decade and wonder what made them so popular to audiences in the 2000s, and how their legacy can still be seen today.

The West Wing: E89 The White Potus
We finally did it. We lib out for 90 minutes to the first two seasons of Aaron Sorkin’s most successful project: The West Wing. A centrist liberal projection of an idealized America in the year 2000. We break out our characters, and do a deep dive on Somebody’s going to emergency, somebody’s going to Jail, In Excelsis Dio, and Shiboleth. And then wrap up by trying to identify the very difficult question of “just what exactly does the Bartlett administration stand for anyway?”Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.
