3.00: Isaac and Ishmael (with Ajay Naidu and Fmr Press Secretary Mike McCurry)

This is a controversial episode of The West Wing, and one that falls outside the regular storyline of the show. We hash out our conflicting opinions on it to find some common ground. We're also joined by Ajay Naidu to discuss his role as Rakim Ali. And we talk to former White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry, who is now a Professor of Theology; in the spirit of this episode, it's a Jew, an atheist, and a Methodist having a conversation about religion, politics, and pluralism. thewestwingweekly.com/episodes/300 Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
