FLASHBACK - The American President

NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS | By Ryan Lootens

Published November 30, 2020 at 5:06 PM CST

FLASHBACK is closing out our November by taking a nostalgic look back at the 1995 Aaron Sorkin drama The American President. The template for what would become The West Wing boasts an amazing cast but does it really still have something to teach us about politics today? Our crew breaks it all down!

FEATURING: Ryan Lootens, Jay Hoffman & Craig McFarland
