About this listen

 When former California Governor James "Jimmy" Bennett stars in a hit streaming drama about seizing political power, he never expects fiction to bleed into reality.

"Acting President" follows Bennett as his former Chief of Staff approaches him with a shocking proposal—to implement a real-world version of his television show's controversial storyline. As the lines between entertainment and political maneuvering blur, Bennett finds himself caught in a dangerous game with the highest possible stakes.

When unexpected events in Washington coincide with the airing of the show's pivotal episode, mass confusion ensues as the public assumes it's brilliant viral marketing. Eight episodes of political intrigue, media manipulation, and one man's impossible choice between personal ambition and democratic principles.Caloroga Shark Media Art Drama & Plays

    On the day of the military parade and "The Insurgent" episode six premiere, Bennett discovers non-military personnel operating Pantheon-branded vehicles that break formation to secure key government positions. When he steps to the podium at the Lincoln Memorial to address thousands of fans gathered for the screening, Bennett makes the momentous decision to abandon his prepared remarks and warn the public about the real coup unfolding behind the entertainment facade. But before he can finish, his microphone is cut and security personnel escort him from the stage as the crowd watches in confusion, unable to distinguish whether they're witnessing a marketing stunt or a genuine constitutional crisis.

    After learning of Vice President Evans' mysterious hospitalization while President Stillman remains stranded in Rome, Bennett is summoned to a secretive meeting with Speaker Hendricks and other high-ranking officials. There, he discovers they're planning what they call a "constitutional course correction" in response to a supposed leadership vacuum. When Pantheon announces a massive "Course Correction Day" event to coincide with the military parade celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary, Bennett realizes his TV show has become the perfect cover for something far more sinister. As Pantheon-branded military vehicles take suspicious positions around Washington, Bennett finds himself implicated in a conspiracy he never agreed to join, reaching a point where he must either become complicit or risk everything to expose the truth.

    In the wake of his viral podcast appearance with Joe Reynolds, Bennett finds himself caught in increasingly disturbing parallels between his TV show and reality. As "Course Correction" rallies spread organically across the nation, Pantheon News Channel subtly shifts its coverage to highlight Bennett's popularity over President Stillman's administration. When Bennett discovers military vehicles bearing Pantheon logos preparing for the upcoming Army celebration parade, he must decide whether to continue playing along with what he increasingly suspects is more than just marketing. Meanwhile, Garrett Fisher's podcast explores the uncanny similarities between the latest episode of "The Insurgent" and real-world events, leaving listeners wondering where entertainment ends and reality begins.
