Podcast appearances and mentions of jed bartlet

His name was Rab. He died in Bengal, the land of tigers, in 1941. On his way out the door, he said, “Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.”When Rab was sixteen, he published a book of poetry under the pseudonym Bhānusiṃha, which means “Sun Lion.” Those poems were seized upon by literary authorities as “long-lost classics.”Where do you hurry with your basketthis late evening when the marketing is over?They all have come home with their burdens;The moon peeps from above the village trees.The echoes of the voices calling for the ferryrun across the dark water to the distant swampwhere wild ducks sleep.Where do you hurry with your basketwhen the marketing is over?Sleep has laid her fingersupon the eyes of the earth.The nests of the crows have become silent,and the murmurs of the bamboo leaves are silent.The labourers home from their fieldsspread their mats in the courtyards.Where do you hurry with your basketwhen the marketing is over?Rab wrote this in 1913,Free me from the bonds of your sweetness, my love!No more of this wine of kisses.This mist of heavy incense stifles my heart.Open the doors, make room for the morning light.I am lost in you, wrapped in the folds of your caresses.Free me from your spells, and give me back the manhoodto offer you my freed heart.Famous for his role as President Jed Bartlet, Martin Sheen spoke several months ago at a White House event celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the debut of “The West Wing” on television. He wrapped up his short speech by reciting a poem that Rab had written more than 100 years earlier.Where the mind is without fear and the head is held highWhere knowledge is freeWhere the world has not been broken up into fragmentsBy narrow domestic wallsWhere words come out from the depth of truthWhere tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfectionWhere the clear stream of reason has not lost its wayInto the dreary desert sand of dead habitWhere the mind is led forward by theeInto ever-widening thought and actionInto that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.Rab knew that you and I would be here today, and he left us a message.Who are you, reader,reading my poems a hundred years hence?I cannot send you one single flowerfrom this wealth of the spring,one single streak of gold from yonder clouds.Open your doors and look abroad.From your blossoming gardengather fragrant memories of the vanished flowersof a hundred years before.In the joy of your heart may you feelthe living joy that sang one spring morning,sending its glad voice across a hundred years.Rab – Rabindranath Tagore – was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.He was the first non-European ever to win a Nobel Prize.Roy H. WilliamsNOTE FROM INDY: Speaking of Martin Sheen, his name has recently been mentioned in association with the book, “When Rabbis Bless Congress: The Great American Story of Jewish Prayers on Capitol Hill.” Aroo.A timber-framed cottage was built in Frog Holt, England, in the year 1450.

The date: September 20th, 2024… The place: The White House Rose Garden…. The speaker: actor Martin Sheen.. “You know, the Irish tell the story of a man who arrives at the gates of heaven and asks to be let in. Saint Peter says, ‘Of course. Just show us your scars.' The man says, ‘I have no scars.' Saint Peter says ‘What a pity. Was there nothing worth fighting for?'

What's Next: A Backstage Pass to The West Wing, Its Cast and Crew, and Its Enduring Legacy of Service by Melissa Fitzgerald, Mary McCormack https://amzn.to/3Xk13P9 A behind-the-scenes look into the creation and legacy of The West Wing as told by cast members Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack, with compelling insights from cast and crew exploring what made the show what it was and how its impassioned commitment to service has made the series and relationships behind it endure. Step back inside the world of President Jed Bartlet's Oval Office with Fitzgerald and McCormack as they reunite the West Wing cast and crew in a lively and colorful “backstage pass” to the timeless series. This intimate, in-depth reflection reveals how The West Wing was conceived, and spotlights the army of people it took to produce it, the lifelong friendships it forged, and the service it inspired. From cast member origin stories to the collective cathartic farewell on the show's final night of filming, What's Next will delight readers with on-set and off-camera anecdotes that even West Wing superfans have never heard. Meanwhile, a deeper analysis of the show's legacy through American culture, service, government, and civic life underscores how the series envisaged an American politics of decency and honor, creating an aspirational White House beyond the bounds of fictional television. What's Next revisits beloved episodes with fresh, untold commentary; compiles poignant and hilarious stories from the show's production; highlights initiatives supported by the cast, crew, and creators; and makes a powerful case for competent, empathetic leadership, hope, and optimism for whatever lies ahead.

This is our unabridged interview with Martin Sheen. In this episode, Lee sits down with the former President of the United States… At least, that's how many listeners may know Martin Sheen, an award-winning actor known for his roles in “Apocalypse Now” and “The Departed,” and perhaps most famously for playing President Jed Bartlet in the hit TV series “The West Wing.” But offscreen, Martin is perhaps best described as an ardent Catholic peace activist who has been arrested over 60 times. In this episode, he tells his whole story, full of humor and grace all the way from his childhood, to his acting career, to activism alongside James Lawson and John Dear, and much more.

When your intuitive mind senses a pattern and begins to search for the completion of that pattern, we call this, “curiosity”. But sometimes our searching for the completion of a pattern goes sideways, takes a shortcut, gets it wrong. The false logic that springs to mind as a result of this wrong turn is so common that it has a Latin name, “Post Hoc, ergo Propter Hoc.” Blame Isaac Newton. Newton taught us to think of cause and effect as sequential: a pool cue strikes a ball, which strikes another ball. As a result of our trust in Newtonian physics, the often-wrong logic of Post Hoc ergo Propter Hoc is almost irresistibly seductive because it begins with the observation that two events occurred in sequence. Remember a TV show called The West Wing? Jed Bartlet: C.J., on your tombstone it's going to say Post Hoc ergo Propter Hoc. C.J.: Okay, but none of my visitors are going to be able to understand my tombstone. Jed Bartlet: It means, “One thing follows the other, therefore it was caused by the other.” But it's not always true. In fact, it's hardly ever true. We did not lose Texas because of the hat joke. Do you know when we lost Texas? C.J.: When you learned to speak Latin? Do you remember The Big Bang Theory? In a 2009 episode, Sheldon Cooper was speaking to his mother on the phone: “The Arctic expedition was a remarkable success, I'm all but certain there's a Nobel prize in my future. Actually, I shouldn't say that. I'm entirely certain… (audience laughter) No, Mother, I could not feel your church group praying for my safety… (audience laughter) The fact that I'm home safe does not prove that it worked. That logic is Post Hoc ergo Propter Hoc… (audience laughter) No, I'm not sassing you in Eskimo talk.” Similar to “Post Hoc” is the broken logic of simultaneous occurrences, Cum Hoc ergo Propter Hoc, “With this, because of this.” “The bigger a child's shoe size, the better the child's handwriting. Therefore, having big feet makes it easier to write.” The mental sleight-of-hand of “Post Hoc” and “Cum Hoc” are what make advertising – and conspiracy theories ­– so easy to believe. @WardQNormal writes, “The trouble with conspiracy theories is that a lack of evidence is taken as proof that the conspiracy is everywhere. This is like thinking that the reason you never see elephants hiding up in treetops is because they're good at it.” Seeing patterns where they don't exist can be costly and dangerous. But still, I am wildly in favor of curiosity.Zora Neale Hurston wrote, “Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.” Albert Einstein said, “Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.” Gemma Stone, “When we enter a conversation with curiosity, we allow ourselves to see things differently and to be surprised by what we discover.” Tom Robbins, “Curiosity, especially intellectual inquisitiveness, is what separates the truly alive from those who are merely going through the motions.” Dorothy Parker, “The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.” And none other than Daniel Boone – yes, THAT Daniel Boone – said, “Curiosity is natural to the soul of man and interesting objects have a powerful influence on our affections.” Like I said, I am wildly in favor of curiosity. If I could, I would inject it into your arm with a needle. Curiosity will take you on trips like no other drug. Roy H. Williams

Al Gore og Jed Bartlet var presidentene USA aldri hadde. Gore vant kanskje Florida, mens «Presidenten» Bartlet sørget for at Martin Sheen vant en Golden Globe. Bak dem begge sto Eli Attie, henholdsvis som taleskriver og episodeforfatter. Han forteller Gjermund om sine favorittserier, om Biden og sin bestekamerat Blinken, og om hvem fra Det hvite hus som ville passet inn i «The West Wing» i dag. Hør episoden i appen NRK Radio

We're joined by Bernie Sanders' foreign policy advisor to explain why Aaron Sorkin's handling of the genocide in Rwanda is less brilliant than you might think. Plus -  Jed Bartlet, Contra-lover!

Au reconfinement s’est ajouté les élections présidentielles américaines. Ces deux événements ont suffit pour reporter l’épisode qui devait être dédié à La Trilogie du Samedi au profit d’un épisode plus classique (bien qu'enregistré à distance) sur The West Wing.  Ajoutons que le Grand-Œuvre d’Aaron Sorkin a (enfin) atterri sur une plateforme de streaming (MyCanal) et que sa dernière création, Les Sept de Chicago, est maintenant dispo sur Netflix. Ce concours de circonstances a permi d’improviser cet épisode en compagnie de nouvelles voix que je suis immensément fier de réunir à cette antenne : Emmanuel, ex-rédacteur sur Comicsblog, animateur du podcast Le Coin Pop et de ses émissions dérivées : After Watchmen, Le Quadrant Pop, Tales from the Sewer Pauline, journaliste et critique de cinéma, créatrice du podcast Sorociné, membre du syndicat de la critique de Cinéma et du comité de la Semaine de la Critique pour le Festival de Cannes Renaud, scénariste, rédacteur en chef du site Cinématraque, professeur à l’INA et comédien au sein de la troupe de théâtre Les Wonderbiches Robert / Bob, scénariste pour le cinéma et le jeu vidéo, rédacteur pour Rockyrama notamment et curateur du compte Twitter Bay Perfect Shot Ensemble, pendant près de 3 heures, on a tenté d’expliquer tout l’amour qu’on avait pour ce show qui déborde d’humanisme, pour ses personnages si attachants… et pourquoi c’est l’une des meilleure série au monde.

Fun Fact: I (Josh) was about a week and a half into a horrible, undiagnosed head injury that was causing me to lose my mind at the time of recording the intro to this episode WAAAY back in June. Shortly after that I crashed for several months... Still recovering a bit (seriously, if you ever hit your head, get it checked out right away)... Steph and Jack are busy raising that baby of theirs... but most importantly we've started production on our next podcast which we're all really excited to start releasing some time next year! So this project's going to continue to be released on a "Ehhh... we'll see you when we see you" basis.Anyway, in this one, I think we might have talked about how nobody goes to church anymore anyway and in turn, A LOT of middle America's relationship with religion in our lifetime. Other than that... What happened on Silicon Valley last season (it was still relevant at the time) and President Jed Bartlet's of the West Wing's trusted best friend and groundskeeper.

We needed that week off. Seems like everyone's got a podcast side gig now. Toby's hosting Radio Free Dystopia, Kevin's making an appearance on Jed Bartlet is My President, and Rebecca is a new permanent panelist on Slate's Mom and Dad Are Fighting. Rebecca didn't get verified on Twitter and she's PISSED! In a true crime podcast update podcast update, we'll give our take on how the experts from Real Crime Profile used their profiling skills on John B. McLemore from S-town. For a character who's so beloved, the enumeration of his less-than-desirable traits has stirred lots of feelings. At the intersection of entertainment and suicide lies Netflix's "13 Reasons Why," the most controversial series of the year. Great acting, interesting plot, but is possible to tackle teen suicide in a way that doesn't make the problem worse? Despite earnest intentions to make the show a conversation-starter, there remain legit concerns that the series irreparably sends the wrong message. In essence, everything that makes 13 Reason great are what also what makes it dangerous. In the crime of the week: beware the sniper cat.
