Podcasts about West Wing

Our old pal Tom Sexton stops by to say a find farewell, and we force him to watch another episode of the fucking West Wing. This is the one where Donna finallty acts on all those years of abuse and misogyny and.... for fuck's sake, are you kidding?  Hey, did you hear about Roe? That happened after we recorded this. Sorry.

Molly Smith Metzler spent 15 years writing plays before stepping into television work. Around 2015, she got a job on an HBO limited series from Director Steve McQueen, which unfortunately wasn't picked up. As a writer, Metzler is known for working on Orange is the New Black, Casual, Shameless, and Maid, where she's also the creator. In Maid, the story follows Alex Russell (Margaret Qualley) as she tries to flee an abusive relationship with Sean Boyd (Nick Robinson). As a young mother, she finds work cleaning houses and tries to provide for her child despite the odds being stacked against her. In this interview, Metzler talks about her transition into television, her advice for climbing the ladder in television, advice from John Wells (ER, The West Wing), and how she pitched such a difficult subject matter to Netflix.

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 82nd episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings. For this installment, titled "Expanding My Mystical Center," my Fuzzy Feature highlights the pilot episode of Ryan Murphy's "Glee." After some soul-searching, I have determined, 82 episodes in, Ryan Murphy's works represent a third chakra at the mystical center of my media collection, that challenge now designated as "Studio Murphy Under." I explore several cross connections through "Glee" and other Ryan Murphy productions, as well as several movies and shows I watched in my classic and current collections, including Greta Garbo in 1933's "Queen Christina," and through the 1960 Korean language film "The Housemaid."  In my Classic Collection (VHS-to-DVD), comments on Tim Roth's "Funny Games" from 2007, "Drop Dead Diva," catalog debuts for "Glee," "Drawn Together" and "Vampire Diaries." Also, "Alias," "Warehouse 13," "Medium," "Eureka," "Prison Break," "Mad Men," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Rescue Me." Tracking information from an episode of "Six Feet Under" I found out they made a TV movie of "Fargo" starring Edie Falco and I am excited to track that down, along with indie film "In a World" and maybe 2005's "Bobby." Also, Bravo's presentation of Madonna's "Confessions" tour in Wembley Stadium from August 2007. In my Current Collection (direct-to-DVD), I watched Elizabeth Taylor in "The Night Watch," "Butterfield 8" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." I watched "The Apartment," "Harper," "Ragdoll," "Hotel Rwanda," "Malcolm X," "Antebellum," "The Raven," "Hotel Artemis," "Den of Thieves" "Gigi," "Carmen Jones," "Brigadoon," "The Thief of Bagdad," "Citizen Kane," "Executive Suite," "Queen Christina," "The Housemaid," "Knives Out," "Better Call Saul" and "Kung Fu." In What I've Been Watching, I checked out Michelle Yeoh in "Everything Everywhere All At Once," "Free Guy," "The Crazy Ones" and Amazon's reboot of "The Kids in the Hall." This segues directly into my streaming activities, including "Mrs. Brown's Boys," "Shakespeare & Hathaway," Hugh Laurie's Britbox adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Why Didn't They Ask Evans?" and "The Ipcriss Files" on AMC+. Also, check out a podcast by Caroline Crampton called "Shedunnit," which came to me highly recommended by "All About Agatha" co-host Kemper Donovan and I heartly agree. She'll be making an appearance shortly on "All About Agatha," and both are well worth a listen. I celebrate five years of VideoFuzzy with a Zoom interview I conducted in March with actor, writer and host of "The Reduced Shakespeare Podcast," Austin Tichenor. He shared comments on appearances and experiences with shows in my collection including "Close to Home," "The West Wing," "Nip/Tuck" and "The Practice." My thanks to Austin Tichenor both for his time, and for the care he brings to the characters he creates and brings to life. Finally, I make my Bismarck stage debut as the nutty Dr. Caius in Director Erin Weichel's adaptation of William Shakespeare's "The Merry Wives of Windsor" for Capitol Shakespeare, now in its 15th year. The show goes up July 20-24 at 7 p.m. near the North Dakota Heritage Center. Admission is free; a freewill offering is collected. Come out and enjoy the show!

Overview This has to be the greatest highlight of doing this podcast. I got to talk to Armin Shimerman - he of Quark fame from Star Trek DS9. This man is definitely a national treasure. He's a Shakespearean rhetoric scholar, teaches at USC and works with at risk youth. We discuss his book series which is an Edwardian historical novel that uses the characters from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night to weave a masterful tale. This man is so much beyond the characters we know him from and this interview is worth the listen for the knowledge he passes along. ------------------------------- On November 5, 2022, renown stage and television actor Armin Shimerman will release the final book of his historical trilogy, Illyria. Until then, readers are invited to enter the world he created – occupied by familiar and fantastic characters of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night – with a new bundle of the first two books in the series available through Jumpmaster Press.The series opens with Betrayal of Angels. Doctor John Dee is an Elizabethan mathematician, cryptographer, mystic, and The Queen's conjurer. He is commissioned by Her Majesty's spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham, to uncover treason, reveal terrorists, and unveil threats to The Crown by a young Count who governs Illyria, an island in the English Channel. Dr. Dee is accosted by a teen playwright, William, who solicits the renowned scholar's mentorship, which results in an unlikely collaboration to sleuth out sedition on Illyria.The saga continues in book two, A Sea of Troubles. While John Dee investigates the loyalty of a Catholic nobleman on Illyria, he must overcome legal and reputational worries at home Meanwhile, his exiled young assistant William becomes more entangled with the people and the prejudices of the island, including an arranged marriage that is not to his liking. Who is to be believed and who is to be trusted in a time of shifting loyalties?“If you've ever wondered how a relatively unschooled William Shakespeare became the best writer of the English language, and if you've been intrigued by movies and books about the Elizabethan era, The Illyria Trilogy is my response to you. The era and its magic, its politics, its theater, its people, its superstitions, and its cruelty; swirl into that all the characters from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night including the actual man who was the prototype for Prospero in The Tempest. I know the time travel will inspire and entertain," said Armin. “... delightful book … Shimerman creates a charming …wonderful tale ...”Mike LoMonico Institute Director - Folger Shakespeare Library"What a treat to discover that such a remarkable actor would be an equally remarkable writer. “Betrayal of Angels,” … One hell of a story (and storyteller). I impatiently wait for the last two installments.”Rick Berman, Star Trek Executive Producer  “Shimerman's fact-packed, historical adventure [is a] … must read … He had me at the first word …”Scott Carter Emmy-nominated TV producer About Armin A veteran of stage and screen, Armin is widely known for his portrayal of Quark on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Principal Snyder on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Other credits include notable appearances on TV shows from Hill Street Blues and The West Wing to CSI and dozens of others. His voice has been heard in many animated shows and popular game series such as Ratchet & Clank and BioShock. Armin is a renown stage actor, having performed on Broadway and stages across the country. He is also a Shakespeare scholar and teacher, theatre arts lecturer, and former Associate Artistic Director of the Antaeus Theatre Company in Los Angeles.

Live from the No Panic Zone—I'm Steve Gruber—I am America's Voice—God Bless America—God Bless You and let's do this! This is the Steve Gruber show— And I'm here to flush out the lying politicians—the tech giants—and the babbling herd of sheep—   Here are three big things you need to know right now—   ONE— A band of radical White Supremacists are rounded up and arrested in Idaho—as they were planning an attack on a gay pride rally—they were found hiding in a rented panel truck by state police—   TWO— Home Depot wins in court—after it told employees they could not wear black lives matter shirts and other such politically charged symbols while on the clock—   THREE— Gas is over $5 a gallon for the national average— in fact today the new all-time record high set again—at $5.02—Diesel is $5.75 AND – California is almost $6.50 on average—and 5 more states are closing in on $6 a gallon for statewide averages— and that is just the beginning—   Inflation is higher than is than it's been for more than a generation— the 8.6% year over year mark is the worst it's been since December of 1981—when the economy was trying to climb out of the failed policies of Democrat President Jimmy Carter—   But unlike late 1981— the inflation rate today shows no signs of slowing down any time soon—but instead appears to be picking up speed as the socialist policies of the Biden White House are imploding on top of ordinary Americans and their families— While wages are going up—all of those gains are being wiped out by skyrocketing prices just about everywhere you look— And the worst part is—helpless Joe Biden and his band of nitwits in the West Wing—seem determined to keep on the same course—no matter who gets hurt or how badly—    In fact, for millions of Americans today—this is something they have never seen before—and it's something they don't like—this is Joe Biden's America—circa 2022—   What we are witnessing in the United States is the Great Re-Set but its not the one imagined by The World Economic Forum—or by the pontificating windbags behind the doors of the teachers lounges or the ranting professors lecturing us all on the dangers of whiteness and the alleged rise of domestic terror under the flag of white supremacy—   No The Great Re-Set we are seeing in America is a hunger for the freedoms laid out in The Constitution—a flat out across the board rejection of socialists—socialism and the entire Big Brother government machine—   Americans of all backgrounds—all colors—all creeds—all levels of education—all religions—all of us are collectively joining together in ever larger groups—rejecting the statist mentality of the left wing Democrats—   We are saying no to Joe Biden—No to Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, Ilhan Omar, George Soros, Merrick Garland, Barack Obama, Michael Moore and all the rest of the loudmouth big government windbags that want to secure their own power and wealth by stealing yours—   American is resetting—to the principals of the founding fathers—   We are rejecting open borders and war without end—we are saying no to building other nations while out own citizens are suffering—   We are saying no to exploding gas prices and failing energy policies we are saying no to every damned bit of it—   We re preparing for a great re-set—and right now my number of GOP seats picked up in the House of Representatives is 58—yes—that is far more than anyone else is willing to tell you—BUT I do the homework and I can do the math—58 is my number right now—   In the Senate the pickup is 5—which is also more than anyone else will tell you—because they quite honestly don't have the balls to tell it to you straight—   The Great Re-Set is coming alright and its coming in two parts—first in 22 and the next chapter in 24—when 7 more seats in the senate will go red—along with more House seats—   There are so many reasons that less than 18 months in—Joe Biden's Presidency is effectively over already—

What if the most serious personal and global challenges won't be solved with more thinking or talking?Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz take us on an unlikely journey—from the West Wing of the White House to San Quentin's death row; from Ivy League brain research laboratories to underground psychedelic circles; from the temperate rainforests of Olympic National Park to the main stage at a heavy metal festival—to explore the meaning and importance of silence and the art of finding it in any situation.Golden is a field guide to getting beyond the noise—not just the noise in our ears, but also on our screens and in our heads. Drawing on lessons from neuroscience, business, spirituality, politics, and the arts, Marz and Zorn explore why auditory, informational, and internal silence is essential for physical health, mental clarity, ecological sustainability, and vibrant community. They show how to go beyond the ordinary rules and tools of mindfulness to help individuals, families, organizations, and whole societies dial down the noise and find pristine attention.In this engaging and unexpected rethinking of the meaning of quiet, Marz and Zorn make the bold and convincing argument that we can repair our world by reclaiming the presence of silence in our lives.Get Golden Here: Amazon US Amazon AUS Pre-order my new book 'The Path of an Eagle: How To Overcome & Lead After Being Knocked Down'.

It only takes a moment watching the news to learn what David Gergen already knows: our current leaders have failed us. In some ways, it isn't their fault; growing up during the Vietnam conflict, many of our leaders grew up in a deeply partisan country and have led from that divisive position. However, Gergen, who served not one but FOUR US presidents...from both parties (Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Clinton), believes that our youth CAN be great leaders. How? We'll chat with him today about leadership, service, and how you could be the person who helps many around you stack more Benjamins. In our headline segment, both Jamie Dimon at JP Morgan Chase and Elon Musk are clanging the warning bell that bad times are ahead. Should you be worried? OG has opinions...and it probably isn't what you think. We'll also throw out the Haven Life line and tackle some of Doug's amazing trivia. Just another average day (you know...with a dude who's overseen and advised the making of The West Wing...) of the Stacking Benjamins Show. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

On this Thursday edition of Bernie & Sid in the Morning, the guys react to the verdict coming out of the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial. The jury ruled in Depp's favor, requiring that Heard pay him $15 million in damages. Bernie & Sid make it known that while they don't care much about this trial or its outcome, the internet was absolutely obsessed with it. Quite the distraction from all the news in the world that actually affects our daily lives. Bernie does point out, though, that the verdict is one of the signs pointing toward the fall of woke culture in our society. Depp's victory tells us that the "Me Too" movement is a thing of the past, and other liberal woke ideals may follow suit in the near future. In other news of the day, the Rangers dominated the Tampa Bay Lightning for a Game 1 victory last night in the Eastern Conference final, Sid gets ready for his appearance on Bravo's "Below Deck," Pride Month is already everywhere you look, Joe Rogan thanks Fox News for having his back, the baby formula shortage causing chaos in the West Wing, and Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilee takes place today in London. All of this and so much more on today's edition of Bernie & Sid in the Morning. As always, make sure you catch the Thursday installments of Lidia Reports and The Peerless Boilers Beat Bernie Contest.

THE THESIS: The Party has created two realities. We live in the world of objective, material happenings and facts proven by and observable, repeatable, falsifiable means. The other side lives in a reality where truth is whatever truth needs to be to suit the ends of The Party.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Genesis 19:11 They struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway. Zephaniah 1:17 I will bring distress on men So that they will walk like the blind, Because they have sinned against the Lord; And their blood will be poured out like dust And their flesh like dung. Zechariah 12:4 In that day,” declares the Lord, “I will strike every horse with bewilderment and his rider with madness. But I will watch over the house of Judah, while I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. Romans 11:8 Just as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, Eyes to see not and ears to hear not, Down to this very day.” THE NEWS & COMMENT:  Hillary is innocent [AUDIO] -  After Ignoring Trial, Nets Gloat Over Michael Sussmann's Acquittal Andrew McCarthy: John Durham lost because he treated the FBI as a dupe — rather than a Clinton collaborator Professional Republican, Matt Schlapp: It didn't matter that Durham had receipts showing Sussmann was working for Hillary. It didn't matter that his lie to the FBI about representing her was in writing. It didn't matter he broke federal law to sabotage Trump. DC's justice system will always cover for liberal elites ‘Tribal' D.C. juries align with Biden and Democrats; Is a fair trial even possible in Washington? Joe Biden has America in a strong position [AUDIO] - To start, let's review Rosenberg celebrating Replacement Theory in a June 8, 2008 speech in San Francisco at the NDN conference “A big day for US politics as team Biden begins a major campaign to help the American people better understand the progress we've made, how far we've come.

[AUDIO] - On CNN, with Brian Stelter, Jonathan Greenblat, Anti-Defamation League, talking about the Replacement Theory and claiming Tucker Carlson pushes it. “Beyond policy, Biden is unhappy about a pattern that has developed inside the West Wing.

How Texas can stop mass shootings; Psychiatric disorders should be cured not celebrated Since the Columbine shooting in 1999, a disturbing number of school shooters have suffered from mental health conditions. Ethan Crumbley, who killed four students in Michigan last year, is planning an insanity defense. Dimitrios Pagourtzis, who shot up a high school in Santa Fe and killed 10 individuals in 2018, has been deemed unfit for trial several times by authorities and remains at a mental health facility. Nikolas Cruz, the shooter at Parkland's Stoneman Douglas High School (also in 2018), suffered from depression, ADHD, and autism. Adam Lanza, the shooter at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 — still the deadliest school shooting in American history — reportedly had Asperger's syndrome and OCD. One L. Goh, who attacked Oikos University in Oakland in 2012, killing seven, was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and deemed unfit to stand for trial. Steven Kazmierczak, the shooter at Northern Illinois University in 2008, was also diagnosed with schizophrenia. Seung-hui Cho, the shooter at Virginia Tech in 2007, was diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder with selective mutism and a major depressive disorder. The list goes on.

This week Mark and Allen break down the Episode that is, perhaps, the clearest homage to the West Wing in the entire series!  Learning the Parks budget is going to be cut, Leslie convinces retiring Councilman Larry Pillner to reconsider. Ben is nervous about this action since they didn't discuss the possible ramifications. Ben's nervousness turns out to be justified when Pillner decides to, instead, cut the budget of an animal shelter instead, giving the animals only days to live. Bobby Newport's campaign manager, the cheerful, smart, talented, and deadly Jennifer Barkley goes on television to label Leslie an animal killer ... so Leslie adopts all of the animals to save them. In desperation, Leslie and Ben talk to Pillner and convince him to change the budget yet again, and instead release employees on retainer. This also backfires when Pillner goes further and cuts numerous employees, including Ann.  Meanwhile, despite her best efforts, April has become frustrated and miserable trying to fill in for Leslie in the Parks Department. When Leslie ends up adopting animals from the shelter to save them, April decides to hold an adoption fair at a park for the displaced shelter animals. April takes charge, spearheading the event, and feels pretty good about it ... but, as the day goes on, doesn't seem to be meeting the quotas she was hoping for.  Finally, Chris reveals that Ron is among the finalists for Assistant City Manager, but he first asks Ron to join him at a yoga studio for a meditation session. Ron initially balks at this, but Chris insists this is a critical step. Ron finally agrees to go, spending the day with Chris ... but while Chris cheerfully meditates, Ron is grumpy, refuses to smile, refuses to sit, and in fact, refuses to meditate at all.  As always, we tackle the tough questions, such as ... How can Leslie and Ben stop the Barkley express from eviscerating them on television? Does Chris offer Ron the position of Assistant City Manager? Has April found her true Passion Project? What is Ron's answer to Chris' teambuilding exercise? Does Councilman Pillner have a lesson to impart to Leslie before he retires? What will get cut ... the Parks budget, Ann Perkins, or innocent puppies and kitties? Will April find homes for all the animals ... if not, how will she handle the news? What potential political troubles does Chris learn about later?  Faithful podcast viewers, tune in for some great stories, character development, and Bradley Whitford to boot!  Many thanks to our incredible sponsor, from LFPTV, "Pawnee - What If?".

“My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I *am* the President!” To wrap up our season 3, Frank returns to talk about the Aaron Sorkin penned film starring Michael Douglas and Annette Bening, The American President (1995). As a self-professed fan of Sorkin, this film has special importance to me. Prepare yourself for a lot of The West Wing references and callbacks. We talk about liberal fantasy, the chemistry between the two leads, and Frank talks about needing to be in a certain mood to appreciate this film's idealism. What would you rate this movie on a scale from 1 to 10? TW: this episode was recorded before the mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde. There are mentions of gun control throughout the episode.

This is the first time I have had a guest on for the second time. Mrs. Whitman first made an appearance in season 1 episode 5. Her story is amazing and I highly recommend listening to that episode to hear all about it. Fun fact...Mrs. Whitman's season 1 interview is the second most popular episode of the podcast!! But this interview is a special one because, after 32 years in the classroom, Mrs. Whitman has retired. Hard to believe that the West Wing (the 1100 hallway at Tallmadge High School that houses the Social Studies Department) will be absent Mrs. Whitman next year. For so many years she has been a bright and shining star in our hallway. She has taught AP Gov for more years than I can count. Thousands of students have been under mentorship. Mrs. Whitman is a rock star. She is a passionate educator who has dedicated her life to serving and pouring into others. Retirement is well deserved. She will be busy telling her story, volunteering, and taking care of her many, many grandchildren. Mrs. Whitman, please consider this episode a small tribute to the amazing person that you are. On behalf of Tallmadge High School I say THANK YOU for your time in the classroom, THANK YOU for pouring into our kids, THANK YOU for loving what you do and showing up daily for so many years, and THANK YOU for your friendship. You are truly an amazing person. Happy Repurposing! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mark-horner/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mark-horner/support

Joe Biden's walk was notably slow and deliberate as he stepped off the presidential helicopter and made his way into the White House Tuesday evening. During the 17-hour flight back from Japan aboard Air Force One, news had reached him of the devastating shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. "I had hoped when I became President I would not have to do this—again. Another massacre,” Biden said in remarks to the nation from the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing.

It's finally Friday and topics tackled today include...Elon Musk faces sexual assault claim from a Space X flight attendant who says he exposed himself during a massage. Musk denies the sexual assault claim and says the story is a politically motivated hit piece.; Federal Judge Robert Summerhays has blocked the Biden Administration from ending Title 42 that would possibly prevent a surge in illegal immigration at the border.; Ex-Disinformation Board Chief Nina Jankowicz breaks silence making claims she had received death threats during the few weeks on the job.; President Biden's West Wing has been thrown into crisis mode over a nationwide shortage of baby formula as efforts to restock store shelves are coming under fire.; Rising gas prices hit a record high and continue to be a massive problem for consumers and businesses.; Jack takes your calls on the days News and Hot topics and it's Friday and another serving of "The Dish" is fresh and piping hot from the oven.

In this episode I speak with Set Decorator William DeBiasio. His story is interesting because it goes to show it's never too late in life to start in this business. With his desire and drive, coming from a retail background, he started at a prop house, then a set dresser, continued to buyer and eventually a Set Decorator. He had long stints on "The West Wing", "Alias", "Chuck", "Melrose Place", "Pretty Little Liars" and more. He currently is on the fifth season of “The Rookie '' which has its season finale airing this week. WIlliam has extensive knowledge of Hollywood history and behind the scenes stories of some iconic shows and films like “I Love Lucy”, “Hello Dolly”, “My Fair Lady” and more. I never knew he had this talent!

During the early days of the political and medical panic of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Deborah Birx was at the center of the storm. Appointed as the White House coronavirus response coordinator despite heavy distrust from the inner circles of the Trump administration, Dr. Birx, a seasoned diplomat, physician and political administrator, found herself facing the greatest public health crisis in a generation, with a mercurial and unpredictable president who made implementing an coordinated and consistent government response a daily challenge. She also amassed critics outside the White House as the pandemic grew. In her new book Silent Invasion, Dr. Birx recounts how she balanced skepticism from the West Wing, bitter partisanship and media speculation with delivering the fastest vaccine ever created, reform of the public health system and the power of public health interventions in slowing the spread of the coronavirus. Giving a candid look at how the pandemic developed and her role in convincing President Trump to see the danger COVID posed to the country, Dr. Birx gives a sobering and comprehensive view of the ongoing pandemic, and provides advice on how to prevent another pandemic from tearing apart American society. Join us as Dr. Birx retells her frantic battle to reform a broken federal response to the pandemic into one that could protect American lives, and gives a look to the future of the ongoing battle against COVID-19. SPEAKERS Dr. Deborah Birx Former White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator and Coronavirus Task Force Member; Senior Fellow, The Bush Institute; Author, Silent Invasion: The Untold Story of the Trump Administration, Covid-19, and Preventing the Next Pandemic Before It's Too Late Mark Zitter Chair, The Zetema Project; Member, Commonwealth Club Board of Governors—Moderator In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently hosting all of our live programming via YouTube live stream.

We are excited to bring you this encore presentation of one of our most popular episodes. We hope you enjoy! This week's diner guest is my favorite human because it's my wife - Tina VanSteenbergen Robilotta!!! We kicked off the conversation learning about Tina's love of bourbon and bubbly water then we dove off the deep end.  Tina told me about why being a mother is something she has always wanted to do.  We discussed the way our parents influenced us in known and unknown ways. Tina and I then discussed our devastating experience with pregnancy loss in the second trimester.  She then discussed dealing with loss while trying to grow a young business she was passionate about. Climbing out of that horrible time, we both chatted about the stress of trying to get pregnant again.  Then…spoiler alert… it worked! So then we discussed whether or not we are going to raise a good human.  Tina shared one thing she is excited to teach our child with a really powerful story.  We lighted the mood debating “Duck, Duck, Grey Duck” vs. “Duck, Duck, Goose.”  We wrapped up the conversation with Tina discussing the role other women have played in Tina's pregnancy journey.   About the Guest:  I believe in women. I love women. I love you, even if I don't know you yet.  I learned too late in my life that women need women. To be successful in the workplace. To feel understood. To help us believe in ourselves. To feel less alone in the world. Women need women. Women deserve strong communities full of empathy, kindness, and empowerment at work, at home, and literally everywhere in their lives. That's where I come in.    Hi, my name is Tina VanSteenbergen and I help women tear down the walls built between us. My speaking style gives women permission to open up, have honest conversations, and connect. With a combination of authenticity, storytelling, and humor, I've been able to help hundreds of thousands of women build relationships with one another, believe in themselves, and take up space at companies,campuses, and organizations around North America.   My work sets my soul on fire. So does a good nap. An excellent pour of bourbon. A beautiful snow. A peaceful and reflective sunset flight. An episode of RuPaul's Drag Race. A perfectly green avocado. The skyline of New York City. A warm and cheesy mac n' cheese. A well-written West Wing quote. My husband – James Robilotta, my dog, and a Minnesotan accent, of course.   Connect with Tina and learn more: https://www.tinaraevan.com/ (https://www.tinaraevan.com/) https://www.instagram.com/tinaraevan/ (https://www.instagram.com/tinaraevan/) About the Host:  Friends! Here's a somewhat stuffy bio of me:   I am an author, professional speaker, coach, host, and entrepreneur. My first book, Leading Imperfectly: The value of being authentic for leaders, professionals, and human beings, is available wherever people buy books. I speak internationally to willing and unwilling attendees about authenticity, vulnerability, and leadership. My clients include American Express, General Electric (GE), Accenture, Yale University, The Ohio State University, and many others. As a speaker, I am doing the two things I loves the most: making people think and making people laugh!  I host my own events multiple times a year. They are 2-day events called Living Imperfectly Live (and sometimes they are 1-day virtual events). They are a space where humans from every walk of life can come together to be part of a community on the pursuit of badassery. The goal is to help attendees start living the life we say we want to live. Alas, you're here because of an idea I had a number of years ago and didn't think I was good enough to pull it off. I finally acted on it and alas Diner Talks with James was born! As you can see from what I do in my professional life, Diner Talks is alligned with everything I believe in and...

What does it mean to be holy? What is the path to holiness? Can we have different paths within Judaism?

Stagflation and recession fears grow: U.S. GDP "unexpectedly" shrunk 1.4% in first quarter. Clay says, "You never hear unexpected good news on the economy under Joe Biden." Biden forgets words mid speech. We see so many of his gaffes in his few public appearances, what are they seeing in the West Wing? What is Jill Biden seeing? Joe Biden promised Kamala Harris a solo lunch "once a week," they've only had two. Mayor Pete and Biden are going to the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, which doesn't require masks, while Biden administration simultaneously argues you have to wear masks on planes, trains and buses. Jen Psaki clarifies Fauci, who said the U.S. is "out of the pandemic phase," making it clear we are in another phase, still in a pandemic. Biden Regime creates 'Disinformation Board,' aka Ministry of Truth. Buck says, "Orwell had a Ministry of Truth." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Stacey talks fashion, character arcs, and process with critically acclaimed costume designer, Lyn Paolo.  Much of Anna's mystique comes from her ability to shapeshift, an ability intimately tied to her apparel. Lyn was in charge of recreating all of Anna's many outfits for the screen. From baby-doll dress to business-chic to trial style, Lyn traces the evolution of Anna's looks, and explains the unique challenges behind recreating the appearance of a modern day fashionista who Lyn calls a “chameleon.”  Anna isn't the only character whose story is reflected in what they wear. The people who get close to Anna in the series are affected by her elevated taste as well. Stacey and Lyn discuss the interaction between character arcs and fashion for Vivian, Rachel, and Alan Reed.  To catch up before you listen, make sure you binge Inventing Anna the series on Netflix now.  Please rate, review, subscribe and share Inventing Anna: The Official Podcast with everyone you know.  Follow Lyn @lynpaolo and host Stacey Wilson Hunt @galinhollywood on Instagram and Twitter.

It's All Abortion All The Time! as the West Wing gang takes on America's ickiest issue. The suspense is killing us! Who will win the election? The vaguely pro-choice Democrat, or the vaguely pro-choice Republican? 

Emma hosts Luke Savage, staff writer at Jacobin Magazine, to discuss his new book The Dead Center: Reflections On Liberalism And Democracy After the End Of History.  Then, Emma is joined by Rana Abdelhamid, candidate for Congress in New York's 12th Congressional District, to give us an update from the campaign trail. Luke and Emma begin by looking at what the "end of history" means, and how this period, that they were both born into, came to establish a ubiquity of neoliberalism's status quo in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union and the decline of fascism. They dive particularly into the assimilation of liberals, particularly in the US and UK, into the ideology following the decade of the 80s that saw overwhelming conservative success, looking to Tony Blair and his ability to both channel the zeitgeist of the status quo, and present himself as a transformational figure. This leads them to the Obama era, marking the beginning of the end of the “end of history” in the wake of the financial collapse, and the “ideological universalism” that he employed to fit himself into the center of history and culture, bolstering his transformational status while committing to his conservative politics. They then briefly touch on the role of other political staples of early 2000s culture, such as The Daily Show and the West Wing, and how they created this belief in a commitment to systems, with a cultural rejection of the right, that simply is not a plausible way for politics to function. They wrap up the interview by looking at the role of liberal incompetence, and how the Democratic party in the US manages to consistently act as though they have no power over the system that they control, and the role this played in first bolstering the Bush administration's inadequacy, then pushing Obama's inaction, and finally helping Trump's candidacy along, even pushing forwards his role in 2024. Then, Emma talks with Congressional candidate Rana Abdelhamid on serving NY-12, committing to a progressive agenda that serves her constituents, and how it feels to take on an incumbent that actively looks away from her own district. Emma also dives into Biden's vocal support of workers' collective bargaining, particularly in the Amazon case, Chuck Todd apologizes for broadcasting such nonsense, and Jen Psaki does her best to remind people that it was JUST verbal, he's not going to actually do anything about it. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon and Matt as Emma does all she can to fend Dave from Jamaica away from online sports betting, Candace Owens calls out those mentally unstable adult predators, as she puts her trust in those attempting to legalize child marriage in Tennessee. Rep. Raul Ruiz goes in (though not all the way) on the gas and oil industry's disaster capitalism with the invasion of Ukraine, Steve from Audubon discusses Disney and the right's homophobia,  and Sean Hannity subtly calls for the execution of George W Bush. Gregory from OK gives us some exciting updates on his campaign, Matt touches on the influence of American neoconservatism on Putin's Russia, and Eddie from Ft.

Anna Deavere Smith (from broadway as well as Nurse Jackie, West Wing and Inventing Anna) is a deep thinker with an easy laugh—pretty much my favorite combination. She felt like an old friend from minute one. This heart to heart from the set of my PBS show, Tell Me More was followed by a conversation with Princeton professor Andrew Chignell who studies, among other things, hope and optimism, something Anna had a lot to say about. This is what we think of as a perfect Kelly Corrigan Wonders episode—a lot of feeling, a lot of thinking. Enjoy and share.

The crew debates which states should vote first in the presidential primaries if the Iowa caucuses were to go away. They also scrutinize a new survey that suggests most Americans think "The West Wing" and other political TV shows are reflective of how politics works.
