Welcome back to the penultimate episode of Season 2 of TPATPAT! This time we’re bringing you back to the far flung land of 2016… Long before the Office Ladies carved their faces into the Mount Rushmore of rewatch podcasts, the modest West Wing Weekly chugged along in the background, for all intents and purposes a... The post The West Wing Weekly | TPATPAT first appeared on Shows What You Know.

The West Wing: "17 People" In what's widely regarded as one of TV's all-time best bottle episodes, the staff of The White House stays late for two reasons: a tense confrontation in the Oval Office about the President's health, and a writers' room punch-up of Correspondents' Dinner jokes. Time to talk turn-of-the-century liberal politics with Aaron Sorkin's Emmy sweeping series -- including the stacked cast who do "walk and talks" and speak in meter, why Martin Sheen makes a good TV president, how young Bradley Whitford was so much less hot than he is now, and how the show does (or doesn't) hold up in a 2020s political landscape.

He wrote the music for The Red Lantern, a narrative survival dog-sledding adventure, with warm, relaxing music to counter the cold landscape.

And if you like the soundtrack, you'll love his solo music. He used to record as The One AM Radio but now releases under his name.

Jose and Kenny review Richard Schiff's wonderfully tearful appearance on West Wing Weekly, Sorkin's biblical references, and imaginary sex with Allison Janney. For our Big Block of Cheese, we talk about how we handle our emotions. Are you a Schiff or a Malina? Or a Miranda?

We discuss West Wing Weekly's guest, Eli Attie, who was a Clinton/Gore speechwriter and West Wing writer. Do politicians really want what's best for their constituents? Kenny makes the case for firing Toby for insubordination. Jose couldn't care less about solecisms, but he is comforted in our Big Block of Cheese by sharing family stories.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Hrishikesh Hirway over Zoom video!Acclaimed musician and Song Exploder host/creator Hrishikesh Hirway's first EP under his own name, Rooms I Used to Call My Own, is out now. The album features collaborations with a long list of acclaimed artists, songwriters and producers including Yo-Yo Ma, Jay Som, Baths, Jenny Owen Youngs, Jimmy Tamborello (The Postal Service, Dntel), Jonathan Snipes (Clipping), John Mark Nelson and Grammy-winners John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen) and Kimbra.Rooms I Used to Call My Own marks the first time Hirway has released music under his own name following five critically acclaimed records under the moniker The One AM Radio. A deeply personal work, the EP is informed by Hirway's experiences as a podcast host; eschewing the inward gaze of his previous work as an artist, Rooms I Used to Call My Own instead focuses on collaboration, each song formed out of a conversation of sorts with everyone he's brought into the project with him. Likewise, the subjects of the EP are all other people: the people he loves. The songs are about the deep love and appreciation he holds for his wife, Lindsey, as well as his parents and family.Hirway is also set to continue his Spring tour with Jenny Owen Youngs, performing select dates throughout the west coast in May. They'll be on stage together, doing one combined set of all their songs, performing as a duo. Jenny and Hrishikesh have collaborated as co-writers on several songs and are both storytellers, as hosts of popular, award-winning podcasts: Hrishikesh with Song Exploder, The West Wing Weekly and Home Cooking; and Jenny with Buffering the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars Investigations. These special performances will be a mix of songs and stories from two dear friends; find tickets HERE and see below for a list of dates.Hrishikesh Hirway has been producing music for over two decades; first with his project The One AM Radio, and later with MOORS, a collaboration with Oscar-nominated rapper/actor Lakeith Stanfield. As a composer, his credits include the Netflix original series Everything Sucks!, the theme for ESPN's 30 for 30 podcast and the theme for the Song Exploder series on Netflix. Hirway launched the award-winning podcast Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and tell the stories behind their inspiration and creative process, in 2014. Since then, the podcast has been streamed and downloaded over 65 million times, and has featured guests including Fleetwood Mac, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Solange, U2, Arcade Fire, Metallica, Lin-Manuel Miranda, The Roots and many more.

Why Not Both is an exploration of how our multiple passions shape our identity, hosted by musician and therapist Pam Shaffer and produced by writer and photographer Laura Studarus. For our fifth season, we partnered up with Under The Radar to explore the lives of musicians, writers, actors, and creatives. Our guest Hrishikesh Hirway embodies the ethos of Why Not Both: he just released his debut solo EP "Rooms I Used To Call My Own" after spending the better part of the last decade crafting the brilliant podcasts Song Exploder, The West Wing Weekly and Home Cooking while executive producing The Jump with Shirley Manson. What surprised us most was learning that he started his podcast and writing journey in reaction to his music becoming his main source of professional success. After chatting with countless creatives, Hirway found his way back to songwriting with a nudge from his friend Jenny Owen Youngs and a renewed sense of personal purpose, proving that exploration and expression are the most important ingredients after all. Enjoy Hirway's new EP Check out Song Exploder Tune into our episode with Hirway's tourmate and cowriter Jenny Owen Youngs Listen to our episode with Shirley Manson, whose podcast The Jump he executive produces Have fun listening to The Jump Thanks again for listening!

Hrishikesh Hirway has been making music for as long as he can remember and, as an adult, spent years building a career in the industry, writing, performing, producing, and touring. But, it was a moment where he took a bit of a pause to re-evaluate that led him to record an interview with a friend about the story and creative decisions behind a song that would change everything. That conversation eventually became the opening episode of the podcast, Song Exploder, which itself then exploded into a global phenomenon that I've been obsessed with since hearing that first episode. Now, it's grown into not just an award-winning podcast, but also a Netflix original television series where musicians break down the creative process behind their songs, featuring many of the biggest names in music like Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Dua Lipa, The Killers, so many others. And, building on the success of Song Exploder, Hrishikesh has now grown a network of shows, producing and co-hosting the award-winning podcasts Home Cooking, with chef and author Samin Nosrat, and The West Wing Weekly, with actor Joshua Malina. He's also the host and producer of the Partners podcast.All the while, he's continued to write and perform his own music, releasing four albums under the moniker The One AM Radio, and an EP with Moors, his project with Lakeith Stanfield. As a composer, he has written music for film, television, and podcasts, including the score for the Netflix series "Everything Sucks!" and the theme to ESPN's "30 for 30" podcast. Recently, he released two singles, “Between There and Here," which features Yo-Yo Ma, and “Home,” featuring Jay Som. These, in fact, are the first songs he's released in 10 years, and the first under his own name. His new EP, Rooms I Used to Call My Own is out March 30.You can find Hrishikesh at: Website | Instagram | PodcastsIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Kaki King.

Welcome to season 4 of The New Exchange podcast, a series that's all about how everyone has a story to tell. My name is Ken Grand-Pierre and today's premiere episode with Hrishikesh Hirway is something I truly can't believe. In many ways, he directly inspired this very series you're listening to now and it's a true privilege getting to share this conversation with you. Hrishikesh is a talented musician, producer, television host and has become prolific within the podcasting space due to his series, The West Wing Weekly, Home Cooking, Partners, and most famously; Song Exploder (which is also a critically-acclaimed Netflix series). Within our chat, we explore how Hrishikesh got into podcasting, how his unexpected success has drastically changed the course of his life and finding his voice again when it comes to music (with a little help from Yo-Yo Ma).

Today on the show, we're talking to Hrishikesh Hirway, the musician behind The One AM Radio, the podcaster behind The West Wing Weekly and Song Exploder, and the host of Netflix's adaptation of Song Exploder. In addition to collaborating with Yo-Yo Ma and interviewing musicians like Michael Stipe and Alicia Keys, Hrishikesh is also the cohost, with Samin Nosrat, of Home Cooking, which has quickly become one of our favorite food podcasts during the pandemic. We talked about the joys of savory oatmeal, lessons learned from hosting a call-in show about cooking, and a very special mango pie. We also got to hear about an exciting new EP that's hot off the presses.Additional reading and listening:Accept Cookies [Substack]A Very American Mango Pie, Inspired by Indian Aunties [The New York Times]Song Exploder, The West Wing Weekly, Home Cooking

In this episode, Hrishikesh Hirway reads "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats. Hirway is the creator and host of several acclaimed podcasts, including Home Cooking (with Samin Nosrat), The West Wing Weekly (with Joshua Malina), and Song Exploder (which is now also a Netflix original series). On top of all that, Hirway manages a career as a composer and recording artist. At the beginning of this interview, you'll hear a short clip from his new single, "Between There and Here (feat. Yo-Yo Ma)." https://open.spotify.com/episode/7pu2x8Z3tA2Qzgl058WhGd "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats was written in 1888 and included in his second collection, The Rose, published in 1893.

Our guest today is the musician and podcaster, Hrishikesh Hirway. Hrishikesh is the creator of the excellent Song Exploder podcast - where musicians dissect their songs and discuss how they were made - which has recently been made into a TV show by Netflix. He's also involved in other popular podcasts including West Wing Weekly, Home Cooking and Partners. But music is Hrishikesh's first love and he has been working as a musician on and off for the last 20 years or so. From 2002 to 2011, he put out several albums under the name The One AM Radio and just last month he released a new track, this time under his own name, called Between There and Here. In this interview, as well as talking through his favourite song selection, we discuss where Hrishikesh first discovered Elliott Smith's music, how it influences his own work and what track he would cover on an Elliott Smith Song Exploder episode.

Hanif speaks with Hrishikesh Hirway, the creator and host of Song Exploder and a fellow music enthusiast.

Hrishikesh Hirway is a humble high achiever. He has just released his first Netflix Mini-series, Song Exploder, based on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. On it, he talks to musicians like Alicia Keys, R.E.M., Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ty Dollar Sign. To say that it is huge, is an understatement. I met Hrishikesh when I was a guest on his other GIANT podcast that he co-created and co-hosted with my former cast mate from The West Wing and Scandal, Josh Malina – that podcast is The West Wing Weekly, yet another zeitgeist podcast. Originally, though, Hrishikesh moved to L.A. to record music and score films, so... as wildly successful as he is now, for a long time he still identified himself as a struggling, or failed, musician. His humility, combined with laser focus and attention to detail is perhaps what inspired me the most.Note: This is the second part, if you would like to listen to the first part of the interview, you can find it hereGUEST LINKShrishikesh.cosongexploder.nettwitter.com/HrishiHirwayinstagram.com/hrishihirwaytwitter.com/SongExploderinstagram.com/songexploder SHOW LINKSPRE-ORDER MATT'S BOOK HERE (PUBLISHES OCT 27, 2020) JOIN THE 10,000 NO's TRIBE FOLLOW MATT BOOKS & THINGS (INCLUDING PAST GUEST CREATIONS) COACH WITH MATT See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Aaron Arruda and Chris Mycoskie profoundly begin with their thoughts on President Donald J. Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. After that, they discuss the historic week in professional sports (20:24) as players from the NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, and WNBA opted not to play as a way to bring attention to racial injustice and potentially bring about change.This week’s guest is Chris Landry (34:25), who has spent a lifetime in football as a coach, scout, and administrator. He shares his insight on the 2020 season, which will be bizarre in so many ways. The first college game is Saturday, as Central Arkansas faces Austin Peay in the FCS Kickoff. FBS teams get started next Thursday, Sept. 3.Landry also runs the LandryFootball.com, which includes podcasts, articles, and analysis.

Ryan Luis Rodriguez of The Coolness Chronicles podcast returns for the closure to the remaining seasons of this always intense political thriller and disaster drama that is rather fascinating to watch still. But we ask are the non-Aaron Sorkin remaining seasons worth their weight on their own terms, are too many of his fanbase not giving those latter years an equal chance or did it end on a rough note? Furthermore, we again comment primarily on The Godfather-esque editing, other insane plot twists and the individual characters’ evolution.  A special thank you goes out to The West Wing Weekly podcast for helping us with some serious trivia as well! #JackedUpReviewShow #9/11 #TheWestWing #NCIS #MarkHarmon #MartinSheen #PresidentBartlett #SamSeabourne #WillBailey #Obama #JoshuaMolina #JimmySmits #RobLowe #Senate #Congress #AlanAlda #MASH #24TVShow #Mutiny #SecretService #JamesCromwell #JoshAndDonna #CJCregg #AllisonJanney #BradleyWhitford #JasonIsaacs #InternationalAffairs #SpyMayhem #PresidentsOfUS #POTUS #PoliticalDrama #NBC #FOX #CBS #TheDailyShow #Islamphobia #Racism #Prejudice #KarlRove #BillClinton #Kissinger #Nixon #Mom #Mockumentary #Documentary #Relevant #Controversial #Tone #Mood #Filmmaking #Noir #Season3 #Season4 #Season5 #Season6 #Season7 #Emmy #GoldenGlobe #DonHenley #NewYorkMinute #PresidentialAdvisor #AaronSorkin #TheEagles #TheNewsroom #AlexGraves #Oil #PlotBuildUp #2016Election #2020Elections #AgentGibbs #Terrorists #RockyCarroll #MichaelNouri #MartinSheen #JorjaFox #CSI #Crusade #Babylon5 #GaryCole #MichaelONeill #ChicagoHope #MiddleEast #Murder #ExecutiveOrder #AirStrike #USNavy #TheGodfather #Fraking #ArchieBunker #EditedMontages #Opera #Overseas #ForeignTrade #Scandal #DesignatedSurvivor #Psych #CharlieSheen #MadamSecretary #AntiHero #LawAndOrder #SVU #NYPDBlue #Leo #JohnSpencer #LALaw #Comedy #Drama #Thriller #StagePlays #ParksAndRec #Steadicam #WestWingWeekly #JamesBrolin #GeorgeHWBush #GeorgeWBush #CSPAN #DonaldTrump #PresidentialPrimaries #PoliticalOpponent #MarleeMatlin #Sports #CredibleThreat #GoodDrama #Diseases #CoronaVirus #Polling #CNN #News #DebatePrep #NonTraditional #JohnWells #Drugs #TedKennedy #PoliticalScandals #RoyalPains #DarkSide #TwoParter #MassiveAttack #PrisonBreak #Sitcom #SpeakerOfTheHouse #YoYoMa #USANetwork #LimitedSeriesEvent #MichaelNouri #TheOC #Pretty #Sexy #AwesomeShows #JohnDeLancie #FrontlineNews #JohnGoodman #Corruption #ClearAndPresentDanger #TomClancy #HBO #FailSafe #DonaldMoffat #JohnCarpenter #TheThing #Dementia #FamilyDrama #Cynical #PoliticalSpeeches #JaneaneGarafalo #Comedians #SNL #Babe #StarTrek #ER #TayeDiggs #Broadway #Prank #Ego #ElizabethMoss #Subtext #Scriptwriting #StockardChanning #ZeljkoIvanek #SaturdayNightLive #AnnabethGish #XFiles #RomanticTriangle #MaryLouiseParker #Weeds #JesseBradford #GlennClose #WilliamFichtner #AirForceOne #GuestSpots #MissionImpossible #Twitter #Stargate #VillainOfTheWeek #AnthonyZerbe #TonyAwardWinners #OlympusHasFallen #LawrenceODonnell #DaveMatthewsBand #JonBonJovi #FullFrontal #SamanthaBee #FooFighters #BareNakedLadiesBand #AllStarCast #BTS #BehindTheScenes #FunnyOrDie #Spoof #Parody #Expendables #SealTeamSix

In today's episode, Jessica does things a little differently - not one book or movie or comfort show but three comfort shows, and not just three comfort shows but three comfort shows and their companion podcasts. So, join Jess as she discusses THE WEST WING and the podcast THE WEST WING WEEKLY; THE GOOD PLACE and the podcast THE GOOD PLACE THE PODCAST; and SCRUBS and the podcast FAKE DOCTORS REAL FRIENDS WITH ZACH AND DONALD. The Comfort Food is Blueberry Pancakes (with a side of crispy bacon). For the Community Comfort, Jess gets all Peace, Love, and Hippie on y'all suggesting some tree hugging; and, as with the last Corona Comfort she has some more comfort action suggestions, this time involving Frank Lloyd Wright. So, whip up some flapjacks and join Jess for a discussion of high quality hugs, connection despite Corona, and the importance of a solid "no ash-hole" workplace policy.

This was a shorter discussion due to time constraints and will likely have a part two soon. Becca recommends heartily Big Family Cooking Showdown on Netflix, as well as Alias Grace, One of Us, Get Out, and I Love You America.

The last few episodes have had a lot of conversation and not a lot of solo Zac chatter. This episode is the opposite of that. It's kind of just one big closing monologue for this current batch of episodes, a.k.a Season 2.5. It covers a lot of ground, including: Mad Men, David Rees, Experimental French writers, books about 90s screenwriters, the internet, videogames, knowing someone versus understanding them, Chopped, Roald Dahl, and more.  It features music from Cat Power, Devendra Banhart and Drake, as well as a clip from The West Wing Weekly which itself includes a clip from The West Wing [Inception horn noise]. It features the voices of Max Wallace and Jake McKay.  Come back next week for a two-hour episode of "Are Ye Talkin' Arcade Fire In May?"
