[end excerpt] [Intro Music] JOSH: Hi, you’re listening to The West Wing Weekly. My name is Joshua Malina. HRISHI: And I’m Hrishikesh Hirway. JOSH: We are here to discuss season one, episode five, “The Crackpots and These Women”. It originally aired on October 20th, 1999. This episode was written by Aaron Sorkin; it was directed by Anthony Drazan, who among other things directed the 1998 film version of David Rabe’s Hurlyburly, the play on which it was based having been mentioned in episode one of our podcast. We’re coming full circle. HRISHI: Our guest today is writer and producer Eli Attie. Eli joined the staff of The West Wing in its third season, but before his gig in fictional D.C. he worked as a political operative in the real White House, serving as a special assistant to President Bill Clinton, and then as Vice President Al Gore’s chief speechwriter. He’s also written for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, House, and Rosewood. Eli, welcome to The West Wing Weekly. ELI: It’s a great pleasure to be here. JOSH: I’m a little bit under the weather, but Lady Podcast is a cruel mistress, and she waits for no man’s cold, so if I sound congested, it’s because I’m congested.

  • The Wonder Years Episode & Music Guide
    The Wonder Years Episode & Music Guide “What would you do if I sang out of tune … would you stand up and walk out on me?" 6 seasons, 115 episodes and hundreds of great songs – this is “The Wonder Years”. This Episode & Music Guide offers a comprehensive overview of all the episodes and all the songs played during the show. The episode guide is based on the first complete TWY episode guide which was originally posted in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv in 1993. It was compiled by Kirk Golding with contributions by Kit Kimes. It was in turn based on the first TWY episode guide ever put together by Jerry Boyajian and posted in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv in September 1991. Both are used with permission. The music guide is the work of many people. Shane Hill and Dawayne Melancon corrected and inserted several songs. Kyle Gittins revised the list; Matt Wilson and Arno Hautala provided several corrections. It is close to complete but there are still a few blank spots. Used with permission. Main Title & Score "With a little help from my friends" -- Joe Cocker (originally by Lennon/McCartney) Original score composed by Stewart Levin (episodes 1-6), W.G. Snuffy Walden (episodes 1-46 and 63-114), Joel McNelly (episodes 20,21) and J. Peter Robinson (episodes 47-62).

  • Employee Engagement Activities
    15 EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES 1 INVOLVE EMPLOYEES IN YOUR BUSINESS PLANNING PROCESS Every 6 months, or even quarterly, present the most important issues in your company and the actions made to address those issues. Involve your team in planning ahead, assessing opportunities and coming up with improvement ideas for your business strategy. By promoting transparency and offering them a strategic insight into how the company is being managed, you’ll foster loyalty and you’ll also have a prepared leadership pipeline. 2 CREATE A KNOWLEDGE SHARING SYSTEM One of the biggest costs of a high employee turnover rate is the loss of essential information. A knowledge sharing system helps you avoid that cost, to some extent, and it’s also a great engagement driver for newcomers. You can have a mentorship program, pairing experienced employees with newly hired ones. Create a learning program template that they should follow, giving them enough space to test their own learning methods. Give them a timeframe, a set of objectives and let the relationship unfold on its own. 3 ENCOURAGE KNOWLEDGE SHARING IN A CREATIVE WAY Teams are oftentimes isolated within their own project and their own workspace, that they have no idea what the rest of the company is doing. Create an open sharing space, once every 2 months or so, where every team can present updates on their project and key learning points. Teams will evolve much more rapidly, using the knowledge shared and the different experiences on every project. To minimize the risk of this turning into a boring, mandatory 2h meeting, make it fun and creative.
