3.15: Dead Irish Writers (with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau)

In light of Donna's brief time as a Canadian in “Dead Irish Writers,” we’re honored to be joined this week by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (<a href="https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@JustinTrudeau</a>). (We know. We can't believe it either.) The PM discusses political idealism – both on- and off-screen – and gives us his thoughts on what The West Wing got right, his father's tenure as Prime Minister, how he feels about President Bartlet, and more. Plus, Josh and Hrishi talk about the parallels between the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Troubles" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Troubles</a>, and the value of overcoming your fear of public failure.
