  • A voice to calm AND inspire…

    How can a voice both calm and inspire?

    Martin Sheen’s voice is powerful, curious, playful, moving and resounding.

    It is the voice of many amazing characters. In these trying times, Josiah Bartlet is front of mind, but there are countless others.

    Martin’s is the voice of a father, an advocate, a friend and a mentor. And most inspiringly, Martin gives voice to the voiceless. Those who will not be heard unless he uplifts them.

    I love this podcast for the stories, the poetry, and learning abo... more

    I’ve long been a fan of Sheen‘s work. This is such a rich and powerful format and a kind act of generosity from someone who assuredly has other things he could be working on. Thank you to Martin Sheen and the kind folks who are helping him produce the podcast and put it out into the world. It is seen, appreciated, and has an impact!

  • Fills me with joy

    I’ve just discovered the podcast (for once a Facebook pop-up was a good thing!), and my heart is full. What a beautiful, inspiring, utterly engaging podcast. I don’t even usually like podcasts, but these 20-minute visits with Martin Sheen remind me that life is good. How lucky are we to hear Mr Sheen’s voice, his stories, and his one-of-a-kind voice reading his favorite poems.

    I’m working my way through the back episodes, and am so grateful to Renée Estevez for convincing her father to do this... more
