Thank you, Mary, for talking with Martin Sheen. I’ve always liked him as an actor. I had a crush on him when I was much, much, much younger.

It was interesting hearing and learning about him as a person.

Great interview with one of my favorite actors. I was raised Lutheran. It has not made me critical of any one’s religious beliefs. The Catholic Church has certainly had its trials. So have other religious houses. Let’s focus on the humanity and public good he emphasizes, not his Catholicism. That’s unfair.

I love and admire Martin Sheen but as I recall, the Catholic church created the Inquisition. And did a few other things that condemned people. Nice conversation.

Thank you both for this captivating interview. I must confess that I had no idea that Martin is a larger than life character in real life not just in reel life. His words on religion, God and love are most refreshing in this day and age.

Fascinating. You are a truly spiritual person yourself Mary. You have an unusual blend of humanity, poetic justice and empathy. Don't lose your inner voice.

I saw The Normal Heart in London in 1985. It was extraordinary. Thank you , Mr. Sheen, for taking that on.

To whomever transcribes these interviews, it's Ferlinghetti. Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Everyone needs to look him up, so spelling his name correctly is important.

This was amazing. Mr Sheen I watched West Wing on dvds for years. It was my escape during a challenging time and even in that character you were living and an activist. Than you

I just loved this podcast! Mary- you do a terrific job in your writings, conversations, and activism. I share your inspiring creations. And yes we all need to remember to “keep the faith” 💙

Cannot wait to tap into Martin’s podcast. I was so fortunate to have met him in La during a demonstration whereby I told him when I lived in Beijing in the early 3009’s, watching a pirated West Wing was a saving grace for me! He will always be my fave president! Aside from Obama. 💙💙💙
