6-11-R1

We're thrilled to announce the debut of another podcast, this time from the land of 10,000 lakes, Michele Bachmann, loons, and Franken. John Hinderaker is one of the founders of Powerline blog. Brian Ward is the proprietor of Fraters Libertas. Together, they did a radio show for years that was carried by a station in Minneapolis (Fun fact: Ricochet Podcast host James Lileks joined Ricochet after he heard Peter Robinson guest on John and Brian's show). 

The show ended last fall, but Minneapolis' loss is our gain. We immediately offered to carry the show. We think you'll love the result. And best of all, this show is available to everyone.

This week, John and Brian give a close up look at Wisconsin, some pointed commentary on Libya and the Middle East, and of course pass out their famous Loon of The Week award. Will it be Letterman or Moore? You'll have to listen to find out. 

P.S. We don't have an iTunes link quite yet, so for the time being, click here to listen to the show.

Thank God you're back. I was too busy wrapping up Grad school and wondered what happened to the program when I finally managed to tune back in. Knocked off by an investment program....there's corporate greed for you..! 

Glad to know I can come here and listen..Ricocheteers unite!

That is good news.  I used to listen to Brian and John (where is Chad the Elder?) every weekend on the Northern Alliance Radio Network, and it was always entertaining. Looking forward to it!

 We're getting to the point where we could have a different podcast every day.  Great job on the inaugural broadcast, guys!

Fantastic news--And I really my idea (Podcast affiliated with Ricochet). You guys should do it like on UStream or something (BTR?)

Now we need something from the East Coast.

Mazal tov!

Enjoyed it.

"There's a difference between a legitimate demonstration and a mob." Agreed. What happened in Wisconsin was disgraceful... more disgraceful because it was condoned by Democratic politicians.

Great to hear to that the First Team is back!   

Now if Chad the Elder would only come out of retirement.

Brian Ward

Thank you al!.  It's gratifying to know the old show had some listeners who are coming along for the next ride.  Regular Loons and TWIGs are planned.  Appearances by the old gang too.  Everything you missed and more.  Except for maybe the Scotch Eggs, at least until Ricochet starts videocasting.   Then again, if that starts, I'll have to start wearing pants during the podcasts -- which is NOT in my contract. Developing....
