Ricochet Podcast Programming Note

Attention podcast listeners: This week, we're doubling your podcast listening pleasure. Tomorrow, Rob Long, James Lileks, Andrew Klavan, and Jonah Goldberg will riff like a finely tuned jazz band on politics and culture. Then on Friday, we gather all of our former presidential speechwriters/Ricochet contributors together (that's Peter Robinson, Bill McGurn, and Troy Senik). They'll give us a behind the scenes look at what goes into the writing and staging of a State of The Union address, and tell some war stories in process. Both podcasts should be great listens and the latter an opportunity for Peter Robinson to showcase his uncanny knack for presidential voice impressions.

Re: Ricochet Podcast Programming Note
Peter's story about James Buckley meeting Richard Nixon was a great story/impression. It still cracks me up. Thanks for two podcasts.

Re: Ricochet Podcast Programming Note
This is wonderful news. As I spend the days sitting in my home office casting about for my next project, the Ricochet podcasts are a welcome respite from constantly hitting "Send/Receive", hoping for a response from a client!
As far as I'm concerned you could run podcasts daily. C'mon - you guys don't have anything better to do, right? Oh, and make Steyn a regular.

Re: Ricochet Podcast Programming Note
This is great. This morning on my commute I was forced to listen to a podcast entitled AlignIT by Microsoft Canada, eh? Egads, it was terrible. All of the reasons why I should upgrade to SharePoint 2010, which is already a project for 2011. I was falling asleep. I switched to a Ricochet podcast from August. That was much better.
Hold up, did I type egads just now?

Re: Ricochet Podcast Programming Note
I agree with Robert. The Nixon impression is quite good. But we've also heard Peter do some good turns on Reagan. Even in tiny snippets, like when he told the story of Dever suggesting to the president that he go through another take on something or other that Peter had thought was terrific the first go-round. He uttered maybe two words. Took a quick breath. It was Reagan on the line.

I agree! Steyn needs to be on the podcast more often!

I saw this comment on my sidebar as I was reading through the Main Page. What the heck are you guys talking about over here? Now, I have to go read Claire's post on high heels and self-defense.

Another reason to have Steyn on more often: Peter won't feel so lonely in his heels.

Well, allow me to elucidate my plan for world domination. First, I engineered the demise of Tommy De Sono at the hands of the Tunisian Temptress, Claire Berlinski. That was relatively simple. Next, a few more swift key strokes and Peter Robinson will feel the trap door to the alligator pit open up courtesy of Lady Anatolia. Its like the board game Clue, but with high heels and duct tape. Soon, it will just be me, Claire and her 7 cats. Then, I'll go to work on them.
In the Rob Long screenplay version at this point Pseudodionysius would be heard to say:
"Mooooohahahaahahah"
No need to thank me.

Re: Ricochet Podcast Programming Note
I have a question for our speech writers. Why aren't graphics used by presidents?
Is it to Ross Perot?
Thanks

And won't you feel silly when you discover that "Claire Berlinski" is the fictional creation of some pale, chubby, middle-aged Dick-Cheney lookalike who lives in his mother's basement in Queens.
