beer summit

Is beer being brewed in the White House? The Young Guns investigate this issue and then delve into the Ryan nomination, youth who are learning to hustle, whether or not foreign policy really matters to younger voters, recap the Olympics, F-bombs in popular culture, and of course Culture Shocks and Heroes and Villains. And yes, we get to hear just a little about Diane's honeymoon.

The Young Guns request your presence at a very special event: a podcast on the eve of Diane Ellis' nuptials. To celebrate, Diane, Troy, Meghan, and Keith discuss Chick-fil-A (no, they are not catering Diane's wedding), how they became conservatives, who is a Washington elitist/insider and who is not, and the Olympics. Also, we reveal what tune the bride and groom will dance to for the first time as husband and wife. 

Ricochet members, celebrate Diane's special day by subscribing to this podcast. Not a member? Do the right thing and join today!

Romney

After a long break, the Young Guns have finally returned. This week, Troy Senik, Meghan Clyne, Diane Ellis, and Keith Urbahn tackle where the heck they've been, VP stakes, tax returns (Romney's, not their own), jet skis, you didn't build that, the return of "Culture Shock" and "Heroes and Villains" and how Little House on The Prairie is relevant to today. 

Ricochet members, you have the duty and honor of subscribing to this podcast. Everyone else, listen in above.

graduate

It's graduation season, so what better time for a frank discussion on the best and worst commencement speakers. Then, Keith Urbahn is a Twitter legend who will be studied for generations to come, Diane's adventures in the deep south, a peek into the life of Smooookin' Troy Senik, and Meghan Clyne reveals her love for a certain Detroit rapper. Also, remaining conservative at college -- it can be done.

In this, our inaugural episode, we tackle the vacuity of “youth issues” (and come to consensus on the malign effects of “Rock the Vote”), the 2012 presidential election (wherein two of our panelists pledge to invade the privacy of a potential candidate), the fight over the debt ceiling, and the future of the GOP’s foreign policy inclinations. And we wrap it all up with our heroes and villains of the week – is it possible that Michelle Obama made it into both categories on a Ricochet podcast?
