Roman Genn arrived in America in 1991, fresh after departing his native Soviet Union, where his caricatures resulted in what he refers to as, “many unpleasant encounters with police officials.” He sat down with our own Dave Carter for a freewheeling exchange about life in the US, where his immense talent and sense of mischief have flourished on the cover of National Review and many other publications. The conversation crosses continents and covers everything from the reaction of various public personalities and US presidents to Roman’s art, to his deployments with US Marines to the middle east, and much more. Dave reports that the only thing that caught him off guard was Roman’s irrepressible sense of humor, which caused face cramps on the part of our host from all the laughing.
Ricochet Member Lois Lane was kind enough to drop by and talk about her recent post, “Eating Out in a Restaurant in the Age of COVID-19,” and share her experience as college professor, teaching history and English. It’s a captivating discussion that you’re sure to enjoy.
Then, somewhere in the midst of this, Dave’s Cajun friend Alphone Fontenot phones in and the result is predictably unpredictable, and just a little bit nuts. Fasten your seat belts please.
Finally, if you’re listening to Dave’s show, but you’re not a Ricochet member, there is a way you can get a 30 day free trial membership . Tune in to learn more!

Good show. Haven’t had much interest in Mr. Genn because I generally miss the point of those parodies of his (although yeah, proctologist Obama was creepy). Listening to the conversation though? I’d TP Rob Long’s house with him any time.
Of course nowadays you’d have refinance your house so you could afford the TP. I’m glad you enjoyed the show! And yes, Roman is “good people,” and loads of fun to be around.
That was a great show. @LoisLane sounds a lot younger than I pictured her from her writing. And that was a great interview. I would like to hear a longer follow up.
Then there is Roman Genn. I kept laughing out loud at that one.
Me too! Thanks much!
Oh, also, Ernest Hemingway canonical? Isn’t he a bit young for that?
You’re thinking of canonized.
Better canonized than howitzered, I always say.
No, I’m still objecting to “educators” including that young Dickens fellow in their classes on writing and literature. Hemingway? Way too soon!
Yep. I’m 23, Arahant. Picture 23. :)
Well, to be fair, our country is pretty young. And he’s been dead for more than six decades….
Just to kinda go with what was said but also to tell the truth, I really did LOL at this.
A gentleman never asks and a lady never reveals.
