Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
There’s nothing quite like a radical change in lifestyle, location, and vocation to bring out the podcaster in Ricochet’s Dave Carter. After a year and a half’s hiatus, Dave is now safely and happily ensconced in Florida, on “The World’s Most Beautiful Beaches.” As it turns out, the thing he most wanted to accomplish after getting settled in was setting up his in-home studio and firing up the microphone to talk with us. And we’re glad he did! Rob Long joins the fun, talking with Dave about the contrasts between New York City and Florida and pausing to counsel Dave on his unique sense of ebullient pessimism over the country’s trajectory. The conversation changes pace with Rob advising Dave on his new line of work in radio sales before the two discuss tentative plans regarding an upcoming Ricochet Meetup in New Orleans. The conversation concludes on a fun note, but not before Dave makes a shameless plug for his new internet radio station called The Tiger, Bayou Blues & Rock (which includes some notable and notably funny Christmas music for the holidays).
Finally, Ricochet’s Jenna Stocker calls in and Dave doesn’t miss the opportunity to solicit a comparison between the balmy weather in Florida and the single digit temps in Minneapolis where Jenna resides with her husband and delightful one year-old son. The two discuss Jenna’s remarkable writings on her substack page, as well as The Federalist, Newsweek and elsewhere. Then Jenna turns the tables on our host and interviews Dave to find out exactly how his move to Florida went and what life is like now that he’s settled in (Hint: Dave’s attitude on the Christmas holidays has radically changed). You’ll want to listen in to learn more about this one.

I hope I can speak for my fellow Ricochetti in welcoming you back to the microphone, Dave! Yours is a special gift and we all benefit from hearing your voice. Thanks again for having me on; it was an honor and a pleasure.
GREAT to have you back @davecarter! Long overdue in my book but right on time in yours I’m sure. And to have Rob and multi-talented @jennastocker as a guest as well? You know how to make a (re) appearance.
All the best in this new chapter in your life my friend.
Thank you Nick!! You’re correct of course; it’s long overdue. And it’s great to be back!
Rob, no. Didn’t you live in LA for a few years?
Nancy Pelosi’s political influence begins and ends with the huge block of CA votes that will vote in lockstep any way she tells them. She has no “skills” to offer outside of this. She saw several budgets passed on her years working up the ranks of leadership, but in her twenty odd years as Speaker she never passed a single budget.
You know, budgets? The things normal people need to figure out to eat. The things that sustain well run and stable societies.
I had the pleasant surprise this morning when I saw your latest podcast in iTunes, and I went to listen to it as soon as I could. It’s been too long, I greatly enjoyed it. I’m sorry to hear the troubles that you’ve gone through since your last one, but it’s great to have you back with us. May you continue podcasting for a long time!
Very kind of you! I’ve missed talking to (and with) Ricochet folks for far too long now, so it’s beyond time to remedy that. It’s great to be back!!
Loved the show! Less politics, more fun! Life’s too short to dwell on the crappy stuff. Plus, now that you are on Florida’s Emerald Coast, you don’t had time for all that drama. There’s sun to soak up and drinking to be done! I have friends in Destin. We hope to get down to see them next year. They love it!
Glad you like it!! Hope the blues music was up to standard!
Your music selection is always spot on! Thankfully, I was at a stoplight when I heard the mention. 😉
Mr. Carter,
I downloaded, but only recently listened. A very enjoyable podcast. Keep them coming. Continue taling to real people. Jenna was great.
Thank you!! I’ll gladly take your advice.
