Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.

Wait a minute... people pay you to write about politics? How do I get in on that? Is there one weird trick?

Maybe they were expecting more about the election? I know I was.

I guess their thinking was that this particular podcast is — as the title suggests — more about culture than politics. And I don’t know about you, but I welcome the respite.
...If it even is a respite. Because if Andrew Breitbart’s maxim that politics lies downstream from culture is true (and it is, it is!) then culture is something conservatives need to pay more attention to. And participate more in.
Culture creates norms, and norms form the foundation of our policies, and our laws.
It was ever thus. No exceptions.
Which is why people who care little about what’s going on in Hollywood, and at our colleges and universities (“Meh. Who’s on Tucker?“), have their heads in the sand — because those “elitist” ideas get exported into the mainstream in a flat second. Before you even know what hit you.

Things have been relatively quiet thus far on Ricochet, no dynamic discussions, since the election. A moderate reaction to the moderate results of an election.
