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.
The King welcomes back Spencer Klavan, host of the Young Heretics podcast, Associate Editor for the Claremont Institute, and Features Editor of The American Mind. He just announced a new book to be released in February, How to Save the West: Ancient Wisdom for 5 Modern Crises, but I wanted to talk to him right now … and then again in February. We talk about the Left’s meltdown over the Supreme Court, the importance of the classics, and why so many younger men are turning to tradition.
Then Jon talks wraps up a few big stories in the news, Democrats’ woes, their contempt for July 4, and the latest shootings. Subscribe to the King of Stuff Spotify playlist featuring picks from the show. This week, Jon recommends “Nattens sista strimma ljus” by Swedish psych-rock outfit Dungen.

Great show. I enjoyed your conversation with Spencer. I wish his book was already out.
Just curious, what do you think the intersection is between the part of the audience who’s here for Aristotle, and the part of the audience who’s here for Swedish Psychadelic Metal?
@SamRhody read the Anabasis. His review is that he could wish that Xenophon was a Spartan.
