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.
This week, Jason Riley stops by to talk about his new documentary, Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World, which aside from being great, is also free to stream on YouTube. So the second you finish this podcast, we expect you will watch it. But before we get to Jason, we visit with Steve Krakauer, who writes the must-read Fourth Watch newsletter about all things media. We talk about liberal bias (we can confirm that it exists), why Texas may be the next media capitol, and whether print really is dead. Also, the guys make their Super Bowl picks, James' daughter is quarantined in Boston, and Rob explains why the old Hollywood studio system likely won't be coming back.
Music from this week's show: A Little Bit 'O Soul by Sound Explosion

Have only listened to the open. @jameslileks, Byron York has a corner on the “no chitchat podcast” so tread lightly. ;)

Our world needs a LOT of Sowell...

Never enough Sowell. The Mozart of academics.

Peter said that he had to sort of hold his tongue about asking Jason Riley about his last few columns.
I looked up the title of Jason Riley's last few columns and found one with the title, "This Time, Trump’s Impeachment Is Warranted".
Hmm, why is Ricochet.com crawling with all these Nancy Pelosi-conservatives?
I said I wasn't going to listen to this podcast for while, but old habits and all that. I can see that the podcasts here are going to be a minefield for quite a while...
