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.
We don’t tend to do location work on this show, but when a major news event happens in the city where one of our hosts live, we get a up-close and personal view. And when that host is James Lileks and Minneapolis, the amount of detail, insight, and thoughtfulness could fill a dozen podcasts. James describes what the last few days have been like, and where he thinks his city is heading. But that’s not all we’ve got for you. We’ve got the NYT’s Bari Weiss on Joe Rogan, podcasting, and why our medium in now a major media platform (it’s very meta conversation). Then, obscure law professor and fast food aficionado John Yoo stops by to school us on platforms versus publishers (guess what Ricochet is?), that pesky section 230, and why Twitter probably should not be fact checking the President.
Music from this week’s show: My City of Ruins by Bruce Springsteen

Just watched the Frontline on Amazon last night. “Insidious” isn’t quite strong enough. And I cannot believe people put Amazon cameras inside their homes!!! America honey, wake up!!!
I agree with this completely and there are people that hate me for it. I think they are dumber than stumps.
Indeed, a thousand times, indeed.
Fentanyl and meth.
@peterrobinson @jameslileks Y’all should invite Thomas Sowell onto the podcast to inject a bit of sense into all this public hysteria over racism.
He will be on sometime this month.
Rob said two million, not ten million.
I thought he said two million.
Awesome.
By the way, I emailed Steyn to suggest he should have his occasional YouTube rambles copied into audio-only form to be hosted as another Ricochet podcast. My request must pass through a secretary, I expect, but one of y’all could probably contact him directly.
Just for the record, Freemake Video Downloader can make an audio-only copy of stuff from youtube.
No Lileks PotW? I guess he probably wasn’t much in the mood. Totally understandable.
