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.
This week, another one guester as we call on Ricochet alumnus Mollie Hemingway to help us sort through Kanye, Kavanaugh, and other assorted issues of the day (she also gives us an instant review of the new Gosnell movie, which Mollie had just seen). Also, the Senate is looking brighter, and the guys recommend some Peak TV.
Music from this week’s podcast: Good Golly Miss Molly by Little Richard

Mollie! Can’t wait to listen.
Television? Isn’t that what the servants watch while we’re at the opera or theatre?
Did I miss something?
If I didn’t then how did you manage to get through the Kavanaugh brouhaha without referring to or linking to Claire Berlinski’s essay from late last year about the danger of #MeToo to everyone, including the feminists?
@peterrobinson BCS just completed its 4th season and it’s the best one yet.
No spoilers but it ends firmly within the Breaking Bad universe. Just binged it on the AMC Roku app.
“It’s all good man!”
Loved this show. Good golly Miss Molly!
Okay, so come on, guys: is this show edited at all? Around minute 12, it sounds horrible: people not knowing they are on mic, someone not being able to hear someone else, dead air, and then yet another “3….2….1,” which, if I’m not mistaken, is a cue for the editor to cut the previous part out. This seriously happens at least once an episode where someone redoes a line, counts down, and yet it makes it into the episode. Would it be too much to ask to have a editor listen to the episode and truly cut out the parts that the hosts clearly think will be edited out?
Love this podcast otherwise, which makes it so annoying that it is so poorly edited!
Yes, I’m sure @jameslileks would be mortified to listen to the final product.
I enjoy the original raw product.
Apologies, this has now been fixed. Delete the show you have now and re-download it and you’ll get the corrected version.
For the record, I was off the line getting Mollie ready to go when this occurred and I did not hear James do this reset, which is why it was not cut out.
I shall now go hang my head in shame.
I enjoy an occasional peek ‘back stage’ as long as there is no boofing.
“I think it’s time to tap the tremendous strength and vitality and idealism and hope and patriotism in this country to unify our nation to make it great once again.” — Jimmy Carter, 1976
“Make America Great Again” — Donald Trump, 2016
“Make America Great” –Kanye West, 2018
I’m glad I got it before you fixed it.
You missed one:
“Make America Great Again” — Bill Clinton, 1991
Thanks!
It was good to hear Mollie again. I miss her podcasts with Mark. Is there a way to bring them back, even if only occasionally?
I asked them about this last spring at our podcast event and they are thinking about it.
YES!
Fight of the Month? or even Fight of the Quarter?
Make it happen!
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Obama, 2008.
That’s odd. I don’t FEEL fundamentally transformed.
But you’ll never have constipation again.
I do.
Will the last Never Trumper turn out the lights?
So far, the latest Remnant has more than double the comments of this. I hope Jonah is happy. And that he turns out the lights.
Let Mollie do a podcast with Seth Mandel, and let Bethany do a podcast with Mark Hemingway.
Just kidding.
Mollie could help her credibility a great deal by ceasing to reveal that her tastes in music are extraordinarily poor and juvenile, not to mention morally suspect. Not sure if commentators like her are trying to be “cool” or what, but at some point you need to grow up.
What in the world does her taste in music have to do with her credibility? She has major creds and needs to prove nothing.
Especially if I were Mr Hemingway, and considering the lyrics to “Good Golly, Miss Molly” that would be all I need to never do another Ricochet podcast or guest appearance.
@peterrobinson Season 4 of Better Call Saul is playing on AMC right now. I think they’re looking to finish up after season 5 (but maybe 6). And yes, Mollie is great.
Did anyone else think “episode” 420 might be about legalize pot, etc?
