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 trio is back for 2024! The reunited gang is happy to welcome back Ayaan Hirsi Ali to discuss the West’s crisis of confidence and its fumbling attempt at post-Judeo-Christianity. Plus James, Rob and Peter have a few thoughts about Claudine Gay’s resignation, and they divulge their philosophies on new year’s resolutions.
- This week’s opening sound: Mara Gay of the NYT Editorial Board on the resignation of Harvard’s president (Morning Joe on MSNBC)

Abandonment of God is our issue. Anything less than a return is death
I really enjoyed the interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Haven’t listened for awhile. Greatly enjoyed the interview with Ms. Ali. Trying to wrap my head around Rob in divinity school. I hope it’s based on something more than the mushroom trip in South America?
James made it official. I was a regular listener back in the day and I have always hoped for its return so with today’s commitment, it seems there is no turning back. The Diner returns!
In response to the food pyramid: My sister often says that once the government started pushing the food pyramid, Americans started resembling the pyramid!
They might be trying to turn us into Krell, except they don’t want us to be that smart.
I love Rob Long actually reading Claudine Gay.
Every so often I screw up my courage and use our fancy-shmancy but aging scale to weigh myself…Like Peter Robinson, I step off and then step back on it, hoping for a happier number…That a man of such enormous accomplishments as PR could be so, well, honestly “human” makes Ricochet all the more a delight.
Being a Catholic who may well have eaten meat with a salad fork, I am no Episcopalian, but I am looking forward to hearing one of the brilliant three addressed as “the Reverend Rob”…
Like so many, I have been moved by the recent news of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s conversion. She was, as always, in top form. Please have her back.
One slight correction on Rob’s discussion of Three Mile Island: it was in PA.
A braver man that I!
I read the original, Carol Swain version …
Ha. Love it!
