Seeking Cloture

Sometimes, people ask why we wait until Friday afternoons to publish the podcast. The last couple of weeks should answer that question for at least a while. We're lucky to have a full contingent of quality guests this week to help us sort through all the outrage, er, news that has accumulated since last week's show. First up, Ricochet's own Bethany Mandel who has a few opinions on the Kavanaugh confirmation process. Then, one of our favs: the great Andy Ferguson, who's been doing some reading and some thinking about all things Trump. Also, courtesy of Rob Long, an insiders view of the Yale grapevine. Suffice to say, Buffy and Biff are upset. (H/t to Seth Mandel for the title of this week's episode). Music from this week's show: Freddie Freeloader by Miles Davis

Shelter From The Storm

Folks, we're getting to the final act of the election and there's no one better qualified to help us parse it than the Weekly Standard's Andrew Ferguson. We talk Hillary, we talk Trump and his bizarre relationship with Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, the Beatles, and of course, the Nobelist himself, Bob Dylan. Also, where might we be headed from here (and by "we" we mean Ricochet)? @FatherB. asks the question in his post "In which I disparage this website and its founders" on the member feed and as promised, gets it answered on the podcast. Public service announcement: if you’re not a member of Ricochet and enjoy this podcast, be one of the 1,500 and join today. Music from this week’s podcast: Shelter From The Storm by Bob Dylan The brand new opening sequence for the Ricochet Podcast was composed and produced byJames Lileks. Yes, you should absolutely subscribe to this podcast. It helps! And leave a comment too! How does it feel, EJHill?
