The Norman Conquests

Only a very few guests warrant two segments on the Ricochet Podcast aka, America's Most Trusted Podcast® and one of those people is the great Norman Podhoretz (around these parts, we call him "The Podfather). We talk to Norman (who's a sprightly 89) about his recent conversion to a supporter of the President, the history of the Conservative movement, how he may have singlehandedly invented the hippy, and much more. Norman is a walking, talking museum of American politics of the last 70 years, and we highly recommend this interview. Also, are aliens among us (or at least above us)? A Ricochet Podcast investigation. Music from this week's show: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Soundtrack by John Williams

Hosted by James Lileks, Peter Robinson, and Rob Long
