A Blast From The Past

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

You asked for more face time with The Founders®, and here it is: our first Question Time show of 2020 (there will be more!). We cover some Ricochet history, get into a feisty debate about abortion, take a brief break with Henry Olsen, host of our new Horse Race podcast to make some hay (see what we did there?) on impeachment and some key Senate races. Also, Lileks opines on the new Star Trek series, and the hosts pick a historical moment they'd like to visit once we achieve a critical mass of members (what are YOU waiting for? Join today!).

Thanks for all the great questions, Ricochet members!

Music from this week's show: Happy Feet by The Manhattan Rythm Kings

    Wonderful news that Peter is working on a book documenting the history of the Berlin wall speech. Looking forward to reading it.

    That was fun. I missed the Question Time post. You put it on the Main Feed, didn't you?

    Good outro music.

    Is AOC more or less likely to be re-elected than Ilhan Omar?

    Does Peter think young people today will READ A BOOK about ANYTHING? Even a short book about the fall of theBerlin wall. etc? I doubt they think it has any relevance to their shiny selves and their even-shinier Wokeness.
