Bitcoins, Brexit, and The Plight of The Disappearing Pundit

It's another Super-Sized edition of the Ricochet Podcast (1 hour and 20 minutes!) and we're all over the map and all over the news to bring you very best in podcast punditry. First up, the great George Gilder (his new book The Scandal of Money: Why Wall Street Recovers but the Economy Never Does is a must read) stops by to talk about why conservatives have such a hard time winning the economic debate in the court of public opinion and (perhaps related), the rise of digital currencies. Then, our pal Toby Young (listen to London Calling, the podcast he hosts with James Delingpole) stop by to discuss the looming Brexit and the new book he just edited Just Say No: The Spectator On The 1975 Referendum. Should Britain head for the economic exit? Let us know in the comments below. Finally, each we week take post from Ricochet's world renown Member Feed and give it some Ricochet Podcast love. This week's featured post from DocJay (welcome back, sir) is titled What Will Happen to the Conservative Pundits When They Are Completely Unstuck and suffice to say it kindles a --shall we say-- very passionate (but civil!) conversation. So come for the economics and stay for the punditry. You'll be glad you did.

Music from this week’s episode:

I Just Wasn't Made For These Times by The Beach Boys
