Modern Men

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (visit his site, Gingrich Productions) stops by to discuss disruptive technology, rail against big government, celebrate the rise of the states, examine the future of education, and suggest how to get Congress to promote entrepreneurs. And, of course, he also has a few thoughts on where the party goes from here. Then, National Review's Bob Costa on the Ted Cruz contretemps and why he (Cruz, not Bob) is probably running for president, along with a whole host of other inside info from Capitol Hill. Also, Peter Robinson's tattoo and James Lileks' spell checker. Or lack of one.

Music from this week's show:

Modern Man by Arcade Fire

The Ricochet Podcast opening theme was composed and produced by James Lileks.
