Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

A little more than 6 years ago on a rainy day in the back room of a bungalow in Venice, California, we recorded the first Ricochet Podcast on an old school MacBook. The cast has changed slightly since then, but through one and a half Presidential cycles, two mid-terms, countless culture wars, good guests, bad guests, Skype glitches, and even bad weather, we have persevered. So it's with great pleasure that we bring you this, our 300th show with guests Harry Shearer and Pat Sajak. We won't delve into the topics here, but rest assured, they are widely entertaining and diverse.

Thanks to all you, our loyal listeners who tune in each, and thanks to our sponsors, who help keep the lights on. On to #301!

The opening sequence for the Ricochet Podcast was composed and produced by James Lileks.

Yes, you should absolutely subscribe to this podcast. It helps!

Thanks to the great EJHill for the hundreds of amazing Photoshops (like this one).

    Not to quibble, but the podcast began 6 years ago, or just about 6 years ago. As I recall, the podcast came a few months before the launch of the original site.

    The oldest piece of podcast art on my hard drive (transferred from two laptops ago): October 9_2010And this, to the best of my recollection, was just posted in the comments section. And I didn't even post it. Back in the early days of 1.0 I had to email Diane Ellis every snarky Photoshop I wanted to share. In our current episode, James and Co. recall the famous Emergency Broadcast System error from 1971. I posted about this (audio included) a little over a year ago. And so did James at The Bleat. For giggles, here's the earliest known archive of Ricochet at Archive.org. Before that it was the domain of a wireless internet provider. Happy days.

    Typo, fixed. Thanks!

    I boldly, courageously agree with everyone who has eyes: EJ Hill's Photoshops are amazing, and they seem to go from strength to strength. If you handed EJ $50 million and the crew of "Avatar", he could give you a brand new feature film with Katherine Hepburn at age 25. And I, for one, would pay to see it.
