The Purple Reign

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

It's not often that a news story breaks while we're recording the podcast, but that's exactly what happened today. We started off talking politics with Bill Kristol and Michael Barone (the former on #NeverTrump and the possibility of a third party and the latter on the now very important California primary and Michael's WSJ piece "Trump Can’t Break the Republican Party") and wound up discussing the passing of Prince and Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday. Eclectic, thou art our brand.

Music from this week’s episode:

Purple Rain by Prince

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

    If Cruz continues to demonstrate his NY Joementum, would it be too late for Mitt Romney to be the white knight?

    When Peter was failing to recall Prince, my wife said, "He's not serious; is he?" I assured her there were indeed people younger than the Queen who didn't know who Prince was, shocking as it may be.

    File this under "Unasked for Advice": If you want more people to pay then either create more content (by people who are professional political pundits) and put it behind the paywall or make all the normal podcasts available to paying members early by a day or more.

    [I'm sure this must have been a discussion when developing your business model but there is nothing wrong with making pivots along the way.]
