We're down one host this week (Lileks is on assignment), but it's a super-sized edition of The Ricochet Podcast, clocking in at almost 90 minutes of chat time. This week on the podcast, Ricochet contributor Matthew Hennessey on that Rolling Stone cover, religion in daily life, living in a bubble with four kids, and why he shouldn't be driving. Then, SCTV legend (and former stealth Ricochet member) Joe Flaherty stops by to reminisce about his early days at Second City, how he got on SCTV, and how and why he became a conservative. Also, the problem with contributors not contributing enough, and some straight talk on immigration.

Music from this week's show:

Cover of The Rolling Stone by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show

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