Everyone’s favorite prognosticators of pop culture and politics return. This week, the GLoP-sters opine all over Weiner (so to speak), Rob defends his allegedly racy TBS show (Ricochet member Adrian gets a GLoP shout-out), Jonah’s plan to keep the internet safe for our kids, RIP Helen Thomas, and suggestions for who should play Hillary Clinton in the upcoming NBC mini-series. Post your ideas in the comments.

All listeners are advised to seek shelter immediately — but bring your media players because you won’t want to miss a minute of this episode of GLoP Culture. This week, Eliot Spitzer, weird food in the heartland, why movies may be too expensive (and why it doesn’t matter), the Egyptian conundrum, and…SHARKNADO!

This week on the podcast known as GLoP, Rob Long, Jonah Goldberg, and John Podhoretz mull the lessons from the current Republican party bloodletting session, give a concise analysis of the finger-pointing, the selfless sacrifice of Dick Morris, Rob blames the voters but lauds The Life of Pi, Jonah wonders where the poop is, and John predicts the changes that Zucker will bring to CNN. 

This week on the show more elegantly known as GLoP, what bothers John more than a hurricane, more than the prospect of an Obama win, even more than the loss of power and internet? It’s Jonah Goldberg’s verified Twitter account. The horror! Also on this week’s show: the rats in New York City, human behavior in times of crisis, the last look at the 21012 Presidential race (yes!), what happens in the wake of a Romney victory, the worst line of dialogue in the history of movies, John predicts the last jobs report before the election, and Jonah rants about focus groups and then boldly hand picks the closing song.

This week on the the podcast currently known as Goldberg, Long, and Podhoretz (or its street name, GLoP), some reflections on last week’s VP debate, the curious way the President describes his wife, parsing the polls, and some bold predictions about the election in November.

We’ve got a super-sized edition of the podcast today, as our esteemed panel — National Review’s Jonah Goldberg, Commentary’s John Podhortez (also of The NY Post) and our own Rob Long– covers the malaise over the polls, ponders why this campaign cycle isn’t nastier (and therefore more entertaining), dissects the trouble with the undecideds, celebrates the fact that Google is now a moody teenager, makes fun of Apple’s map fiasco, reviews The Master, and much, much more. Hope you have a long road trip or jog in your future —  you’ll need it for this one.
