I’m reposting an episode of the Invisible Men podcast, hosted by Ian Rowe and Nique Fajors. They had me on to talk about Late Admissions, the bias and development narratives, and a lot more.

You can find video of this episode there or at my newsletter, https://glennloury.substack.com.

It may be cold outside, but the first Q&A of 2025 is a hot one. John and Glenn talk negotiating the modern mediasphere, the German language, education after affirmative action, code switching, social media and AI, and maintaining a friendship in spite of political differences.

In this bonus episode, I sit down with my son, Glenn Cartman Loury II, to talk about the big topics: life, death, and change. This is a heavy, real conversation. We “reminisce” about caring for Linda—my wife and Glenn’s mother—during the final stages of terminal cancer. We talk about who we were then, who we are now, and why we work so hard to change our lives. I’m seeking solace from my son, and true solace can only come from confronting reality, rather than turning away from it and taking refuge in comforting illusions.

LaJuan has appeared in a handful of episodes, but I don’t feel like you really know her yet. I wanted to use this episode to introduce you to my lovely wife. We talk about how her difficult early life shaped her political views, how she developed her love of reading and ideas, her alienation from Democrats and the liberal center, and her personal connection to Beyoncé.

Right after I taped this week’s episode with John McWhorter, I got on a call with my creative director Nikita Petrov, expecting some follow ups.
Normally, free subscribers to the newsletter and podcast have to wait until Friday receive the new episode. And normally Q&A sessions with John McWhorter, in which we answer questions posed by the audience, are only available to full subscribers. But today is no normal day—I’m releasing our Q&A from last month to everyone.

This is the Post-Show episode following this week’s conversation with John McWhorter. In it, Glenn sits down with his editor Mark Sussman and his creative director Nikita Petrov to talk about the election, why he understands where Trump’s supporters are coming from, the meaning of voting, and the possibility that Trump might release sealed documents relating to the JFK assassination.
If you subscribe only to the free version of this podcast, you’ll notice this episode has arrived a few days early. I figured that by Friday, when the episode normally drops for the general public, it will be out of date already, so we’re releasing it to everyone today. If you find you enjoy starting your week with The Glenn Show, consider becoming a paying subscriber, which will get you early access to episodes, along with a host of other benefits.
