The Importance of Studying Pop Culture

Today’s Ruminant finds Jonah on an uncharacteristic high, and no, his good mood can’t be attributed to a certain substance that was recently discovered in the White House. He’s actually in elevated spirits because a recent AEI event prompted him to rediscover the work of Paul Cantor, a late scholar at the University of Virginia who analyzed pop culture through a conservative lens. He begins today’s program with a thorough exploration of Cantor’s work, before delivering similarly overlong rants on the American Founding and the purpose of the Supreme Court. Sometimes, the Remnant can feel like a wonderful drug.

Show Notes:

-Jonah and friends discuss Paul Cantor

-“The Macbeth of Meth”

-Vanity Fair: “America Has a Supreme Court Problem”

-The Remnant celebrates the Fourth of July
