The Ricochet Podcast

This week on the Ricochet Podcast, we cover the SCOTUS rulings with the best panel anywhere on the internets: Ricochet Editor emeritus Mollie Hemingway stops by to give perspective on how the media covered the rulings, and Ricochet contributor Adam Freedman (buy his new book, A Less Perfect Union) visits to give us the legal rationale — as well as a way the ruling might be circumvented.

Today on the Ricochet Podcast, a rare three guest show: first, the dean of political pundits Michael Barone stops by to give us the low down on Trump, Jindal, and the rest of the field. Then, our own Richard Epstein (aka “The Human Paragraph”) stops by to opine on King v. Burwell (spoiler alert: Professor Epstein thinks the court got it wrong), and finally. R.R. Reno, Editor of First Things joins... Source

This week, we’re giving the regular crew off so we can bring you this special edition of the Ricochet Podcast featuring our entire editorial staff. Troy Senik, Jon Gabriel, Claire Berlinski, Tom Meyer, and Rob Long gather together (well, virtually though the magic of Skype) to opine on Trump and how he harms Jeb’s (!) chances at winning the nomination. Also, the future of education... Source

This week, the New York Times thinks a fishing boat is a yacht — luckily, we have fishing and GOP politics expert (and Florida native son) Rick Wilson to get us back on course. He also gives us (that includes Troy Senik, sitting in for Rob Long) a high-altitude overview of the 2016 race, including Jeb Bush, Rick Perry, and Carly Fiorina. Also, are we going back into Iraq? And finally... Source

It’s always must hear podcasting when our good friend Ann Coulter stops by and this episode is no exception. Ann’s new book Adios America: The Left’s Plan To Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole is as provocative as the title suggests, and the conversation does not disappoint, including but not limited to her choice for 2016 (hint: Doc Brown needs to start warming up the DeLorean). Also... Source

You asked questions, we give answers. Also, Rob hates his iPhone, Peter loves his Beemer, and James doesn’t like artisanal cupcake shops (you’ll have to listen to decode that). Thanks to everyone for all the great questions. Music from this week’s episode: Watch Your Step by Elvis Costello and The Attractions The opening sequence for the Ricochet Podcast was composed and produced by James Lileks. Source

After a brief hiatus, The Ricochet Podcast returns with nothing short of revolution on its mind. Our guest this week: the great Charles Murray, to discuss his latest book By the People: Rebuilding Liberty Without Permission, an argument for civil disobedience. Will it catch on? Also, who are the top ten GOP candidates, should our candidates appear on George Stephanopoulos’s show (h/ Source

This week, we turn our attentions across the pond and call on the endlessly entertaining and insightful James Delingpole to walk us through the intricacies of today’s elections in Great Britain as only he can. But that’s not all, we also cover the Texas shootings, the latest Presidential aspirants, Brady’s Ball-Ghazi (yes, a rare Ricochet Podcast sports topic), and if you live in Iowa or New... Source
