The Ricochet Podcast
Summary: Ricochet offers the best, smartest, most interesting conversations on the web. Both for your eyes and your ears. But like everything else in life, it isn't free. The podcast you've selected is for members only. So why not join Ricochet, right now? You'll be able to hear the best in center/right conversation on all of our podcasts, make posts on our member feed, and of course, join the conversation on any post on the site. How much? Brace yourself: it's only $3.67 a month. Why $3.67? Well, when we started Ricochet, we pegged the price arbitrarily to the cost of a grande latte at the flagship Starbucks in Seattle. And that's a good way to think about the mission and the community here on Ricochet -- it's a place to have a cup of coffee with some of the brightest, smartest, most interesting people around -- our contributors and our members. Which we hope includes you.
