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.

Podcasts:
ObamaCare crashes, Barbour advises on how the GOP should react, DeMint on Heritage's mission, an alternative to ObamaCare, why the tanking is a teachable moment and opportunity to for the GOP, a possible location for the 2016 convention, and a lesson from Lileks on gas station economics.
This week, election results from all over, Heather Higgins on MyCancellation.com and the women's vote in Virginia. Then, "American Wonk" podcaster Avik Roy talks ACA and why the kids aren't alright with it.
Rob Long returns, Dave Carter on the Vegas meet-up (or what he can remember of it), and P.J. O'Rourke on health care, writing, Lou Reed, and living in New Hampshire.
This week on the podcast, Mollie Hemingway or pro-creation, baseball, and religion, and Mona Charen continues her quest to prove why shutdown strategies don't work.
Troy Senik sits in for Rob Long, Washington Examiner's Tim Carney on the political fallout from the shutdown, and David Limbaugh is --not surprisingly-- energized by the whole thing.
Rob Long, John Podhoretz, Ann Coulter, Tommy De Seno, and Ricochet contributors convene at Galway Pub in Manhattan. Special thanks to Ricochet member Dick From Brooklyn for making this evening possible.

Charles Kesler discusses the new paperback edition of his book "I Am The Change: Barack Obama and the Future of Liberalism" and National Review's Robert Costa tantalizes us with his off-the-record conversation with the President and updates on the shutdown/ACA fight.
Pat Sajak, Ted Cruz, newly minted Ricochet editor Jon Gabriel, and more!
This week, two giants grace us with their presence and wisdom. First the great Norman Podhoretz (or as we like to call him, "The Podfather") stops by to talk about Sryria and the Obama administration's fumbling toward a resolution. Then, our old friend David Limbaugh joins to school us on the fundamentals of the conservative movement. Bracing!
This week, Syria, the Russians, and the President. Then, we're joined by authors Tevi Troy and Rod Dreher. Tevi discusses his new book "What Jefferson Read, Ike Watched, and Obama Tweeted: 200 Years of Popular Culture in the White House". Later Rod Dreher discusses his piece "Story Lines, Not Party Lines" and the dearth of storytelling amongst conservative candidates. Finally, a long meditation on New York City, war, and the meaning of 9/11.
Avik and Manhattan Institute colleague Yevgeniy Feyman discuss their new interactive map, published at Forbes, which explores the impact of Obamacare on the cost of health insurance in every U.S. state plus D.C.
We parse the entire Syrian question with experts on both the Middle East and political perspective. The Hoover Institution's Fouad Ajami explains why we should take action, and National Review's political correspondent Robert Costa gives the the political implications and how the Republican vote will most likely play out. Finally, the topic that the hosts won't touch. What is it? You'll have to listen all the way to the end of the show to find.
It's our last podcast of the summer and to mark the change of season, we've reunited the crew after their far-flung vacations and adventures. This week, we answer the burning questions of the day: Is Rob Long actually a gift from God? What the heck is going in Egypt? What's the deal with Chris Christie? And finally, will California change Paul Rahe or will Paul Rahe change California? We're betting on the latter.
This week, Rob and James are cruising but their deck shoes are more than filled by Ricochet editor Mollie Hemingway. She and Peter discuss traditional households, and the incredible changing culture. Then The Weekly Standard's Phil Terezian joins to discuss the sale of the Washington Post to Jeff Bezos. Later, we're joined by Baseball Crank Dan McLaughlin who discusses his "73 Rules for Republicans Running For Office."
