  • One of my favourites

    In my nightly line up of podcasts, if the Posse is there it goes to the top of my list.

    There is never a personal attack. The comments are respectful, the arguments are thoughtful. Well done.

  • Disappointed

    I was very disappointed in your softball interview of James Carville. This man along with the rest of his ilk have the blood of millions of unborn children on his hands yet you decided to let him dance around his reasoning for supporting abortion. I thought you were better than this. I was wrong.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Patriotism Under Attack? Rachel Campos-Duffy on America 250
Q: What is your pitch to Zoomers to embrace capitalism and the founding vision?
Capitalism with moral and religious ethics can balance freedom with responsibility; tell the full, honest stories of economic history, including the negative sides of socialism, to give young people a grounded understanding of prosperity and virtue.
Victor Davis Hanson: What Happened to Patriotism?
Q: Can you give us a little preview of your new book and what the midterms might look like?
The guest previews his upcoming work as a counterrevolution narrative focusing on Donald Trump, while arguing that the midterms hinge on the electorate's reaction to questions about why PBS and universities are perceived as biased, and whether Republicans can regain momentum through addressing root causes rather than symptoms.
Frankie Avalon: How He Almost Said No to His Greatest Role
Q: Tell me about your experience working with John Wayne on The Alamo.
I learned discipline and drawing from watching the greats; Wayne taught me to stay true to the character, to be practical, and to respect the process, which made The Alamo a defining experience in my early film career.
Frankie Avalon: How He Almost Said No to His Greatest Role
Q: Tell me about 1978. You were offered a role in Grease. You had seen the play?
I initially passed on Grease because I didn't want to appear as just a pretty face; once the team offered changes to fit my style, I reconsidered and embraced the Teen Angel role.
Remembering Tom Dreesen: Sinatra, Carson & a Golden Age of Showbiz
Q: What was it like getting your first Tonight Show slot and how did it change your career?
He describes the enormity of the audience then, the makeup room, the curtain, and Johnny Carson's signature moment that set the course for his longevity in show business.
