National Review's Radio Free California Podcast
National ReviewA show about the perilous state of the Golden State—and what that means for you, wherever you live. California is the hothouse lab of the Left, the nation-state creating the statist policies, art, and lifestyles of the future – and generating the political dollars to make them a reality in a community near you. Hosts Will Swaim (California Policy Center) and David Bahnsen (The Bahnsen Group, Fox B... more

I loved CA but finally moved out as did all of my friends from High School. Thanks for the analysis so hopefully other states can avoid CA’s mistakes.

I am always impressed with the reasoned and balanced, and principled perspectives on the insanity that goes on in California!
Apple Podcasts5JuicySlicerUnited States3 months ago - Self discipline
Please practice some self correction when discussing K-12 education. Both of you consistently and falsely accuse our teachers of pushing children to question their gender identity.
This is a right wing political agenda which is not supported by any evidence or statistics. I enjoy the show and a fresh perspective on my home state. And I will continue listening. Thank you

Will and David consistently serve up a sumptuous feast of Golden State absurdity. They shed light on the ongoing disaster of one-party government. How much ruin is there in a state? CA is so blessed with resources we may never find out, but at least these guys will keep us informed and entertained till the end.
