  • Not Good

    Host is a weak interviewer and topics are all over the place. I am unsure what the majority of these episodes have to do with Ronald Reagan.

    You have stolen your “new” of speaking from a different podcast. Shame on you

  • Very informative podcast about Reagan’s ideals

    Each podcast tackles a different aspect of Reagan’s strongest beliefs and the host and guest unpack it in an informative and yet positively-biased manner. Some episodes struggle with audio quality, cell phone frequency inference for example, and I’d prefer the host interrupt or answer his own question a bit less. However, the guests are excellent and the regular questions of favorite Reagan book/speech/quote allow for more investigation after the episodes are done. Thanks and keep them coming... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America: Reaganism with Michael Auslin
Q: Explain the different ways you wanted to engage the Declaration.
He describes three 'lives' of the Declaration: its material history and preservation, its evolution as a symbol and creed, and its role as a cultural object that connects civics with commerce and daily life.
National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America: Reaganism with Michael Auslin
Q: Tell us about why you made this shift from Asia to America and the Declaration.
Auslin discusses recognizing a natural tie between his prior focus on American engagement abroad and a desire to understand America from within, leading to a lifelong question of what the Declaration has meant to the nation and why it has shaped so much of American identity.
Unlocking the Strait of Hormuz: Reaganism with Mark Montgomery
Q: What is the current state of the blockade and its impact on Iran and global oil markets?
The blockade is an economic instrument intended to pressure Iran by curtailing its fossil fuel revenue, while the U.S. expects allied support to sustain it; the short-term effect is higher fuel prices and market volatility, but there is a perceived longer-term benefit if Iran yields.
Great Power Diplomacy: Reaganism with Wess Mitchell
Q: What is the main takeaway about Kissinger and Nixon's opening to China in relation to containment?
Their approach replenished the viability of containment by buying space in Asia, enabling a strategic realignment that ultimately reinforced the broader goal of containing the Soviet threat while opening opportunities for balance-of-power diplomacy.
Great Power Diplomacy: Reaganism with Wess Mitchell
Q: How does the book address appeasement vs. diplomacy in the Chamberlain era?
Chamberlain's diplomacy failed due to pursuing concessions in the most critical theaters with a weak hand; effective diplomacy should constrain adversaries and rely on strong coalitions and prepared power, not solely on conciliatory gestures.
