You guys are such republican elitist snobs. I'm done.
A staple of conservative media from the publication founded by William F. Buckley.
The quality of content is high, though this varies a little with which editors are on a given episode. Charles C.W. Cooke is S-Tier while Michael Brendan Dougherty is...not.
My biggest critique by far is the quality of the production. The sound quality among the panelists is highly variable, gross mistakes are left in the final product, and extra eous noises are common and distracting (esp. with Foster and MBD).... more
I really like Dan Foster! So balanced and reasonable. More and more, Noah Rothman just seems angry.
Not Gee or Zee
Most of you say a lot while never making a valid point, and week to week I never know which side you will take on any given issue, it tends to change every episode. Noah should start his own podcast.

A sharp roundtable of National Review editors and contributors dissects current political events with policy analysis, strategic framing, and brisk banter. Episodes commonly thread together foreign policy tensions (notably Iran and U.S. diplomacy), regulatory and legal developments (courts, redistricting, antitrust themes), and domestic political dynamics, all while blending culture, media commentary, and sponsor reads into the conversation. Notable strengths include candid interchanges among seasoned conservatives, a willingness to challenge conventional narratives, and a mix of hard-edged policy discussion with accessible, personality-driven dialogue that can appeal to listeners seeking thoughtful, opinionated discourse.
