And will mankind ever invent something better than ‘90s-era “Simpsons?” Mixing political history, pop culture, rank punditry, and shameless book-plugging, Goldberg and guests will have the kinds of conv... more

  • Dispatch Recap

    Glad you did it. In last few months I noticed you have consultants helping you, but it’s obvious you hate it. The state of the dispatch is you’ve been outflanked by other organizations. Bulwark on the left. Free press and NR on the right. You’re a middling mediocre “news” group. Dispatch is just a 1999 opinion staff at the core. Also behind on technology (typical, cc Steve). One thing you could do to increase revenue is offer ad free podcasts and articles per diem (one click on demand, a common ... more

  • Fair political analysis and commentary

    If you’re looking for balanced political commentary without sycophant worship, this podcast is for you. If someone does something wrong, they’ll call it out regardless of political affiliation, the way that honest reporting is supposed to work.

  • I love listening to Jonah and his excellent guests. When he has someone on from the more progressive side, they're always thoughtful and engage in fair discussion. Jonah clearly knows his stuff on most topics. Only wish he'd quit making excuses for himself. Sick, tired, frazzled, etc. You're GOOD at what you do, Jonah. No worries!

Q: Can we just do a little detour here? Who was Henry George? Why was he important? What was his significance and influence?

Ask a Catholic | Interview: Father Gregory Pine
Q: Where are all the souls that existed before Jesus?

Ask a Catholic | Interview: Father Gregory Pine
Q: If God is all-knowing or if God has a plan and God is going to do what God is going to do, what's the point of prayer?

Parenting in the Modern Age | Interview: Emily Oster
Q: What are the major do's and don'ts for anxious moms?
