In “The Remnant," Jonah Goldberg enlists a “Cannonball Run”-style cast of stars, has-beens, and never-weres to address the most pressing issues of the day. Is America doomed? Has liberalism failed? 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

It’s time to be honest: Jonah Goldberg can’t remember if he’s ever had a Nobel Prize-winning guest on The Remnant. If that shocks you, calm down. It’s called getting old. After today, however, Jonah can say with certainty that he has, as he is joined... more
Jonah Goldberg scratches an intellectual itch in this 90-minute interview with British historian Edward Shawcross to discuss the rise and fall of Napoleon III. Is this the start of modern politics? Can we compare Trump to this unlikely political vict... more
Jonah Goldberg records this week’s Ruminant days before his excursion to the woods (Bigfoot sighting anyone?), to discuss international law, hubris, whatever the mess is with the Iran war, and “common good” conservatism. And he answers questions from... more
Bleary-eyed, scrambled, and in need of a second overpriced venti black coffee, Jonah Goldberg speaks with Brendan Simms, a Cambridge Don-guy who wears fancy belts, about his new book, Return of the Great Powers, which discusses how the Russia-Ukraine... more

Great conversations and dog talk. Jonah is my favorite Lib of all the Libs!! Best thing Jonah does besides the floor is lava!
Like the ask me anything pods!
Decent Show. Didn’t understand why I was listening to him, but I was.
Wouldn’t say I was missing it, but found myself listening to about every third episode.
With the economy in tough shape, and 40% of Americans can’t afford an unexpected expense of $1,000, he now believes his sometimes middle amusing, shared self-moan is worth monkey many of is don’t have?
As Maggie on Caddyshack said…. Tanks Fer Nuttin!
I listen to lots of podcasts, the way they make money off of me is through ads. I used to subscribe to The Dispatch but my interest fell off both due to them switching out their main podcast host and my politics not being as aligned in the last few years - and honestly I wanted to consume less politics. But I still liked listening to Jonah on occasion. Taking this behind the paywall was a purely a business decision (probably a desperate one) that I feel like will hurt this podcast and will likel... more
Congress cannot provide in a statute that Unconstitutional acts cannot be reviewed by the courts. It took Justice Alito to determine that Trump’s statements about Haitians were not racist, in one of the great pretzel-bending discussions of all time. And that even one non-racial pretext is sufficient to preserve Constitutionality. That is why so many legal scholars are up in arms over the TPS case. And yes, I did listen to Advisory Opinions before writing this.
Very confusing points made on this podcast with Podhoretz… “we liked Midnight Hammer, we don’t like that he stopped where he did, no difference than the JCPOA but Iran is weaker, we did want regime change but not who we are talking to… the strait was”open” blah blah
Good discussion with Charlie Cooke. He gave you the solution to expanding your paid subscribers for the Dispatch. Start (again) prioritizing the larger threats to this country. Everyone has heard your beef with the guys on the rig... more

The show centers on cerebral political analysis that blends history, philosophy, and culture with sharp debates on liberalism, conservatism, and modern governance. Across episodes, topics swing from liberal philosophy and its historical roots to critiques of contemporary political movements, economic policy, and media dynamics, often featuring guests who challenge conventional viewpoints. A notable strength is the long-form, idea-forward format that invites nuanced discussion rather than punditry, with occasional live events and promotional reads that reflect a network-driven mix of content and sponsorship. Potential listeners who enjoy rigorous argument, historical context, and a willingness to entertain competing ideas will find it especi... more
