This week, we wanted to do a show aimed at graduating students -- which is why we booked The WSJ's Andy Kessler to discuss his column Advice to New Grads: Scale or Bail and Amy "Tiger Mom" Amy Chua (yes, her new book Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations isn't strictly for grads, but hey, she's the TIGER MOM). But one of our podcasters decided to hijack that theme and take us on his own magic carpet ride. Still, it's a good show, chock full of advice, life, hacks, and other illuminating factoids. Happy Memorial Day!

After a rousing live edition of the podcast in DC, we're back on virtual home ground and we hit the ground running. First up, our old pal Larry Kudlow former Ricochet podcaster, current Director of the National Economic Council stops by to dish on the economy, Milton Friedman, working in the White House, and he declares a certain podcaster #NeverTrump (spoiler alert: it's not who you think it is). Next up: Matthew Hennessey stops by to chat about his new book Zero Hour For Gen X. Finally, some thoughts on the great Tom Wolfe, who passed away earlier this week from two who knew and admired him.

Music from this week's podcast: Peter and the Wolf, Op. 67 by Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev - Academy of London Orchestra

It takes a special occasion to take The Big Show® to bigger things and higher heights. What's bigger than the AEI/Ricochet Podcast Summit? Try the 400th episode of our aural extravaganza. There are ruminations on the changes in our nation's capital since the Reagan years, presidential portraits and Korean water heaters. (Yeah, Korean water heaters.) Meanwhile, Peter attempts a variety of new Ricochet marketing slogans.

Music from this week's show: River of Dreams by Billy Joel.

This week, we go deep on North Korea with AEI's Nicholas Eberstadt and Salena Zito tells us not to break out the surf boards quite yet -- that blue wave may not be so big after all. Also, Rudy can't fail and Peter Robinson gets schooled on Kanye. Yo.

This week, it's our good pal Jonah Goldberg for the full hour to talk about his new book, Suicide of the West: How the Rebirth of Tribalism, Populism, Nationalism, and Identity Politics is Destroying American Democracy (yes, you MUST buy it!). We delve into the book's argument, the lineage of the title, and what can be done in terms of suicide prevention. It's a fantastic conversation. Also, Rob's in Paris and will there be peace in our time on the Korean Peninsula? Mon dieu!
