Iowa

This week, we settle all family business (so the saying goes) as after 18 months of jabbering about the election, voters in Iowa are actually going to the polls. To get the best insight into this long awaited event, we go to two experts actually at Ground Zero, aka Des Moines. The Washington Examiner’s Byron York weighs […]

After a week off, we’re back and putting our best foot forward with guests Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and our good friend and podcaster Professor Richard Epstein. The Senator talks to us about Iran, Guantanamo, and his controversial “endorsement” of Bernie Sanders. Speaking of Sanders, our hosts explain why they admire him and wish Republicans would emulate him. Yes, you read that right. Later... Source

Welcome to 2016, faithful podcast listeners. We start off the year strongly with two of our most popular guests: the great Victor Davis Hanson and the no less great Andrew Klavan. There's lots of talk about warriors ancient and modern, some Trump, some Europe. Even some talk about the current crop of movies. But seriously, no spoilers.

A few links related to this show:

Victor Davis Hanson's The Classicist podcast is a must listen and is hosted by some guy named Troy Senik. No, we've never heard of him either.

Andrew Klavan recently started a podcast of his own and despite the fact that it's not on our network, we still think you should listen to it.

On our last podcast of 2015, we spent a fair amount of time arguing about spoilers (OK, James and Rob argued, the rest of us (including Peter Robinson) just listened.  That conversation inspired this Martini Shot, the audio commentary Rob does for KCRW.

Music from this week’s episode:

I'll Be Around by The Spinners
