The Ricochet Podcast #276 -- This week, the Pope is in town -- there's a lot to say about that and we do, pretty much in real time as it's happening (shout out to Ricochet member Egg Man for providing updates in the chat room). Then, our good friend and fellow podcaster Jay Nordlinger stops by to discuss his new book Children of Monsters: An Inquiry into the Sons and Daughters of Dictators. It's a fascinating book about the children of some of the worst people in history. You should buy it. Of course, we also delve into some politics and music, and even a bit of Rob Long adoration. Then, a very special announcement concerning Ricochet and Jon Gabriel (no, we're not getting married -- but close). Finally, a few words about the great Yogi Berra. Listen in!

A couple of times a year, we assemble our far flung editorial staff (that’s Troy Senik, Jon Gabriel, Claire Berlinski, and Tom Meyer) on the Ricochet Podcast and let them riff on the issues of the day and give some dap to their favorite Ricochet member posts of the recent past. And in this, the last show of the Summer of Trump®, that’s exactly what we’ve done. Spoiler alert: Lileks checks in from... Source
