The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg

A VERY refreshing change to the aging format of modern-day podcasts. Like most folks, I enjoy routines, but the podcast world, ESPECIALLY the conservative podcast world, was due for a change. Overdue, actually. When I want predictable, I listen to the Commentary podcast. Don't get me wrong, they provide some interesting insight now and again. But the gaps in those moments are growing. Right along with a lot of whining. But I digress. The Remnant arrived right on time to fill the slot that I used to listen to the Weekly Standard. When the aliens who abducted the real Bill Kristoll returns, I may give them a shot. Until then... But back to the point. Jonah has a knack of being... well JONAH! It's nice to have some one sort through the mess that is current American culture and politics with a sense of humor that makes me want to have a beer or single malt nearby, while at the same time referencing things that force me to use my Google-Fu just to hang with some subjects. I'm sure he doesn't know it, but he's teaching a lot of his listeners things they were either too young to really know about, or too busy to pay attention to because they were raising families and such. Some teaching is needed. If anything is apparent nowadays, it's that. So, while he may think he doesn't know what he's doing, many of us in our "wisdom of the crowd" (Yes. I just did that) know what he's doing, and we like it. I hope he keeps not knowing what he's doing. That may be the secret sauce to The Remnant.
