National Review's Radio Free California Podcast

I’m an NR guy in South Florida. I only hear brief bits here and there about The Golden State. These guys give an entertaining and sincere take on what’s transpiring in California’s state and national politics. Definitely worth a listen, and many more!

I understand Trump is a flawed individual, as we all are, but the level of Trump bashing(from two of your more recent podcasts)and overly critical commentary isn’t really helpful. It is definitely more irritating and grating in nature than it is encouraging or constructive. On those two podcasts I just turned it off and went to somebody different. Maybe I’m alone in my response, but it’s hard to believe that others aren’t as equally annoyed. I do enjoy your podcast, I’d say the majority of the time, but could you just let up on the Trump bashing until we get past this election…and then go at it!!

A weekly chronicle of the legislative stupidity that characterizes our beloved Golden State. From Cali defaulting on Covid loans to the tender care given to squatters, to Gavin’s math-challenged budget shenanigans and municipal clowns (Oakland in particular), you need to know this. They’ll never admit it but I hope the Cali Caucus in Congress is listening.

Each episode, Will Swaim of the California Policy Center provides a meaty list of California political news items that help elucidate what's driving the myriad of problems Californians are facing – while David Bahnsen lends his invaluable perspective and analysis. On top of this, the two hosts provide a much needed sense of humor to help listeners enjoy digesting what is often some fairly disheartening news. Thank goodness we have these hosts and their organizations (including The National Review) keeping watch and providing this essential investigative reporting. This podcast is an all around great listen, and one I always look forward to keep me up to date.
