Good information source, with guests and topics mainly of interest to conservatives. Most guests are politically or culturally important. They also bring a guest with strong liberal arts info, to cover a specific topic that you may have studied sometime but it is great to get a reminding review. Little or no chit chat here—I am uninterested in that. Instead, there is emphasis on presenting facts on the issues, then the guest’s opinions or predictions.
