The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg
About This Show
Show Info:
In “The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg,” the National Review senior editor and AEI Fellow enlists a Cannonball Run style cast of stars, has-beens and never-weres to address the most pressing issues of the day and of all-time. Is Western Civilization doomed? Is nationalism the wave of the future? Is the Pope Catholic? Will they ever find a new place to put cheese on a pizza? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Who is hotter: Ginger or Mary-Ann? Was Plato really endorsing the Republic as the ideal state? Mixing history, pop culture, rank-punditry, political philosophy, and, at times, shameless book-plugging, Goldberg and guests will have the kinds of conversations we wish they had on cable-TV shout shows. And the nudity will (almost) always be tasteful.Read more »

The Remnant
Regardless of your political bent, Jonah Goldberg is worth reading and listening to. I am excited for this new podcast and have listened to all the episodes. My only complaint thus far is that I wish there were new episodes released more frequently. He has an eclectic variety of discussion topics including political philosophy, his adorable dogs, pop culture and current affairs and always makes me laugh. As someone who identifies as part of the "remnant" he describes in the first episode, I am increasingly grateful to Jonah for being an honest, intelligent voice in the public sphere. Give it a listen!

Good stuff
I have always been a big fan of Goldberg's and this podcast hits the same tone as his columns and his "news" letter the G-File. This is the podcast equivalent of hanging out with friends on a deck with a few beers and cigars and shooting the *profanity is censored*.

Very funny
I'll read/listen to Jonah Goldberg pretty much any time, so I'm thrilled he's got his own podcast now. The first episode was much better than you'd expect for an inaugural effort and will continue to improve as he finds his pod-casting style. I'm looking forward to many more interesting guests and weird, weird references.

Good, BOUND to get better
Jonah brings wit and wisdom to every conversation. Being an inaugural podcast, this had some rough edges, but that only means it will get even better!

Brilliant Podcastery!
Jonah brings his weekly G-File to auditory life, often with a smart, knowledgeable guest from the world of politics/political commentary. For those who want actual and factual critique on today's state of politics, peppered with cultural and comical commentary, Jonah and his trusty sidekick, Jack Butler, deliver with every episode. Grounded in conservative principles and not afraid to snuff the fires and the liars, Goldberg delivers. Be sure to subscribe to annoy Podhoretz and the Weekly sub-Standard guys.

Brilliant and rare
I've been a huge fan of Jonah Goldberg for some time, and I'm thrilled that he has branched out and has his own podcast. Still the only political and cultural commentator I know who can combine that level of erudite (and sesquipedalian...) thoughtful philosophical abstraction with that amount of Simpsons' references, dumb bodily-function jokes, etc.
I guess he's kind of like a simultaneously less mature and more mature Mark Steyn.

My Favorite Podcast
Lots of podcasts offer a philosophical or historical approach to contemporary social and political issues. But none are better than the Remnant at doing so in an entertaining and engaging manner that will never leave you bored or confused. Come for the comparisons of contemporary liberalism to Bismarckian socialism, stay for the erudite discussion of whether the Pope needs a ninja army.

Thoughtful and Hilarious
Big fan of this show, I love the mix of pop-culture and historical references, and the fact that the show is grounded in both a scholastic approach to conservative though, and Bigfoot esoterica, if I can use that term.
