This week, we’ve got Powerline’s John Hinderaker in the Long Chair®, John Yoo protecting us from sentient robots (read his new book Striking Power: How Cyber, Robots, and Space Weapons Change the Rules for War ), and the Hoover Institution’s Kori Schake with some thoughts on how to take down Rocket Man. Also, Minnesota statues and other assorted ephemera.
Music from this week's podcast: Rocket Man (feat. Iron Horse) by Pickin’ On Series from The Bluegrass Tribute to Classic Rock Hits.
I’m afraid I can’t do that, @ejhill

The Best!
I accidentally discovered Ricochet several years ago when I was desperate to find an intelligent podcast. Great conversations and interviews...incredibly informative. I highly recommend this to anyone who is tired of all of the shouting involved in most political discussions. Never dry...always entertaining.

Refreshing and witty!
We anticipate the release of a new Ricochet podcast and fill our considerable road time with erudite conversations about current events and culture. Listeners will each have favorites depending on their location, general political interests, etc., but they won't be bored whatever podcast they prefer

Great content. Too much sales
Great discussions and information. The too-frequent ads and jarring transitions really take you out of the dialogue. If you're really not making anything on the ads, quickly mention the name and coupon code and get back to the delicious meat!

Great fun for any conservative
This is one of the best conservative podcasts, it is irreverent at times. always funny and informative. Smart talk on being practical and conservative in Obama's America.

Indispensable podcast!
There is nothing like the Ricochet podcast. If you're interested in thoughtful, funny political/cultural commentary, let this be your first stop.
