It's relatively rare to put out a Ricochet Podcast with only one guest, but when that guest is Victor Davis Hanson, well that's all you need. First, we do a deep dive on Victor's new must-read book The Second World Wars: How the First Global Conflict Was Fought and Won, a definitive history of WWII. Then, a bit of talk about current events, including North Korea. Go get your thinking cap out of storage -- you'll need it for this show.
Music from this week's episode: It's Been A Long Long Time - Bing Crosby with Les Paul

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!

The Ricochet Flagship podcast is, as the name indicates, the flagship podcast for the website ricochet.com. The podcast is intended to stir up conversation, as the site is built around forums in addition to several other very good podcasts.

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.
