Political podcast pundits abound: Slate’s <span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Political Gabfest</span> and <span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Trumpcast</span>; <span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">NPR Politics</span>; <span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">FiveThirtyEight Elections</span>; Vox’s <span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">The Weeds.</span> Two members of Obama’s administration have even started their own political podcasts: director of speechwriting Jon Favreau, on The Ringer’s <span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Keepin’ It 1600</span>, and senior adviser David Axelrod, on <span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">The Axe Files</span>.</font></p><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">But there’s not much ideological diversity in the conversation. As of this writing, the only conservative shows in iTunes' News & Politics top 50 are rebroadcasts of syndicated talk shows: Glenn Beck's, and Mark Levin's. Podcasts have proven a viable platform to reach a liberal audience, just as radio talk shows have for conservative listeners. But what does that mean for the Americans in the middle? If you see November's vote as choosing the lesser of two evils, where can you listen?</font></p><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“How could libertarians and social conservatives get along? How can we talk about it, while following certain rules of propriety?” says Rob Long, a contributing editor at the <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">National Review</em>. “There’s surely a place where that can happen, without everyone being a jerk.” With 1.3 million downloads per month---and growing fast since the start of the primaries---Long and his friend Peter Robinson, research fellow at the Hoover Institution, believe they’re creating that space: <a data-offer-url="https://ricochet.com/podcasts/" class="external-link" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://ricochet.com/podcasts/"}" href="https://ricochet.com/podcasts/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="blank" data-uri="349cbb5f7bc79cfbf2c865c7f65f6276" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; cursor: pointer; --colortoken-name:colors.interactive.base.light; transition: color 200ms ease 0s; line-height: inherit;">the Ricochet Network</a>.</font></p><div role="heading" aria-level="3" class="paywall heading-h3" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 40px 0px 16px; --type-token:consumptionEditorial.subhed-break-secondary; font-feature-settings: normal; letter-spacing: -0.014em; line-break: auto; line-height: 1em; font-weight: 900; overflow-wrap: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Conversations Among Conservatives</font></div><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">When they started the original Ricochet podcast in 2011, Long and Robinson wanted to create a space where they could have thoughtful conversations with conservative commentators. “A podcast was a natural way for us to reach a lot of people in conversation, rather than talk radio monologue,” says Long.</font></p><div class="Container-inlOGG fUgTuc" data-event-boundary="click" data-event-click="{"pattern":"CNEInterludeEmbed"}" data-include-experiments="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" /><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“There’s not a talk radio program on the left that can begin to approach right talk radio, but the center right doesn’t seem to be making use of the internet,” Robinson says. He attributes much of the liberal slant of podcasts to the media companies who invested in the space early on: Slate and NPR and <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">The New Yorker</em>, which each support top political shows, all started podcasts years ago.</font></p><div data-attr-viewport-monitor="inline-recirc" class="inline-recirc-wrapper inline-recirc-observer-target-1 viewport-monitor-anchor" data-event-boundary="click" data-event-click="{"pattern":"InlineRecirc"}" data-include-experiments="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" /><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">True to their mission, the flagship podcast does feel like a conversation between friends, rather than the one-man-show of talk radio. Along with their co-host, journalist James Lileks, the two talk about current events, but also poke fun at each other, and assume distinct roles: Long, who wrote for <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Cheers</em> before <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">National Review</em>, is more brash and jovial; Robinson, a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, is more of a policy expert.</font></p><div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div class="ConsumerMarketingUnitThemedWrapper-kkguSn begTBt consumer-marketing-unit consumer-marketing-unit--article-mid-content" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="consumer-marketing-unitslot consumer-marketing-unitslot--article-mid-content consumer-marketing-unitslot--in-content" style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><div class="journey-unit" style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></div></div><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">As they see it, that mix of grounded wonkery and dogma-free discussion is a solution for those millions in the middle: people who are as put off by Rush Limbaugh's bombastic delivery as by David Plotz's liberal message. According to Robinson, most of Ricochet’s users (both listeners and those participating in the online forum) are in liberal college towns and state capitals like Champaign, Illinois and Austin, Texas. “There’s an articulate, politically aware, conservative audience that feels under siege in college towns,” says Robinson. “These are people who are literate and engaged, but lonely. We’re for them.”</font></p><div role="heading" aria-level="3" class="paywall heading-h3" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 40px 0px 16px; --type-token:consumptionEditorial.subhed-break-secondary; font-feature-settings: normal; letter-spacing: -0.014em; line-break: auto; line-height: 1em; font-weight: 900; overflow-wrap: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">A Bigger Tent For Conservative Punditry</font></div><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">After a successful first show, the Ricochet team has built a network of 27 podcasts hosted by a range of preeminent conservative thinkers, many of whom also write for <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">National Review</em>. <b>Professors Richard Epstein and <a href="https://www.wired.com/2010/01/john-yoo/" data-uri="5850d33cf1a89feaf89d693f013fff66" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; cursor: pointer; --colortoken-name:colors.interactive.base.light; transition: color 200ms ease 0s; line-height: inherit;">John Yoo</a> talk legislation and the Constitution on <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Law Talk</em>; CNBC’s Larry Kudlow and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty </b>discuss current events on <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Money and Politics</em>; Republican policy advisor Avik Roy explains domestic policy on <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">American Wonk</em>.</font></p><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Those voices range across the conservative spectrum, from libertarians to social conservatives. Sometimes, the disagreements get heated, especially in the turbulent time of Trump---and that’s exactly what Long and Robinson want. “What’s happening on our podcasts is what’s happening among conservatives of goodwill,” says Robinson. “Rob and James and I are just tortured right now, like a lot of conservatives. The choice between Trump and Clinton is not a choice any of us would have wished for.” The show offers a space for conservatives—both show hosts and listeners—to reason through it.</font></p><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.108px;">but Long and Robinson see a need for conservative podcasts beyond just politics. “There is no conservative NPR,” says Scott Immergut, CEO of Ricochet.

So they’ve started to expand Ricochet’s scope, offering podcasts with a broader conservative lens. “There are a lot of movie geeks who don’t accept the prevailing media left-wing tilt,” says Long, who also co-hosts</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.108px;"> </span><em style="letter-spacing: 0.108px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">GLoP Culture</em><span style="letter-spacing: 0.108px;">, Ricochet’s memorably-named-even-if-for-the-wrong-reasons pop podcast. “Those topics are almost always delivered by the center-left and far-left perspective.”</span></font></p><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.108px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">This summer, Ricochet plans to launch more podcasts covering a variety of topics, for listeners who may not like Obama, but still like movies and football. “Well-meaning people on the left often think that conservatives see the whole world through a conservative lens---that we can’t eat pizza without thinking of Milton Friedman,” Long says. By offering a range of podcasts with conservative hosts, the Ricochet Network hopes to prove those liberal listeners wrong---and more importantly, to make some podcasts for everyone else.</font></p><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

Until 2012, he served as Director of Marketing for the free-market Goldwater Institute, where he converted policy initiatives into compelling stories. In the private sector, Jon led marketing efforts for Cold Stone Creamery, Honeywell, and several technology companies. In his spare time he helped create a political satire blog, garnering several notices from Rush Limbaugh, Hugh Hewitt, National Review, The New York Times, and other media outlets. Jon is a summa cum laude graduate of Arizona State's Cronkite School of Journalism and is a former submarine reactor operator for the U.S. Navy.

Max was pretty liberal in college, but then moved to New York City, which, though it's the most liberal city in the world, ironically made him into a conservative. He is a classic neoconservative: someone who was liberal and moved rightward initially over concerns about national security and foreign policy. Max does a number of things for Ricochet, including maintenance, project management, customer service, and some writing from time to time.
