  • So I’m going to interpret your request broadly and recommend a couple podcasts. They aren’t necessarily right-wing (honestly, probably center left to center right), but they’re probably outside of what you’d normally consume and may challenge or intrigue you.

    1. The New Liberal Podcast New liberalism is a rebranding of neoliberalism. I’d start by listening to a couple mailbag episodes and his past best books of the year episodes.

    2. Conversations with Tyler Tyler Cowen is a conservative economist at the University of Chicago, but you don’t actually hear his opinions that often on his podcast which consists of interviews with an eclectic variety of folks from a homeless man to a Calvinist theologian, from music producer Rick Rubin to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. He has a unique interviewing style that consists of a series of disjointed questions. He often poses challenging questions, but he gives them plenty of space to answer and doesn’t debate. I would suggest skipping interviews with people you know you’re going to hate (e.g., Peter Thiel), but instead look for interviews that pique your interest.








  • Nah, you just kept in your back pocket until the opportunity arose to win some internet points with it.

    But wait, that’s not accurate, is it? No, because the most cynical interpretation of someone’s behavior rarely is accurate.

    My reaction to OP was to wonder who in my life could use a friend. I’d like to think that’s exactly what OP was hoping for.
