….talk for a long time on this Ricochet podcast about Tina Brown and Niall Ferguson and Todd Akin and focus groups and the professional composition of Congress, not to mention Game of Thrones, demographics, and all manner of other nonsense. Plus a preview of the next “Enter Laughing” in the September issue. Jonah and Rob are both COMMENTARY contributors whose work I have edited, but judging from how I go on here, I’m the one in need of editing—verbal editing. Even so, perhaps you will enjoy it. This is scheduled to be a monthly endeavor, and the podcast needs a name, so feel free to suggest one in the Comments. If you win, you will find yourself garlanded on the next podcast.

I agree on Game of Thrones; he has no idea how to advance the main plot, so he keeps introducing more characters. Winter never comes…
PodPourri?
Hollywood Rob and The Pundettes. nLong on Gold Pod. nThe Pod People. n
Possible Names : On The Waterfront , as in covering the journalistic 'waterfront' / or/ All things Ill – Considered .
Thank you, John, for apprising us of the podcast with a link to it. n nI suggest you make some similar announcement every month. By this time next month I will be thinking of other things — I most especially hope that I am NOT thinking about Todd Akin — and so I most likely will not seek out next month's edition on my own without a prompt.
I enjoyed your inaugural podcast. My suggestion for the name of your new show is “Three Men and a Joke”
"The Long, Gold Podcast." If you peer really hard, you'll find your last names somewhat in it.
