“I can’t recall if it was Matt and Sam themselves or someone else who once described a scene in the 2022 film Triangle of Sadness, in which a Marxist yacht captain and a Russian capitalist take turns Googling and quoting Lenin and Chomsky at each other over a sinking ship’s loudspeaker, as “two guys start the worst political podcast ever,” but this is the opposite of that. Know Your Enemy is a well-informed, fun, and sometimes even slightly (just slightly) sympathetic look at the U.S. conservative intellectual and political movement’s past and present. The result is a portrait of the right that its advocates will recognize and its enemies can study, a rare feat pulled off by trusting its guests’ and listeners’ intelligence, if not always their commitments.”
