I Don’t Know Who This Show is For
I first listened to this show a year or so ago because David French and Jonah Goldberg are on it (French appears from time to time). As we approach the 2024 election, I’ve grown frustrated with this podcast. They are clearly anti-Trump, which is fine, and they are conservative (also fine). What’s frustrating is that they spend so much time talking about theoretical conservatism at the expense of practicality while ignoring the world in which we live. They’ve clearly grown bored making the same statements about Trump, so they’ve moved toward picking apart Harris despite some tepid support for her and recognizing the threat Trump is to democracy. I have no issue with their criticisms of Harris’ policies, but they aren’t contrasting them with Trump’s, so their criticisms lack context. They ultimately come across as being attendees at a gang fight where they stand in a side alley making comments about the gangs’ weapons of choice, outfits, and fighting styles. If you want discussions about philosophical conservatism, this is your podcast. If you want discussions about politics from a Never-Trump perspective that has a point of view and knows what side it’s on, I might suggest the Bulwark.

... Shure SM7 microphones. Your equipment should at least try to meet the caliber of the content, which is great!

I’m a liberal/libertarian. I’ve found the past several years disorienting, and am thankful for your willingness not to pick a side, but rather to provide nuanced commentary from what I would call a conservative, center-right perspective. Keep it up.

The Dispatch Podcast has quickly become my go to source for thoughtful conservative dialog. Sure, Jonah Goldberg’s pseudointellectual commentary occasionally leaves me with borborygmus, I am otherwise enthralled by the musings of David, Steve and Sarah. Keep it going!
