Understanding institutions

“Institutions are supposed to be grounded ideological ideas that last for years, but what happens when something or someone throws a monkey wrench into the system? This is what Jon Ward tries to answer in his one man band podcast, “The Long Game.”
I was introduced to Jon Ward through an interview with Skye Jetani on “The Holy Post Podcast.” I happened to stumble upon Ward’s podcast later when I heard he interviewed National Review’s Jonah Goldberg.
I have found Ward’s conversations to be refreshingly nuanced and deep. He talks to people from both sides of the political aisle and engages in thoughtful conversation, while acknowledging and maintaining his point of view.
I will echo statements made by other reviewers about the sound quality of the podcast. The background noise is distracting such as the constant fidgeting. I only want to hear the voices of the interviewer and interviewee.
One of the best parts of this podcast is the wide range of guests. From conservatives to liberals, Ward draws in a wide range of perspectives. I think I saw one reviewer say that the interview with Terry Mattingly was bad. That’s complete hogwash and any thinking, reasonable person would know to ignore this bad faith argument by this reviewer. Ward is intellectually honest and he certainly does pose hard questions, but he allows the listener to decide if the interviewer is right or not.
The greatest strength of Ward as a journalist is that he comes from an evangelical background, so he understands the Religious Right. I hope he uses his perspective more in upcoming podcasts to understand religious institutions in politics.”

That said, I really wish the sound...”Read full review »

“In an age of tiny attention spans, information overload, and deep distrust, we need to listen to the unraised voices of people who know what they are talking about. Jon Ward knows what he is talking about. He's covered the game of insider Washington politics and knows how to differentiate...”Read full review »
