Can’t beat Fred Barnes
Great show. Look forward to it every week.

I went looking for a smart podcast from the "other side" and am so glad that I found the Confab. Non-sensationalist. Commentary without taking sides. So grateful for this type of podcast. Thanks Weekly Standard! (BTW, I read your magazine as well.)

Educational and entertaining
I definitely recommend this if you are looking for a political podcast with a conservative viewpoint.
