Rod and Kale are joined by New York
Times columnist (and friend) Ross Douthat to discuss his new
book The Deep Places: A Memoir of Illness &
Recovery. His harrowing account opens up spaces for
rethinking what we think we know, the limitations of
official accounts, and the deep mysteries of the buffered and

Rod
and Kale talk about Elizabeth Zerofsky's piece in the New
York Times about the postliberal American Right. In the

center-right and center-left stems from a disgust-reaction to the
Heretic. Rod and other writers like TAC's Sohrab Ahmari dare to

Rod joins Kale to discuss several new
eruptions of the ongoing culture wars: the latest kerfuffle at
Yale and another sign that a Civil War (of sorts) is closer than we

majority of her students decided that they would prefer the
simulacrum to the real thing—they would prefer the pleasant lie to
the painful truth....
What happens when you put an Anglican, an Eastern

Kale and Rod are joined by Fr. Daniel French,
Anglican priest and podcaster at Irreverend. They discuss the
possible Green Passports, church shutdowns, and the specter of
having to take the church underground.
