Dash MacIntyre’s Podcast Recommendations
The podcasts that influence my weekly thoughts.
I travel a lot for work and am often going on long drives, and because I’m addicted to content I have found several podcasts that keep me company and make my transit time educational and thought-provoking.
If you enjoy my commentary and comedy, you’ll likely enjoy these shows that inform some of my meandering thoughts:
The Bulwark Podcast with Tim Miller
My readers know I am a fully credentialed liberal, so my endorsement of the quality of the conservative-leaning Bulwark Podcast is I think noteworthy. The Bulwark’s daily podcast is hosted by Tim Miller (he recently took over for Charlie Sykes, who was also a great host), who is a former Republican operative and campaign staffer, and one of the original #NeverTrumpers who refused to shrug and join up with the deranged MAGA movement despite the opportunity for easy money and influence. Miller recaps the news each morning, and coaxes my favorite political commentary from a wide variety of guests including many stalwart conservatives like Bill Kristol, Will Saletan, Tom Nichols, and Adam Kinzinger who have been so startled by their former party’s beeline into ethno-nationalist and personality cult lunacy that they’re now basically Democrats.
