Fan-favorite Jonah soundalike Chris Stirewalt is back for a Remnant so nerdtastic that even Joe Biden could mock its lack of coolness. With antisemitic attacks on the rise, the GOP resisting a January 6 commission, and primaries continuing to exist, there’s plenty for Dr. Stirewalt to kvetch about, and Jonah has enough Hayek references on hand to join him. Yet Chris has more to reveal than his disdain for the common good. Starting this week, he’ll be hosting a new podcast focused on the history of modern conservatism that will (briefly!) replace the Thursday Remnant. Have no fear, however, because the change comes with Jonah’s sacred blessing. Stick around until the end of the episode to hear all the boozy details. (it’s called The Hangover, and don’t worry: It will also have its own podcast feed.)

Show Notes:

– Chris’ page at The Dispatch

– Last Thursday’s Remnant on Jonah’s Old Testament heritage

    Is Chris playing up the West Virginia accent? I went from being unable to tell Chris and Jonah apart on podcasts to thinking they sound nothing alike.

    Trafalgar Square. I think Chris was trying to identify Trafalgar Square in London, which has a large monument to Nelson, replete with statue on top. A comparable square in Lisbon is Rossio, formally Praça Dom Pedro IV, with a similar monument to said Dom. I don't know if there's a statue of an anti-Semite there, but apparently the Inquisition was headquartered in a palace there, and auto-da-fé executions were conducted in the square, so it wouldn't be a surprise.

    Jonah, congratulations to you and Steve for putting this Dispatch thing together! Chris is a great addition, and can’t wait to hear his podcast. I love the fact that both you and Chris are so strongly into history. Just keep going because this is what we need!

    Instead of Supplementals, maybe Appendices? Or Buttresses (or for the really out there episodes, Flying Buttresses!), because they add supporting material to the overall theme.

    Jonah and Chris work well together, not only are they entertaining, they sharpen each others arguments up really well.

    Not finding the correct Hangover. Searched Spotify podcasts for "Stirewalt" - not a common name - and it yielded 5 Remnants, 1 Dispatch, and 1 The Interview by Mediaite.

    Had to listen to a mash-up of the BBC global newscast, The Journal, and NPR Politics this AM+commute d/t no Advisory Opinions. Guessing this is summer vacation for the hosts.

    Jonah, I think you’re overreacting to the potential for outrage at a backdoor pilot for Chris’s podcast. Something tells the Venn diagram of Jonah and Chris fans overlaps significantly.

    No joke, I was just thinking "Chris should start his own podcast" when that very thing was announced.
