Paul Matzko - a historian who has charted the legacy of talk radio and the conservative movement - joins The Remnant pantheon. While conservatives may be familiar with the lasting legacy of figures like Rush Limbaugh and Michael Medved, Paul shows that they follow a path established by religious conservatives stretching back to the 60s. Learn about the Kennedy administration’s checkered history with AM radio, and about the differing impacts of the radio populists versus the print-magazine intellectuals, such as Buckley at National Review.

I'm a bit over halfway through and loving it - always up for conservative history nerdery!
I just wanted to chime in since Jonah mentioned he isn't 100% on the podcast thing. I came into podcasting through The Remnant (just a week or two after the so-called "Episode 11"), and while my podcast appetite has grown voraciously (like my IRL appetite!), The Remnant remains my absolute favorite. I think the format lends itself especially well to Jonah's style. Please keep it up!
This episode was so fascinating. I love when you have guests on to talk about history. Great job, Jonah.
