with Daniel J. Mahoney, hosted by James M. Patterson What Solzhenitsyn called “the ideological lie” was not limited to a single country, government, or movement. And it did not, unfortunately, die off in 1989.

with Mark Lilla, hosted by James M. Patterson The drive to pursue wisdom is engrained in every human being, right? So many have believed. But in his new book, Ignorance and Bliss, Mark Lilla argues that a certain “will to ignorance” is also part of the human experience. Like Plato’s Thrasymachus, many in the modern world want to throw up their hands in resignation rather than commit themselves to the pursuit of truth.

with Ilya Shapiro, hosted by James M. Patterson A poorly worded tweet became a career-altering conflagration for Ilya Shapiro in a particularly egregious example of cancel culture. It prompted him to take a hard look at the state of legal education, which he now skewers in Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elite. He and host James Patterson discuss the book, the atrocious impact critical theory and DEI has had on our law schools, and what the future might hold.

The alarm on my phone went off at eight thirty the next morning. I’d gotten home around two. I forced myself out of bed and into the shower. I was in the bathroom shaving when Bree came in, carrying coffee and the Washington Post and looking as frustrated as I’d ever seen her. “I can’t believe it,” she said.

lawliberty.org | Mitch Daniels |James Patterson
In the wake of the 2024 election, former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels joins James Patterson to talk about the one issue politicians all try to avoid: the national debt. Though we have an impending debt disaster, both sides of the aisle avoid the hard choices that will eventually need to be made. Today, Daniels worries, it may be too late for a soft landing. We chose not to find solutions, and we’ll start living with consequences very soon.

“We're here! This is free Wednesday, and that means you don't have to pay anything (but you don't get Mondays and Fridays - which are really great). And we're just trying to give away a bunch of stuff on Wednesdays. Some of it's going to be goofy, like pencils with erasers that I bite when I'm writing. I want to talk about my autobiography, James Patterson by James Patterson, which is the whole title.

I’m James Patterson. I write way too many books. I’m called prolific. I hate that word. Now I’m going to try to totally screw up Substack. (I think I can do it. I really do.)So welcome to Hungry Dogs!The title comes from my maternal grandmother, Isabelle Zelvas Morris. Nan used to always say, “Hungry dogs run faster.” I’ve been running fast ever since. And this three-times-a-week feature on Substack is hopefully going to run fast too. Here’s what’ll be coming your way soon.

0:00 with Charles C.W. Cooke , Samuel Goldman & Stephanie Slade, hosted by James M. Patterson When conservatives debate fundamentals, it does not take long for “fusionism” to come up. But it’s not always clear what it is. Is it a philosophical stance or a practical coalition? Was it a historically contingent response to the Cold War or an integral part of any conservative disposition?

with Christine Rosen, hosted by James M. Patterson Human beings are flawed, finite creatures. But they are not problems to be solved, argues AEI senior fellow Christine Rosen, author of The Extinction of Experience. In the technological age, we too often see basic human activities, from reading and writing, to shopping and conversing, as obstacles to efficiency that must be overcome, simplified, or replaced.
