The announcement for the livestream misstated the date. It’s happening on Thursday, June 5, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM EDT. My apologies.
Livestream: Thursday, June 5 @ 11:00 AM EDT

3 weeks ago | glennloury.substack.com | Glenn Loury

As I announced last week, I’m taking a break from the regular show and the Substack for the month of June. But the team and I are using the time to work on some new ideas, and the first one in the docket is livestreaming. So if you find yourself in front of a computer tomorrow, June 5 from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM EDT, tune in to watch and participate in a live conversation. In the first hour, I’ll be talking with Nikita and LaJuan. In the second hour, I’ll be taking questions and comments from the chat.
The June Pause, One More Time

Current time: 0:00 / Total time: -6:59Audio playback is not supported on your browser. Please upgrade. When I announced our pause for the month of June here on Substack, I neglected to do so on our other two primary channels, YouTube and the podcast. So for those who get my content that way, here are video and audio versions of last week’s post. Talk to you soon.
The Glenn Show Is Taking a Break

1 month ago | glennloury.substack.com | Glenn Loury

Don't blame you. My age is in the middle of yours and John's and I've spent enough of my lifetime with deadlines and commitments. I've often thought that if you and John went back to once-a-month like in the old days, I wouldn't mind. Instead of scrambling to find a topic, you might find yourself scrambling to say everything you wanted in that once-a-month hour. I enjoy the additional content, sure, but no one wants it to become drudgery for you.
The Glenn Show Is Taking a Break

1 month ago | glennloury.substack.com | Glenn Loury

When I launched The Glenn Show 2.0 back in late 2021, I wanted to see if I could take the video podcast I’d been doing for years and turn it into a freestanding, financially sustainable operation. With Nikita Petrov developing the show’s creative vision and digital expansion and Mark Sussman helming the editorial operation—along with the able assistance of Lukas Sluzar, who keeps the show looking and sounding sharp—we’ve found a combination that works.
Race Ain't Over Yet

1 month ago | glennloury.substack.com | Glenn Loury

I welcome some of the necessary and predictable changes in approaches to race and identity the Trump administration is strong-arming universities into accepting. The overweening insistence on the progressive party line on race led to an attitude that condescended to black students while fostering in them an anachronistic sense of their own embattled status.

The Crypto Revolution

1 month ago | glennloury.substack.com | Glenn Loury

The rise of cryptocurrency is one of the most startling, potentially disruptive, potentially revolutionary economic events of the last twenty-five years. But how does it actually work? In this clip, former CIA analyst and adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security Yaya Fanusie takes me through the basics. This is a clip from an episode that went out to full subscribers earlier this week.
Q&A: A Trump-Endorsed DEI Program

1 month ago | glennloury.substack.com | Glenn Loury

Back in November of last year, after months of declaring my dissatisfaction with both Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, I confessed that I was excited about Trump’s win. The Democratic establishment got a dose of reality, as I saw it. I shared some of Trump’s priorities—like border security and DEI—and I was looking forward to seeing him shake things up. That appears to be one of those statements I’ll have to defend or explain every so often, possibly forever. So be it.
