The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast

As promised, Charles sings all four operas from Wagner's 'Ring Cycle' — Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, and Larry's Giant Subs — while accompanying himself on the Mongolian nose flute.

In between arias, he argues that the Republican Party's choice is obvious: it can either find candidates that are palatable to the majority, or it can keep on losing winnable races; talks to Steve Morris about gay marriage—this time, the criticisms come from the Left; and asks Dan McLaughlin what on earth is going on with these $300m+ baseball contracts. The ISBN for this week's episode is 5, and rising.
