First mate Steve Hayes strides across the deck, grinning maniacally at the cowering crew. “Mine” he crows to himself. “Mine! The HMS Remnant is finally mine! Muahahaha!” The crew, downcast, is near despair. Then suddenly, all eyes turn to the gangplank. Haggard, sunburned, stricken, and emaciated, Jonah Goldberg stumbles onto the deck, takes Hayes by the collar, and gasps, “Sand. Nothing but sand.”
After recovering down below, Captain Goldberg is back at the helm and ready to dive into the Grand Canyon, advertising, Vegas, Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, the Christianization thesis, black Helen, DSA, voter turnout, the stupidity of abolishing the Senate, “unfettered capitalism,” Hayek v. Friedman, conservative liberal or liberal conservative, Teddy Roosevelt, and postliberal collapse.

Jonah Goldberg is editor-in-chief and co-founder of The Dispatch, based in Washington, D.C. Prior to that, enormous lizards roamed the Earth. More immediately prior to that, Jonah spent two decades at National Review, where he was a senior editor, among other things. He is also a bestselling author, longtime columnist for the Los Angeles Times, commentator for CNN, and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. When he is not writing the G-File or hosting The Remnant podcast, he finds real joy in family time, attending to his dogs and cat, and blaming Steve Hayes for various things.

[crowd cheering] [upbeat drum music] Greetings, dear listeners. This is Jonah Goldberg, host of The Remnant Podcast, brought to you by The Dispatch and Dispatch Media. I am back from my western adventure. Without getting too in the details, I think I have another bout of diverticulitis or something like that, probably from my adventure. I got beat up a lot on that trip, but it was a great trip. For those who don't know or don't recall, I did a rafting excursion down, uh, the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. It's about, I don't know, 130 miles, 150 miles, something like that.

Spent some time with my daughter, in-laws, my wife. It was spectacular in all sorts of ways. I, I'll do the spectacular part first. I've been trying to come up with an analogy about it, and it's hard because, like, so we did the Snake River in, you know, the, the sort of Idaho-Oregon leg of the Snake River in Hells Canyon about tail end of COVID, and that was great, too.
