Jonah AMA 3

It has a quality of doneness.

Jonah’s back to answer your questions on another AMA. This time, he’s freed Guy from the dank pit he’s come to know as home for an in-person recording in the American Enterprise Institute’s sanctum sanctorum. Somehow, this new arrangement provokes an even nerdier and less substantial conversation than usual, with topics ranging from the philosophy of Doctor Who to the use of “mutant” as a superhero descriptor. But some serious ruminations are also offered on the differences between liberalism and conservatism, what Jonah’s next book might be about, and the influence of intellectual minorities on history. Oh, and let’s not forget the most important topic of all: the relationship between John Podhoretz’s blood pressure and Twitter usage.

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.
