The Ricochet Audio Network Superfeed

Sponsored by Away Travel, Bombfell, Casper We were going to take this week off, but then we decided why not gather a couple of hosts (that'd be Rob Long and James Lileks) and let them just riff on the events of the day and other topics, freeform for an hour or so. So that's exactly what we did. Enjoy it!

Jay began his Impromptus column in 2001. It is a potpourri of a column, covering politics, foreign affairs, language, music, and a lot more. Now he is starting a podcast version of it, called "Jaywalking." This podcast will feature extra touches as well - such as the playing of music. In fact, he begins this inaugural episode with some impromptus - some piano pieces by Schubert, Fauré, and Chopin. He goes on with talk about Roy Moore, Sweden, and an Israeli judo star. He tells an old joke, on the bawdy side. And he ends with what he calls "pretty much the best thing on earth" - a song, a spiritual, in a transcendent performance from 1975. Note: We're putting the first episode of Jaywalking in the Q & A feed so all of Jay's listeners receive it. Starting with the nest episode, the show will have its own feed.

Sponsored by Away Travel Today, our topic is the most important policy debate in America right now: the Republican effort to overhaul the Internal Revenue Code. The House has passed its version of tax reform, and it's now up to Senate Republicans to finish the job. Do they have the votes? What changes might be made to the bill to gain a majority? And at the end of the day, what will be the impact of all this on the U.S. economy? To answer these questions, we're joined by the most important and influential taxpayer advocate in the country, Grover Norquist. Grover, as most of you will know, is the founder and longtime president of Americans for Tax Reform. On the podcast, Grover gives us his insider's take on which senators are wobbly on tax reform; on what aspects of the bills he is most excited about; and on how the 2017 tax reform effort compares to previous tries in the Eighties and Aughties. We touch on the potential for tax reform to repeal Obamacare's individual mandate, and on what it will take for someone to create an Americans for Tax Reform for federal spending.

Sponsored by Upside The world is on its way to ending traffic, and that's in part thanks to the pioneering work of transportation researcher and thought leader David Levinson. In this episode, we discuss how autonomous vehicles and other breakthrough tech will affect the future of transportation, and how infrastructure policy can keep up with the coming changes. We also discuss whether America has reached peak car ownership, if human driving will be eventually banned, and if we are culturally ready for a driverless future. David Levinson teaches at the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney, he's an honorary affiliate of the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies, and he serves as an adjunct faculty at the University of Minnesota.
