Comment on [Serious] Any high-quality right-wing media, books, explainers?

So I’m going to interpret your request broadly and recommend a couple podcasts. They aren’t necessarily right-wing (honestly, probably center left to center right), but they’re probably outside of what you’d normally consume and may challenge or intrigue you.

The New Liberal Podcast New liberalism is a rebranding of neoliberalism. I’d start by listening to a couple mailbag episodes and his past best books of the year episodes.

Conversations with Tyler Tyler Cowen is a conservative economist at the University of Chicago, but you don’t actually hear his opinions that often on his podcast which consists of interviews with an eclectic variety of folks from a homeless man to a Calvinist theologian, from music producer Rick Rubin to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. He has a unique interviewing style that consists of a series of disjointed questions. He often poses challenging questions, but he gives them plenty of space to answer and doesn’t debate. I would suggest skipping interviews with people you know you’re going to hate (e.g., Peter Thiel), but instead look for interviews that pique your interest.

Center left to center right by American standards, I suppose?
(It’s important to clarify as American center is way more right than normally considered)
Thanks! Wide scope is appreciated.

Yes, I’m not familiar enough with European politics to confidently say what it would be considered there.
