Former First Things editor Damon Linker on the “Know Your Enemy” podcast

John Fea   |  September 23, 2022

The guys at Know Your Enemy Podcast talk with former First Things editor Damon Linker. It’s a really interesting interview. He talks about his Straussian influences, his intellectual debt to Mark Lilla, and his work as a speechwriter for Rudy Giuliani. He also spills some gossip about his stint at First Things and tells a story about the time moral philosopher Gilbert Meilaender suggested that he had a desire to lactate.

The title of the podcast is “After the Theocons.”

    Much appreciate being made aware of both the podcast and the guest, as I had not heard of either of them before. I hope to follow them both. Thanks to Current for bring attention to such excellent, relevant, thought-provoking material.
