The Living Legacy of Norman Podhoretz w/ David Klion and Ronnie Grinberg | The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer
Norman Podhoretz, one of the founding fathers of neoconservatism, died on December 16 at

wrote an obituary for the pundit for The Nation) and the historian Ronnie Grinberg, who had
discussed Podhoretz in her book Write Like a Man.

kidnapping of president Nicolás Maduro. Trump claims that “like with
Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission.” But will a
war with Iran really be so simple? To look at the prospects for war and the
larger politics driving the conflict, I spoke with Amir Handjani of The Quincy
