National Review's Radio Free California Podcast from National Review dives into the perilous state of the Golden State - and why it matters wherever you live. California is the Lefts hothouse lab, a nation-state testing the next wave of statist policies, culture, and lifestyles that often spread nationwide. Each podcast episode unpacks how Sacramento politics, regulations, and activism shape everything from your taxes and schools to crime, energy, and free speech. Hosted by sharp, knowledgeable voices who know California inside and out, the show blends reporting, analysis, and lively conversation to reveal what is really happening behind the headlines. Expect smart skepticism, a focus on liberty, and a clear-eyed look at the consequences of progressive governance. Tune in to listen episodes that connect Californias experiments to national trends, helping you understand not just where the state is headed, but where the country may be going next.
