The misunderstood 1990s, LA Riots, and the triumph of the Paleoconservatives with John Ganz

The misunderstood 1990s, LA Riots, and the triumph of the Paleoconservatives with John Ganz

Author: Time To Say Goodbye June 26, 2024 Duration: 1:50:50

Hello!

Today, we are extremely excited to have on John Ganz, author of the new book When the Clock Broke, a retelling of the 1990s that touches on politics, music, television, and the history of right wing cranks who ultimately would become a prelude for Trumpism. There’s a ton that we discuss: The LA riots, Pat Buchanan, Murray Rothbard, Sister Souljah, and much more. If you’re interested in how the fringe elements of the 1990s became much less fringe by 2016, this is a wonderfully written and engaging history that not only feels relevant and prescient, but also funny and alive.

QUICK NOTE: We will not have an episode next week bc of vacation stuff but we will have a lot of announcements about the show throughout July so please stay tuned.

You’ll find Time To Say Goodbye hosted by Jay Caspian Kang and Tyler Austin Harper, a conversation that moves as unpredictably as the tides they sometimes discuss. While rooted in the urgent currents of politics and culture, the dialogue often drifts into the personal rhythms of life-like the patience of fishing or the sudden rush of catching a wave. These diversions aren’t just filler; they’re where larger ideas about society and how we live within it often surface. Each episode feels like a meandering but purposeful walk, where the destination is less important than the ground covered along the way. The podcast thrives on this specific blend of the analytical and the anecdotal, offering a respite from more rigid commentary. It’s the kind of show where a debate about policy might naturally lead to a story about a cold morning on the water, all threaded together with thoughtful, often wry, observation. For listeners tired of compartmentalized talk, this offers a cohesive, if wonderfully eclectic, listen. You’re simply tuning into a conversation between two curious minds, one that acknowledges that understanding the world means talking about everything in it-even, and especially, the stuff that seems unrelated.
