On this episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, interviews Yoram Hazony. Dr Hazony is best known as the founder of the National Conservative Conference, which is held under the auspices of his Edmund Burke Foundation. He is also the President of the Herzl Institute in Jerusalem, and the author of numerous books, including "The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture," "The Virtue of Nationalism," and "Conservatism: A Rediscovery." Pascal and Yoram discuss a number of topics, starting with: what is national conservatism, why do we need to append a modifier to conservatism, why we have this strange phenomenon of an "internationale of nationalists," how nationalist movements can foster competent elites, and finally whether you should send your kids to elite schools or not, and if not, what should you do instead.Subscribe to the PolicySphere Morning Briefing: https://policysphere.com/subscribeNational Conservatism: https://nationalconservatism.org/Yoram's Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001JOH52CSubscribe to the Sphere Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sphere-podcast/id1780831168Subscribe to the Sphere Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/48eWEcxSYDyrgjC3lO0EJZSubscribe to the Sphere Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSpherePodcast

On this episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, interviews Luke Niforatos, co-founder and Executive Vice President of the Foundation for Drug Policy Solutions about, you guessed it, pot. Marijuana. Cannabis. The ganj. (Yes, nobody's said that since 1972.) The issue of marijuana rescheduling has been in the news lately, with President Trump saying he's considering it. Luke explains what marijuana rescheduling is, and why it would be a very big deal. Then the two have a broader conversation about marijuana and marijuana policy: why it really does melt your brain, why allowing big corporations to sell it would be a disaster, the evolving science on marijuana, why it's not just a matter of personal choice, the difference between marijuana and alcohol, and more.Subscribe to the PolicySphere Morning Briefing: https://policysphere.com/subscribeSmart Approaches to Marijuana: https://learnaboutsam.org/Follow Luke on X: https://x.com/LukeNiforatosSubscribe to the Sphere Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sphere-podcast/id1780831168Subscribe to the Sphere Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/48eWEcxSYDyrgjC3lO0EJZSubscribe to the Sphere Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSpherePodcast

On this episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, has a wide-ranging conversation with Nick Denton. Most famous (or infamous, depending on who you ask) as the founder of Gawker Media, Denton remains an active investor and entrepreneur with keen insights on current affairs, economics, and geopolitics. Gobry and Denton talk about the history of Gawker, Denton's front-row seat as American discourse grew crazier and crazier, leading to the Great Awokening and to the rise of Trump, why he thinks the current Administration is experiencing the same kind of madness that took over the Gawker newsroom, and why he believes the American Empire is dead.
