Radio Derb August 9 2024

When VDare went down for good, I offered to host Radio Derb here and set it up on the various platforms where people listen to podcasts. Going forward you will find the legendary John Derbyshire’s weekly podcast posted here on Saturday, as well as on Rumble, Odysee and the various podcast networks. It will take a few days for them to approve the new host, so I will post links when it happens.

For now, if you want to get the show in your favorite podcast app, you can use the RSS feed I have set up off the Spreaker site. Link below. Just paste it into the app following their instructions and you are good to go. Probably by the end of the week it will be on all of the apps, and you can then find it through their search tool. It should also be on Amazon and Spotify by the end of the week.

  1. Dude, you’re a life’s routine saver.

    I was looking for Radio Derb on his website as part of my Saturday morning routine. I grew concerned when it wasn’t there today.

  2. Good on ya! I was wondering, where was going to get my Derbyshire fix. Thank You. A wonderful addition to your already wonderful blog.

  3. Sweet. Thanks. I’d sent him an email asking where it was going to be but hadn’t heard back. Assumed he was busy figuring stuff out. The podcast is now live in my app (Pocket Casts). Any chance that the missing episodes from the two weeks between July 19 and August 9 could be added?

  4. He’s pretty much right about “Nixon Derangement Syndrome.” I’m old enough to remember how it was very bad, although I think Trump DS is just as bad.

    As was outlined recently in an interview with Tucker Carlson, the Democrats got away with lots of rule-breaking against Nixon, including hidden, illegal stunts to get their way. Possibly a “deep state coup.” Woodward and Bernstein were quickly presented as moral paragons, as in the movie, “All the President’s Men,” which was widely lauded. In reality they were lying journalists who, it seems, were also extortionists.

    • Somewhat of a coincidence, I started reading Jonathan Aitken’s bio of Nixon yesterday. I usually dislike the “early life” sections of biographies, but this one is fascinating. Nixon’s childhood and youthful accomplishments, as a student and as a hard worker, put to shame the pseudo-achievements of our “elites”. As a high school senior, he was recognized as the most outstanding academic achiever in California, and received scholarship offers from Harvard and Yale. Due to family economic constraints he had to turn down these offers, to help with the family grocery store, so resigned himself to attending hometown Whittier College. It… Read more »

      • And he was virulently hated by much of the Ivy League crowd, the media, and others in lofty positions. He also drew their hatred with his anti-Communism. And he was probably smarter than most of them. I’d like to read that Aitken book and am glad you recommended it. I think he had a mixed record as president. Positives are that he got the USA out of the Vietnam War (which he almost never receives credit for); he developed detente with the Soviet Union, which some Cold Warriors didn’t like, but which I think was good considering America’s weakness at… Read more »

        • It seems everything we were told about history has been one big fat f*cking lie…Wish more people could figure that out…

          • Yes, a lot of it. Kids nowadays are being taught the biggest lies of all–the Howard Zinn version. It’s contributing in a big way to our downfall.

  5. This is truly great news. Radio Derb must be one of the oldest and best podcasts out there. Never miss it. Starts off all my Saturday mornings

  6. Snobs and slobs just doesn’t have the ring of “Dirt People” and “Cloud People” I rather like being called a “Dirt person” as opposed to a “Slob”

  7. KSM is 59 years old. If he goes to trial this year and gets convicted and gets the death penalty, he will die of old age in prison.
    Even at 1.5 speed, Derb speaks painfully slow.
