| 5/31/26 | How Climate Change advocates (oops, I corrected the audio file) lost me and what it would take to get me back. | Send us Fan Mail This piece explores how someone open to climate science became skeptical—not of the science, but of how the issue has been communicated. It argues that exaggeration, selective framing, and social pressure have undermined trust, even as legitimate risks remain. The essay calls for a more honest, data-driven conversation and outlines a pragmatic energy path forward that includes nuclear, hydro, and continued innovation. | 19m 40s | ||||||

| 3/7/26 | Trailer - Views on the News From the Couch | Send us Fan Mail My goal is to explore subjects that interest me – and might interest you – with some occasional humor and less partisan spin. I call myself a conservative at about the 40‑yard line for Republicans but even that gets confusing given how far crazies and the media have moved the goalposts. My aim is simple: call out the crazy on all sides and pull the conversation back toward a sane middle. AND encourage people to read the actual source material instead ... | 1m 31s | ||||||
| 3/2/26 | Addendum to Hitler, Iran, Iraq and Marshall Dillon: How early should America draw? | Send us Fan Mail Let's add one more historical piece to this discussion that a lot of listeners will think of: the Cuban Missile Crisis. | 4m 43s | ||||||
| 3/1/26 | Hitler, Iran, Iraq and Marshall Dillon: How early should America draw? | Send us Fan Mail We love to say, “If I’d been around in the 1930s, I would have stopped Hitler early.” We curse the people who appeased him, who let him tear up treaties, who watched him send a few battalions into the Rhineland in 1936 and did nothing while his army was still relatively weak. We sit here with perfect hindsight and ask, “Why didn’t somebody move when the cost was still low, before the tanks rolled into Poland and France and Russia and the death camps lit up Europe?” Well, we h... | 14m 08s | ||||||
| 2/22/26 | Be happy, dammit. Come on, you can do it. | Send us Fan Mail If you live in the modern Western world, your default setting probably ought to be “basically happy.” Not ecstatic, not Instagram‑perfect—just generally okay. And if you’re not, at least some of that might be on you. Because look at what we’ve got..... | 9m 12s | ||||||
| 2/19/26 | Why I think the left has more stupid ideas than the right. | Send us Fan Mail Today’s February 19, 2026 Views on the News from the Couch podcast asks the important question: Why do I think the left, littered with smart people and many academics, has more stupid ideas than the right? Not that the right doesn’t have its own stupid ideas—we absolutely do. I’ve voted for Trump three times, but most of my conservative friends and I are unhappy with the tariff situation. And we could name a few others. And we express those criticisms. My experien... | 15m 35s | ||||||
| 2/8/26 | Two Trumps, Two Pronouns and lessons from a black musician who talks to Ku Klux Klan members. | Send us Fan Mail I float a theory I’ve been working on since 1977, long before Donald Trump came down the escalator and announced he was running for President. It’s a theory about pronouns, prejudice, and why the same person can be both charming in private and toxic in public. | 10m 08s | ||||||
| 2/1/26 | I’m pissed my reasonable views are called racist, fascist and Nazi‑ish—and AI helped me understand why. | Send us Fan Mail The February 1, 2026 episode of Views on the News from the Couch started in a weird way. I basically spent a morning arguing with my AI assistant so I probably should call this one “Questions from the Couch,” but instead let’s go with: “I’m pissed my reasonable views are called racist, fascist and Nazi‑ish—and AI helped me understand why.” I’m going to walk you through the conversation, because it actually helped me see what’s going on. | 13m 05s | ||||||
| 1/25/26 | ICE, A few views on What is going on in Minneapolis January 26, 2026 | Send us Fan Mail ICE, A few Views from the Couch on What is going on in Minneapolis. Summary, play with fire, get burnt. | 10m 26s | ||||||
| 1/18/26 | Greenland, Golden Domes and the Kicking of Cans | Send us Fan Mail I’m back. Not sure for how long or how often, but I just can’t let Views on the News from the Couch die. Lay dormant, sure. Not die. This podcast started a few years ago for me to share views and opinions based on a lifetime of experiences. As you get older, you realize our politics can be a bit like NASCAR: drive fast and turn left. By “turn left” I don’t mean liberal; I mean we keep circling. We repeat. Not as much is new as we think… although the last few... | 11m 39s | ||||||
