5 Minutes With… Jonah Goldberg: Introducing a new web series — we think

Jun. 28, 2012 5:55pm

I’m going to experiment with you. You, the readers, are about to decide my fate. Sort of.

I’ve decided to produce a new web series called “5 Minutes With… .” The concept: every week I’ll take five minutes and ask someone five questions. Sometimes it might be one of Glenn Beck’s guests, other times it might be an interesting Beck staffers offering a behind-the-scenes look. And who knows, other times it could be a person of your choosing.

The first installment features prominent conservative author, and National Review Online stalwart, Jonah Goldberg. His new book, “The Tyranny of Cliches,” is out now. When he stopped by the Glenn Beck studios in Dallas this week, I grabbed him for “5 Minutes With… .” Ironically, it ended up being a little more then five minutes. But Goldberg did explain that the cliche “if it saves one child’s life it’s worth it” is his most hated. Oh, and he calls Tom Friedman an “ass kisser.”

Enjoy:

 

So what do you think?

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

    Very good. One technical note that I’m sure you’re aware of — and I know you’re going for an “on the fly” (is that a cliche?) quality — but you might want to consider using something like a shotgun mic. The compressed intro and outro FX dwarf the rest of the thin audio, and probably perturb a few house cats, as well.

      I thought it was just pain clipping – either way I like the idea and the semi-random nature of it. Keep it going.

    Jon, you “youknow” alot, and Jonah “ums” alot….(sorry-my pet peeves) I do like your quick take idea. Looking forward to more. Have to admit Jonah Goldberg is one of my favorite people, so that may–no, probably–influenced my opinion. You do realize, having him as your first guest, sets the bar very high (to use an annoying cliche) for the future. Good Luck!
