I have two national radio shows scheduled next week for your listening pleasure. The first is Dennis Miller on Monday, March 1, at 8:33 AM Pacific Time. (The program may air at a different time where you live. Here’s the live link.) This will be my first time on Miller’s show, although I listen to it most mornings on my computer. I like his easy style and sense of humor. I also like that he has Secondhand Smokette on as a guest every six weeks or so.
Then on Tuesday the 2nd, I will be on Jim Bohannon, between 8-9 Pacific Time. This is my fourth or fifth time with Jim, who always gives an interesting interview.
If you are of a mind tune in and call in.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Giovanni Del Piero, Director of the Editor’s Circle, at gdelpiero@firstthings.com or 212-627-1985.
