John Daniel Davidson, senior editor at The Federalist and author of "Pagan America: The Decline of Christianity and the Dark Age to Come," joins the High Noon podcast. John and Inez discuss some of the similarities and differences between pre-Christian paganism and what we observe as the last threads of America’s Christian founding start to dissolve.

Helen Roy, host of the podcast Girlboss, Interrupted, joins the High Noon podcast to talk about her recent piece on the relationships between Boomers and their Millennial adult children.

Madeleine Kearns, staff writer at National Review and senior fellow with IWF, comes back on the High Noon pod to discuss the emerging patchwork landscape of laws around gender “transition” in the U.S. and how they compare to the landscape in her native Scotland, which is currently going through a free speech crisis. Maddy and Inez also discuss how these battles are often taking place in a sort of halfway turf—on the fields of politics or The Science—that ignores deeper questions of truth, and how Richard Dawkins’ viral video about cultural Christianity ties into the inadequacies of '90s liberalism and new atheism. -- High Noon is an intellectual download featuring conversations that make possible a free society.

Emily returns for her monthly High Noon chat, this time about Ronna McDaniel’s quick exit at NBC and the media’s unshakable ability to only allow conservative voices into the discussion if they’ve already acquiesced to the Left on all meaningful priors.

Tim and Inez discuss over-scheduled sports, helicopter parenting, and the total collapse of the village it takes to raise a happy and healthy next generation, as well as pragmatic tips and policy changes that would make it easier for moms and dads who feel like they’re on a social ice floe. -- High Noon is an intellectual download featuring conversations that make possible a free society.

Rachel Bovard of Conservative Partnership Institute is back from a stint as Executive Director of the powerful Republic Steering Committee in the Senate. She explains why the Senate—and the legislative branch more generally—seems to function only as a clearing house to confirm and fund the activities of the other two branches, and how it can take back some of its power. Also, Rachel and Inez discuss the public-private nature of corporate power, and how cultural collusion and market share interact to become a new kind of threat to traditional American freedom. -- High Noon is an intellectual download featuring conversations that make possible a free society.
