Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 I wasn't there that day, so there was no one to blurt out "BAD!" before Gillespie could finish his sentence, but two of our other Reason colleagues were, including a croaky-throated Editor in Chief Katherine Mangu-Ward ("I think on balance I'm gonna say bad, but I also think it is a total wild card"), so therefore we have carbon-dated this particular episode of what was then the Reason Podcast as the official beginning of what is now known 'round the audio world as The Reason Roundtable.

Narrative

For 10 years, The Reason Roundtable has been proving that the best political conversations aren't the ones where everyone agrees—they're the ones where smart people challenge each other, chase unexpected tangents, and somehow end up making more sense of the news than anyone else.
