Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative values

Dr. Daniel Pitt and his imposing mustache joins Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis to explore the similarities and differences between American and British conservatism, proto-Burkean “conservative” thinkers, Pitt’s personal relationship with Sir Roger Scruton, and the importance of unchosen obligations in a free society, all offered up in a wonderfully meandering conversation that nonetheless stays within the broader parameters of some conceivable structure analogous to the conservative vision of ordered liberty.  Undoubtedly, Michael Oakeshott would have been proud.   About...

There are four faces on the Saving Elephants’ Mount Rushmore of great conservatives: Edmund Burke, Russell Kirk, Thomas Sowell, and William F. Buckley.  While the first three have each had fully episodes dedicated to their life and works, William F.

Julie Mastrine of AllSides joins Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis in a freewheeling conversation about the media.  Conservatives love to complain of the liberal media bias, but are their complaints founded or over exaggerated?  Do “both sides” have a bias problem?  How do they differ and how are they similar?  Are there times when bias is acceptable and even welcome?  Is bias the same as inaccuracy or dishonesty?  How might you identify media bias and what can we do about it?
