Today’s Between the Covers podcast is with Benjamin Balint, author of Running Commentary: The Contentious Magazine that Transformed the Jewish Left into the Neoconservative Right. We talk about how Commentary became so influential, why it flourished in apparent opposition to mainstream Jewish American (i.e., liberal) politics, and how John Podhoretz is doing as editor in chief. Over yonder, I discuss my own single experience of writing for Commentary.
