A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Josh Trevino and Matt K. Lewis

This week's episode of The RJ Moeller Show opens with our fan-favorite "News You May Have Missed, But Probably Shouldn't Have" segment with The Daily Caller's intrepid reporter, Caroline May. We learn about the USDA's attempt to undermine rugged individualism, a chilly misstep by global warming activists in the nation's capital, and yet another preposterous chapter in the on-going "anti-bullying" campaign saga. You can follow Ms. May on Twitter at @c_maydc!

From there we move to an interview with Joshua Trevino of the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Josh is the Vice President for Communications at TPPF, a free-market think-tank located in Austin, TX.  Before coming to the Foundation, he was the founder and president of Treviño Strategies and Media, where he worked on national and international media campaigns.  His experience encompasses work in over thirty countries, speechwriting in the Administration of George W. Bush, and service in the United States Army. Mr. Trevino is (proudly) a native of Texas.  You can follow him on Twitter at @jstrevino!

Last, but certainly not least, we welcome columnist/blogger Matt K. Lewis to the program for the third and final segment.

Matt is a senior contributor for The Daily Caller, and his writing combines political analysis, cultural commentary, and original reporting. Previously, Matt served as a columnist for Politics Daily, and before that as a blogger for Townhall.com.  His writing has appeared in GQ, The Guardian, The Daily, and Politico. Matt is also the editor of ‘The Quotable Rogue: The Ideals of Sarah Palin In Her Own Words.’

We chat with Mr. Lewis about the benefits of podcasts, life as a writer, and what path his career followed to land him in a position where he gets paid to do what he loves. Don't forget to follow Matt on Twitter at @mattklewis!
