Jonah Goldberg
Jonah Goldberg is a conservative journalist, author, and podcaster who co-founded The Dispatch in 2019 after a 21-year run at National Review, where he launched National Review Online. He hosts the long-running interview podcast The Remnant, writes the twice-weekly G-File newsletter, holds the Asness Chair in Applied Liberty at the American Enterprise Institute, and writes a syndicated column. The author of three books including the No. 1 New York Times bestseller Liberal Fascism, he has become one of the most prominent 'ideologically grounded but politically homeless' voices on the American right, having walked away from Fox News in protest in 2021.
Kevin D. Williamson
Kevin D. Williamson is an American journalist and author who roams the country as national correspondent for The Dispatch, filing the Monday-morning newsletter Wanderland and the recurring column Econ for English Majors. A former roving correspondent who spent 15 years at National Review, he writes about economics, liberty, and the texture of American life with a prose style that prizes wit, contrarianism, and the long view. He is the author of seven books, including The Smallest Minority and Big White Ghetto.
Megan McArdle
Megan McArdle is a Washington Post opinion columnist who writes at the seam where economics, business and public policy meet. She was blogging as 'Jane Galt' from a desk near Ground Zero before most journalists knew what a blog was, parlaying an English-lit degree and a Chicago MBA into a career that ran through The Economist, The Atlantic, Newsweek/Daily Beast and Bloomberg View. A self-described right-leaning libertarian known for steelmanning the other side, she wrote 'The Up Side of Down,' a book arguing that failing well is the real engine of success. In 2025 she added a contributing-writer role at The Dispatch and turned to podcasting with 'Central Air' and 'Reasonably Optimistic.'
