Matt Welch and John Lewis

Listen live (QuickTime), Mondays, 4 - 6 p.m. EST

"Political Animals"--the flagship radio show of Western Standard radio--is a weekly political talk show on 88.1 WBGUFM hosted by Jay Lafayette, Peter Jaworski, and Terrence Watson.

Welch Today, our phone-in guest will be Matt Welch, editor-in-chief of Reason Magazine, and author of "McCain: The Myth of a Maverick." Matt will give us his insights on the presidential primaries, especially on John McCain (we suspect he's not his biggest fan, if the title of his book is any indication).

Joining us in the studio will be John Lewis, visiting scholar at the SocialJohn_lewis3 Philosophy and Policy Center and associate professor of history at Ashland University, who is under contract with Princeton University Press to write a book called "Nothing less than Victory: Military offense and the lessons of history from the Greco-Persian wars to World War II." John will join us for the full two hours, so he'll join in on the presidential discussions at the top of hour one. In hour two, we'll ask him about his forthcoming book, and about the philosophy of Ayn Rand (John is an Ayn Rand scholar).

As always, Gerry Nicholls will be joining us as well at the top of the first hour to talk about Canadian politics.

Political Animals is on every Monday from 4 to 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, broadcast out of 88.1 FM in the Bowling Green, Ohio area, and on www.wbgufm.com worldwide.
