The conversation is about to change. To an Internet so crowded with outlets that parrot the conventional and remember close to nothing, to the most entertaining political season of our lifetimes, Esquire is thrilled to welcome Charles P. Pierce as the lead writer on The Politics Blog. One of America’s great voices and consistently the smartest man in any room in which we get together around here, Charlie has resigned from The Boston Globe and will begin posting here on September 26. You know him from his great work as a contributing editor at Esquire over the years, including some of the most alert political thinking of our time (“The Cynic and Senator Obama,” “The Bomb That Didn’t Go Off, earlier blogging here), or maybe you just know him from NPR’s Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me. He also wrote a book based on an essay for this magazine, Idiot America, that continues to be one of the defining narratives of our wild times. And that’s what we hope Charlie, along with some of our regular contributors, will come to represent in posting here very often and very emphatically: a place for sane discourse and important conversation in this, perhaps the craziest time of our lives. Stay tuned.

My interview with Russ Baker is here. More technical glitches than usual, but still interesting!

Tonight’s guest is blogger, investigative reporter and author Russ Baker, who will talking about all kinds of interesting stuff, including his book, “Family of Secrets.” (You can read about it here.)

Tune in here. You can call 646-200-3440 with any questions or comments.

Will Bunch and I talked about Michael Vick’s new $100 million contract with the Eagles, new Phillie Hunter Pence, how the MLB ruined the game for young people, and oh yeah, some politics. You can click here to listen.

My guest on Virtually Speaking Susie at 9pm EST is Will Bunch, who blogs at Attytood, writes for the Philadelphia Daily News and is pretty smart, to boot! Tune in here, I’m pretty sure we’ll be arguing over Michael Vick’s new contract.

Call 646-200-3440 with questions and comments! (Pretty please? Why does no one ever call?)

In case you missed it, here’s me and Stuart Zechman ranting on various topics last night.
