As a new iPod owner, I am busy finding material to fill it.   After all, why waste an hour of commuting time every day? The Ashbrook Center has a treasure trove of speeches by the movement’s intellectual and political leaders here. 
I especially recommend:
Peter Schramm?s “Born American but in the Wrong Place” Peter Schramm, the president of the Ashbrook Center, gives his personal account of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.  He was 10 years-old at the time of the revolution and his escape with his family to the USA. 
Schramm’s February 2009 Lincoln?s birthday speech is one of the most moving tributes to Lincoln I have ever heard. Both of these speeches show that Schramm is a master storyteller.
Ralph Rossum explains Antonin Scalia’s jurisprudence based on “text and tradition.”
The late Tony Snow’s speech in 1995 should be heard by every intern. He discusses the political situation after the Republican revolution of 1994 led by Gingrich.  It is hard to remember what it was like to control both houses of Congress. For those of us who do remember, the slide into oblivion is depressing, but the lesson for today is unmistakable.  Tony’s last word was that to remain in power, the Republican Congress must cut spending. Well they did not and the rest is history.
Steve Hayward offers a fascinating comparison of Churchill and Reagan
Some familiar voices are:
Amity Shlaes on ?How 1936 gave us 2008? Her discussion of Harold Ickes and his administration of PWA exactly parallels Obama?s stimulus spending.
Larry Schweikart on ?American History?, but he also recounts his glory days before graduate school playing is a rock band.
Richard Vedder on ?The American Economy.? Vedder is hilarious using his famous ?West Virginia PowerPoint? to illustrate his data even though you cannot see him.
