  <title>Bonus Episode – What is Conservatism? – with Corey Astill and Kyle Sammin</title>
  <description>The Saving Elephants podcast turns three years old today—no joke!&amp;amp;nbsp; To celebrate Saving Elephants is releasing a bonus episode: a re-podcast from the Conservative Minds podcast where Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis joined Corey Astill and Kyle Sammin to discuss Frank Meyer’s classic book  What Is Conservatism? &amp;amp;nbsp; Conservative Minds is a podcast about conservative ideas and thinkers. &amp;amp;nbsp;Hosts Corey and Kyle explore what it means to call yourself a conservative, where conservatism has been, and where it's going. &amp;amp;nbsp;Each week, they select readings and conduct a discussion to share with you our investigation.&amp;amp;nbsp; You can join the conversation by liking them on Facebook or following them on Twitter at @consminds. &amp;amp;nbsp; The book  What Is Conservatism? contains multiple essays from twelve prominent conservative intellectuals compiled by the father of conservative fusionism himself, Frank Meyer.&amp;amp;nbsp; Just what&amp;amp;nbsp;is&amp;amp;nbsp;conservatism? &amp;amp;nbsp;Many people are groping for answers, especially as conservatives seem to retreat into factions—Tea Partiers, traditionalists, libertarians, social conservatives, neoconservatives, and on and on.&amp;amp;nbsp; But this illuminating book shows what&amp;amp;nbsp;unites&amp;amp;nbsp;conservatives even as it explores conservatism’s rich internal debate. &amp;amp;nbsp;  What Is Conservatism?&amp;amp;nbsp;features brilliant essays by such leading lights as:  F. A. Hayek, Nobel Prize–winning economist and author of&amp;amp;nbsp;The Road to Serfdom William F. Buckley Jr., founder of&amp;amp;nbsp;National Review&amp;amp;nbsp;and the man perhaps most responsible for the rise of modern conservatism Russell Kirk, whose seminal book&amp;amp;nbsp;The Conservative Mind&amp;amp;nbsp;gave the conservative movement its name M. Stanton Evans, author of the conservative movement’s central credo, the “Sharon Statement” (1960)  &amp;amp;nbsp; It also includes a foreword by #1&amp;amp;nbsp;New York Times&amp;amp;nbsp;bestselling author and&amp;amp;nbsp;The Dispatch&amp;amp;nbsp;founder Jonah Goldberg explaining the influence of&amp;amp;nbsp;What Is Conservatism?&amp;amp;nbsp;on conservative thought and the book’s relevance today. &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
