Ricochet was founded as a "politics website intended to resemble Facebook and Twitter".[1] It is a subscription site which has articles posted by contributors and members on which members can comment and discuss the issues raised. The site describes itself as a place for "center-right conversation"[2] and is listed on a Libertarian website as being for "Conservative/National Review Types".[3]
The site was started in May 2010 and founded by Rob Long and Peter Robinson. It was cautiously welcomed as a new and interesting model for a political discussion website.[4][5][6] The site also garnered early praise for the quality of the writing from contributors.[7]
Ricochet serves as a host for conservative podcasts including ones produced by National Review.[8] In 2016 the site grouped its podcasts into the Ricochet Network which can be downloaded on a group feed.[9]
Members pay a fee to post and comment on the website.[6][10]
