Join host Steve Green of VodkaPundit.com for the ultimate cocktail party, as Louis Armstrong, H.L. Mencken, and Ayn Rand — or at least their biographers — stop by:

• Terry Teachout, drama critic with the Wall Street Journal and critic-at-large with Commentary magazine, talks with Ed Driscoll about his new biography Pops: A Life of  Louis Armstrong, and The Skeptic, his classic 2002 biography of H.L. Mencken.
• Taken from his Silicon Graffiti video blog, Ed talks with historian Jennifer Burns, author of the recent book, Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right. Jennifer will discuss how Rand, the ultimate contrarian managed to spend the 1950s alienating conservatives, the 1960s alienating liberals, and the 1970s alienating libertarians. As Groucho Marx would say, whatever it was, Rand was against it, or so it seemed.
• From his weekly Instavision series on PJTV.com, Glenn Reynolds speaks with Jonah Goldberg, editor at large with National Review.com, and pollster Scott Rasmussen. And with Marc Thiessen, former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, and author of the new book, Courting Disaster.
• Produced by Ed Driscoll.
