The Daily Standard is back! We're excited to announce the return of our daily podcast with a new host: Charlie Sykes. Tune into the first episode of the reboot with editor-in-chief Steve Hayes as the first guest.

Caveat Emptor, music edition. Sometimes people book the wrong airline tickets because they're not paying attention, but seeing the wrong band? That's what happened to one couple in the U.K. who assumed they were seeing the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In fact, they saw the Red Hot Chilli Pipers, a bagpipe band whose CD I bought as a gag when visiting my sister in Scotland. They are awesome.

China's space program doesn't give a crap. These images of Chinese Long March 3B boosters falling into residential communities are frightening. There's a reason most countries launch spacecraft from the coasts, but not China.

Speaking of safety, this drag racing mishap is haunting in its beauty. Thankfully the driver was not hurt.

Atomic Homefront. I've yet to tune in, but as a former Saint Louisan fascinated with the Cold War, I am interested in HBO's new documentary, which you can watch (for free) for a limited time here.

Save the date! Join us at the 2018 Weekly Standard Summit. This May 17-20 at the historic Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, join Stephen F. Hayes, Fred Barnes, and Michael Warren and special guests Bret Baier and A.B. Stoddard as they discuss the future of American politics. Book your tickets now.
