Radio America debuts "The Best of Ricochet" hosted by James Lileks for syndication beginning on September 19. The one hour weekly show, available by satellite delivery and download, is a fast-paced digest of the Ricochet Audio Network's informative podcast streams featuring smart, engaging, iconoclastic thinkers who span the center-right spectrum. These include college law professors, moms, libertarians, pop-culture addicts, vets and the occasional note from the road from a truck driver.

Lileks is also the long time co-host of the Ricochet Podcast (along side Peter Robinson and Rob Long), the author of several books (including "Gallery of Regrettable Food") and has been the sole contributor to lileks.com since 1997. He began his writing career as a columnist for the Minnesota Daily while he was a student at the University of Minnesota.

After college, Lileks wrote for City Pages, a Twin Cities alternative tabloid. He served as a general columnist there until 1988, when he was hired as a columnist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. This led to a columnist job with Newhouse News Service and then The Washington Post for a period in the early nineties. In the mid-nineties, Lileks returned to the Twin Cities for a job with the Star Tribune.
