History
The Glenn Loury Show is the Substack newsletter and podcast platform for economist and social critic Glenn Loury, a professor at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. On the About page, Loury describes the project as an independent space for commentary, essays, and long-form conversations addressing race, inequality, economics, and public affairs. He notes that while he is often described as conservative, his views do not map neatly onto a single ideological framework.

Analysis / Bias
The Glenn Loury Show is an author-driven commentary and interview outlet rather than a straight-news organization. Coverage frequently centers on race, identity politics, free expression, elite institutions, and U.S. foreign policy. Topic selection and framing often align with heterodox or conservative-leaning discourse, though Loury has criticized both progressive and conservative movements.
In Israel, Antisemitism, and Free Expression, the authors argue for open debate while criticizing what they view as overbroad accusations of antisemitism and punitive speech tactics. In You Own It or You Don’t, Loury analyzes U.S. foreign policy and Trump’s Greenland strategy through economic and geopolitical theory rather than partisan rhetoric. In Jeffrey Epstein: Concierge to Global Power, he suggests that media focus may obscure deeper networks of power, reflecting interpretive analysis rather than investigative reporting.
Sourcing varies by post type. Essays are often argument-driven and interpretive, while interviews reference named participants and mainstream reporting. Because the outlet emphasizes commentary over straight reporting, it reflects ideological framing but does not routinely promote demonstrably false claims.
