Jonathan Seyfried
A Socialist Reads Atlas Shrugged
In this podcast, a self-identified Socialist examines the arguments in Ayn Rand's book, Atlas Shrugged. Far from simply shooting down the ideas in the book, Jonathan Seyfried does their best to argue on fair ground.

NOTE: this is not a read aloud of Atlas Shrugged, but instead a critical close reading.
