“The Cato Daily Podcast is a valuable, concise presentation of Libertarian ideas but has a serious flaw. The usually thought-provoking content is marred by a fake interview format which comes across as highly scripted at best and utterly uncritical at worst. This should be replaced with short, conference-style presentations with only a brief introduction by the host. Despite the slow-pitch softball questioning most Cato associates present well-reasoned arguments supported by facts, but the lack of critique fails to challenge weak points and treats even the occasional weak, pseudo-intellectual thesis with full credulity (witness the Oct 2006 episode "300 Million and Counting" featuring Daniel T.

Only those rare guests who don't quite hold to the Cato party line get something resembling challenging questions (see the Oct 2006 "The Libertarian Democrat" parts I and II featuring Markos "Kos" Moulitsas). Bottom line: Needs a redesign but well worth a listen.”Read full review »
