“The content and tone of this libertarian broadcast are always excellent. Each podcast covers the full range of pros and cons about the topic as Trevor is bright and well informed. The podcasts before roughly May 2022 also have Aaron Powell as co-host. His questions are really great in getting...”Read full review »

“Recent Podcast with Jonathan Rauch was disappointing. Rauch implied the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation? Not challenged? Greatly diminished any credibility he might have had as unbiased.”

“Dear Free Thoughts
I think it would be interesting to listen to a podcast that outlines how big international poverty is.The Borgen Project points out this interesting tidbit:
8% of the World’s families live on less than US$ 1.90 per per person per day.:
In 2015. 736 million people lived below...”Read full review »

“Very smart people leading this podcast. The guests they have on are top quality philosophers, policy experts, and academics. They understand what’s going on in political philosophy today and they ask great questions to the people they have on.
Wonderful podcast!”

“This podcast has introduced me not only to a wide variety of libertarian thought but they often bring in voices from other movements not necessarily considered libertarian in order to foster an open exchange of ideas, which is indispensable to sharing free thoughts. Pun intended.
How is it...”Read full review »

“There’s still some good episodes, but the show has gotten so much worse since the 2016 election. There was once a two-parter on “Anarchy, State, & Utopia”, and other deep dives into the philosophy underpinning libertarianism. Now, we are treated to the umpteenth podcast letting us know that...”Read full review »

“It's a decent show that gets into some good issues, but the host is very inconsistent with what he believes the role of government should be. He is also a gun grabber, which in most peoples' view would exclude him from the Libertarian movement.”Read full review »
