  • Great politics podcast

    Great podcast that is a must listen for libertarians but also works for politics in general. Each event is balanced with speakers from across the political spectrum and debates are reasoned & cordial, unlike recent presidential debates. It does get a little highbrow at times (some as discusion on monetary policy), but one of the best political podcasts currently streaming.

  • Good to great content, mediocre to OK production values

    Too many of their speakers don't know how to use a microphone. 1 in 5 don't use it for much of their speaking time.

  • Long, but Good

    The debates cover a wide variety of excellent topics, and the conferences usually have a strong non-libertarian voice to provide a contrast to Cato's in-house opinion.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

No Compulsion in Religion—No Exceptions: Islamic Arguments for Religious Freedom
Q: How can Islamic principles of no compulsion in religion challenge the Taliban's ban on girls' education?
The Islamic principle of no compulsion in religion directly counters the Taliban's educational bans by advocating for freedom of choice and interpretation in religious practice, thus undermining their authority.
No Compulsion in Religion—No Exceptions: Islamic Arguments for Religious Freedom
Q: As a follow-up, is this also happening in Afghanistan?
Yes, the Taliban imposes a singular interpretation of Islam that excludes many others, thereby oppressing even pious Muslims who may have differing views.
No Compulsion in Religion—No Exceptions: Islamic Arguments for Religious Freedom
Q: Can you tell us why this view of John Locke is relevant to the discussions today in Islam?
Locke's view reminds us that government coercion cannot create sincere belief, which resonates with the challenges faced by Muslims today. The state should remain neutral toward religion, allowing people to practice faith freely without coercion.
Combatting Overcriminalization: From the Shark House to the White House
Q: What impact did your felony charge have on your daily life and mental health?
It caused significant anxiety and depression, affecting both personal and professional aspects of life.
