  • 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.
