  • Great content, terrible production

    The recent Peter Hitchens and Chris Snowdon episode was unlistenable as are many others. Such a shame because the content is excellent. Keep up the good work but please employ a decent sound technician!

    Difficult to listen to. Invest in half reasonable microphones would be my advice.

  • Cracking podcast for libertarians

    30 minute bite size chunks about a different policy area each week. Always something different and not always unanimous views. But mainly in the free market direction.

  • Great

    One of the few UK centric libertarian leaning podcasts. As others have said, I wish there were some more longer form interviews. Oh, and less content on the “nanny state”.

Nobel Prize Economist: Why Institutions Matter | IEA Interview
Q: Why do bad institutions persist for so long despite knowing their detrimental impact?
Powerful elites often resist changes to institutions that benefit broader society since they themselves derive wealth and stability from the existing structures.
