  • 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!

  • Good content awful audio quality.

    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”.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How the UK Is Blocking Its Own Growth (And How to Fix It) | Shanker Singham | IEA Podcast
Q: What do you think we should be doing in order to bring down some of these distortions?
We need to create coalitions of countries to address inequalities in market distortions through trade agreements and regulatory practices focused on competition.
How the UK Is Blocking Its Own Growth (And How to Fix It) | Shanker Singham | IEA Podcast
Q: Can you explain what you mean by these property rights and their violations and where these distortions are coming from?
Property rights are foundational for competition and economic freedom; they protect your property and intellectual assets. When they're violated, it leads to market distortions that contract economic opportunities.
Inside Labour's Economic Strategy: Supply-Side Vision & Political Reality | IEA Interview
Q: How is the government doing so far on all of this in your eyes?
I think there is a lot to like in the planning bill and positive changes around gray belts.
Inside Labour's Economic Strategy: Supply-Side Vision & Political Reality | IEA Interview
Q: Do you think the government will hit its 1.5 million housing target by the end of Parliament?
I think 1.5 million homes was always going to be a stretch target and is a good target to have, but it may be missed.
The Truth About Scandinavian "Socialism" | IEA Interview
Q: What reforms would you suggest for improving welfare outcomes in European countries?
Shift towards models like those seen in Malta and Ireland; implement education policies focusing on school choice and vocational training.
