    Still laughing from yesterday. ".. I haven't got a gun .. I didn't bring a gun .. I mean, I've got a gun but it's at home and it's in bits". Gold.

  • Best podcast

    Excellent podcast.

    ‘Breakfast with Beau’ is definitely my cup of tea. Love the way Beau explains the news in layman’s terms, along with normal common sense opinions and humour. I particularly like the unexpected entertainment & music references from the latter part of the 20th century!

    Ps. Does singing ‘Monday, Monday’ in my head, anytime I hear that particular day mentioned by anyone in the real world, officially qualify me as ‘one of the chosen few’ ??

  • Returning to Iran

    Shortly after the American hostages were released from Iran in 1981 a reporter asked former hostage Bruce German if he’d ever consider returning to Iran. In the greatest reply imaginable he said, “In the nose of a B-52”.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Form a Brotherhood | Interview with Stephen Carson aka Radical Liberation
Q: What's stopping us from reviving these kinds of brotherhoods today?
Not much beyond social trust and governance; the conversation emphasized starting small, meeting in person, vetting members to maintain integrity, and gradually building from local chapters rather than jumping straight to large-scale organizations.
How to Form a Brotherhood | Interview with Stephen Carson aka Radical Liberation
Q: I wonder if I could just ask you a question or two about it in the broad sense.
We discussed how mutual aid societies historically emerged from practical needs to support members through tough times, and how these structures foster trust and real-world bonds that are missing in large welfare systems today.
We Haven't Had Free Markets for 150 Years | Interview with Ryan McMaken
Q: What are one or two pithy arguments to wake up someone Keynesian to the libertarian view?
Argue that the central bank does not prevent economic dislocations and that empirical history shows monetary expansion contributing to booms and busts, while highlighting how wealth concentration and policy-driven inflation erode real purchasing power for the average citizen.
We Haven't Had Free Markets for 150 Years | Interview with Ryan McMaken
Q: So how do you think is the best way to fight against the myth that central banks saved us from depressions?
Explain clearly that the central bank's role has often coincided with inflation and economic distortions, and present historical data showing depressions occurred with limited or no central bank intervention, while modern episodes show complex dynamics that do not support the idea that central banking alone prevents crises.
Breakfast With Beau | Monday 4th May 2026 | w/ Radical Liberation
Q: What do people you know in the U.S. think about the Iran situation and Trump's approach?
The guest reflects a shift in opinion among some hardline supporters after events like the Iran conflict, Gaza issues, and Epstein-related controversy, suggesting a gradual re-evaluation of Trump's stance.
