  • Usually Thoughtful

    Pluralism pod critiqued anti illegal immigration advocates without making an effort to understand. No consideration of possible legitimate concerns

  • Aaron brings a refreshingly true take on reality

    His honesty is impeccable. He won’t ignore something because it goes against a narrative. It’s great to see a political philosophy podcast be honest, most of them aren’t.

  • Thoughtful and interesting

    Aaron Ross Powell brings together an excellent array of guests to look at the ideas of the liberal society from outside the centre-right bubble these shows often operate in. Much like when he was on Free Thoughts, Aaron works hard to ask penetrating questions of his guests, in order to critique their position or to expose the critiques of his own. It’s so good, it is the first podcast I’ve ever paid to get early access to.

  • A great champion of liberty

    Aaron is fair debater and willing to have good faith conversations with people he disagrees with. This podcast is one of the best outlets for challenging illiberalism in our political culture.
