But Suderman remains insufferable. Same as it ever was…
While I don’t agree with JD Vance, he is dramatically better take than Nick Gillespie has with his ability to conflate and propagandize.
Nick should be very near the age to join Medicare, so if the problem is the boomers then he should put his money where his mouth is!
Many boomers don’t have the extravagant lifestyle that Nick is accustomed to and have worked hard for forty years to scrap by. These boomers could be in peril of affording retirement.
I see numerous retirees who have to cont... more
This show is always interesting, and the hosts are well informed, knowledgeable and eloquent… With the exception of Reem who speaks only in generalities, all or nothing language and is more often than not uninformed on the history of the world and even of the organization she represents (Reason). Please stop having her on until she’s ready.
Good core content, backup hosts don’t have the credentials that make their more juvenile takes worth listening to.
“Yeah, I had a discussion with some reason staffers about the substance and tone in which we might eulogize him. And I learned a rule from a colleague, which I like a lot, which is don't say anything after someone died that you didn't say while they were alive.”

A sharp, policy-forward roundtable of libertarian editors discusses the week's biggest stories through a skeptical, data-informed lens. Episodes repeatedly tackle economic issues like inflation, housing, and taxes, assess the role of government and markets, and weave in foreign policy considerations (Iran, Brexit, U.K. trends) with culture and tech canons. The conversation blends brisk banter, cross-ideological guests, and occasional sponsorships, making it a good fit for listeners who want timely, opinionated analysis without partisan boilerplate. Noteworthy is the panel format that swaps perspectives among seasoned editors, plus frequent guest contributors who bring legal, media, or foreign-policy expertise to deepen the libertarian criti... more
