Aaron Kyle

The Chesterton School (Aaron recently became a co-director there) appeared on Apologetics.com Radio. That's right! AK47 has managed to get itself onto the real airwaves! Hopefully not for the last time...  

Aaron and Kyle come together to discuss various issues in politics, discussion, arguing logically, the state of discourse, and more.  Aaron tells us about his recent radio appearance and work at a private Christian university, we talk about everyone's desire to control others, Kyle expresses an unusual amount of frustration with how stupid and evil people are, we talk a little about the Mueller Report, and the recent backlash that Nathan Pyle, the creator of the Strange Planet comics, experienced over a tweet a couple of years ago. 

Aaron's friend Jesse comes on the show to correct all the misconceptions of MKs that Paul and Aaron created. Caution! The content of this episode is not appropriate for...humans

Aaron and his new philosophy friend from Florida chat about God's existence, mysticism, Buddhism,  reformed theology, and some other stuff. 

Aaron and Kyle talk about Hollywood, whether or not we should give our money to them, the Unplanned movie about Abby Johnson's life, and abortion in general.

Aaron's friend Alex (the "Bernie Bro") is back to do some political punditry. They cover the Democratic Jungle of presidential candidates and explore issues like how Beto raised more money than Bernie.  The sound is not fantastic, due to some technical difficulties. 

Paul Smith and Aaron continue their bizarre/epic discussion of being Missionary Kids in the Philippines! 

This was sort of a "lost episode" from back when we were going to do two separate AK47 podcasts, one long form hosted on our blog and a short form semi weekly on Anchor. Obviously we went exclusively with Anchor since our original idea was very dumb. This episode was a four conversation between Aaron, Kyle, Kyle's Eastern Orthodox friend Gregg Webb (who happens to be gay) and Aaron's friend Brian Sterling. The main subject of discussion was singleness in the church. The audio quality is quite poor, this was recorded in a completely different way than we do now. You can see how far we've come!

Old RTV episode where Paul Smith and Aaron jabber jaw about being missionary kids!

This is a very special episode for me (Aaron) because our guest today is the Executive Editor of The Federalist! That's right Joy Pullman! She has been my editor, mentor, and friend for the last couple of years so finally getting to speak with her was true JOY! And besides all that Joy is a pretty big deal. The Federalist has essentially become the epicenter for opinion journalism on the American right in large part because of Joy's tireless efforts to cultivate a community of writers, mostly brilliant conservative women. She's regularly a featured guest on places like NPR and Fox news. So our humble podcast is very very honored that she agreed to speak with us. 

We discuss a lot of stuff but the most important things concerned American education. Joy specializes in education journalism and has written an entire book on common core.
