As comedians abandon college campuses and risk having their social media presence destroyed by saying something controversial, comedy has become the vanguard for free expression and the war against censorship. Without jesters to poke fun at the powerful and cloak important truths in humor, society becomes a stagnant, humorless morass that tends ever closer towards authoritarianism.</p><p>That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1637582455</p>

Kibbe on Liberty is a weekly podcast with libertarian author and economist, Matt Kibbe.

That means talking, and listening, to a wide variety of people outside the echo chamber of officially sanctioned experts.

Cold one in hand, settle in for the next brain-stimulating hour of Kibbe on Liberty.
As the president of Free the People, Kibbe has decades of experience in the libertarian political sphere. He is the author of three books, including Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff, a #2 NY Times Best Seller. Kibbe is a fanatical DeadHead, drinker of great whisky, and collector of obscure books on Austrian economics.
