In the inaugural episode of Free Kiwis!, recorded in August 2020, James asks Michael about his research into mental imaging, single-sex schools, and much more besides. 

In January 2021 we talked to the philosopher and commentator Dr. Jamie Whyte about the climate for free expression in universities, the past and future of ACT, and his vision of a 'libertarian populism.'

Michael and James discuss some of the complexities of free speech, and how it might be linked to both democracy and rationality.

We talk to NYU professor and academic psychologist Jonathan Haidt about safetyism, resilience, and the future of universities.

Michael and James talk to Salvatore Babones of the University of Sydney about why the pollsters got it wrong (again), the climate for free enquiry on campuses, and what fields public universities should research.
