KOL423 | Haman Nature Ep. 1: Getting Argumentative

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 423.

My appearance as the first guess on Adam Haman's new podcast and Youtube channel, Haman Nature (Haman Nature substack).

As I noted in the initial discussion, this is the fourth or fifth podcast for which I was the first guest, the others being KOL374 | The Intellectual Contributions of Hans-Hermann Hoppe: The Great Fiction Podcast Ep. 1, KOL078 | Lions of Liberty Podcast Inaugural Episode: Intellectual Property, KOL244 | “YOUR WELCOME” with Michael Malice Ep. 001: Intellectual Property, Prostate Cancer, and KOL347 | This Time I’m Curious Ep. 1: The Libertarian Movement, AI Rights, UFOs, Music, Movies, Alcohol.

Shownotes:

Adam and Stephen discuss argumentation ethics which of course means they also talk about museums. Part 1 of a 2 episode interview.
