In life, there are many important topics and questions, but at the end of it, there is probably only one- what happens when you die? To talk about this, Remso enlists Mike Feuz and Logan Albright from the Last Call podcast to jump into this dark and mysterious topic.

I love podcasting as much as I love politics, and I am starting a new show to walk you through my podcasting method. Listen to the first episode then subscribe here – link.chtbl.com/podcasting-and-platforms!

Where do I begin? This is often the first question asked by a new podcaster (and old ones looking to start a new brand). This question usually paralyzes someone looking to start a show. They’ll look at other shows, see 4 years of growth and think, “I have no idea how to replicate it.” Or, “Who would listen to me? I am not an expert.” This resistance is completely normal, but it isn’t an excuse for procrastinating. In this episode, I talk about the 5 or 6 years of talking myself out of starting this show because I want you to know that is a common reason people never begin. It is the first hurdle to building a great show.

Remso flies solo in this episode to go over the Netflix adaptation of Mark Millar’s original comic series. While he’s at it, he discusses whether “superhero deconstructionism” is overplayed in current stories, he takes a swipe at those who got mad about his Mortal Kombat comments, and he even answers questions directly from listeners!

In the first of a series of shows filmed at this year's PorcFest, Matt Kibbe sits down with organizers Carla Gericke and Dennis Pratt to discuss this remarkable gathering of liberty lovers from all across the nation. PorcFest is just one part of the larger Free State Project, an effort to gather libertarians and other freedom-minded folk in the state of New Hampshire to influence public policy and build a community. Whether you want to run for office, start a business, or just live near people who share your ideals, the Free State Project hopes to create an island of liberty apart from the increasingly polarized and authoritarian tendencies gripping the rest of the country.

Mark Perry discusses the bizarre case of the Stryker, a vehicle used by the U.S. army to transport infantry troops to the battlefield. The Stryker, Perry explains, is a deathtrap: it isn’t heavily armored enough to stand up to real combat, it rolls over easily and it can’t withstand IEDs or tank rounds. What’s more, everyone seems to know this. And yet the Pentagon is spending nearly a billion dollars on a new contract, not to give the Stryker better armor, but to put machine guns on it. Perry describes this as putting a tourniquet on the wrong part of the body, and is emblematic of the kind of wasteful spending that has been draining America’s treasury and putting lives at risk for decades.

Discussed on the show:

“The Stryker is a ‘deathtrap’ but you’re paying for it anyway” (Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft)

“The Outpost (2019)” (IMDb)

“The Pentagon Wars (TV Movie 1998)” (IMDb)
