Hello everyone.  It's been a longer hiatus than we'd have liked, but Radio Free Ortona is back with a continuation of our discussion on the utility of the conceptual models of the political spectrum.  Paddy starts off by completely discarding our well thought out and not at all confusing 2 axis nautical model that we gifted the world with in our previous discussion.  Instead we really try, and utterly fail, to get down to brass tacks on this issue.  We hope you enjoy the episode.  

Here's the link to a picture of the bingo card spectrum we stumbled upon in our quest to find visual conceptualizations of what we were talking about.  You can refer to it, when we're talking about it in the episode.

Sorry for the delay between podcasts folks, but podcasting seems to have been preempted by the World Cup, Craft Sales, and the general business of the lead up to Christmas.  We're hoping to get together and record another episode before Christmas, but we can make no guarantees.  In our stead is another of our cynical attempts to feed the algorithm, in the form of an assemblage of our pre and post show conversations.  Sorry for talking with our mouths full.  Our moms taught us better.

Thanks for tuning in to our 10th episode of Radio Free Ortona.  As the title says, this is another glossary episode where we just try to figure out what we mean when we talk about the right or left wings of the political spectrum.  In the process we invent an entirely new and not at all confusing nautical model of the political spectrum, in an attempt to separate the concepts from potentially inflammatory language.  It was a tremendously interesting exercise for us, and we hope it's something that you will find useful as well.

Thanks for tuning in to Episode 9 of Radio Free Ortona.  First off, apologies for the length of time it took to get this episode out.  And apologies for jumping right into it.  Paddy walked into the room and started in on the topic before your intrepid producer had pushed the record button, so it starts mid sentence.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of why capitalism seems to be unpopular with young people these days.  Steve puts on his tin foil hat and goes after central bankers.  We pause to express our mutual admiration of The Clash.  And other digressions.  Hope you enjoy.

In this episode, we talk about the Queen, and what she means to us.  How hard it is going to be to adapt referring to the King, when it's been the Queen for all ours and our parents lives.  After that we move onto a meandering discussion of why kids these days don't like capitalism, despite it being responsible for their standard of living.

Here's a link to Katherine Mangu-Ward's TedTalk that we refer to in the episode.  She explains in 11 minutes what we couldn't in over 2 hours.

In this episode we try to conclude our series on gun control and it's effects.  It went longer than any of us expected and as always is full of digression.  Also it got a little more sweary than normal.  Steve yells at Trent. Paddy names people he'd rather were Prime Minister in iambic pentameter.  Trent expresses his disdain for Jordan Peterson's most frequent podcast guest.

Link to the Ivison Youtube video that Steve referenced, poorly.

We'll be taking a bit of a break after this episode as we'll be scattering during the month of August.  We will reconvene in September.  As always, if you have any questions comments or concerns, please email [email protected]

Welcome to our second episode on Gun Control.  Due to some time constraints we didn't get all the way through the material we wanted to cover, so there will be at least one more episode on this topic.  Sorry for stringing you along like this.  In this pod we back track a bit to cover why Paddy and I think that the Government in Canada is acting in bad faith with regards to gun control.  Then we tried to move on to cover some  of what we think are possible second and third order effects of gun control.  We hope you enjoy the episode.  Please direct any questions, comments or concerns to [email protected]

Today we take our first crack at gun control.  We try to focus on the 1st and 2nd order effects of gun control, while our next episode will attempt to take a crack at 3rd and 4th order effects.  Break out your aluminum foil hats for that one.

Today we take on Good Faith. The three of us certainly agree that there's a real lack of it in public discourse. The proper functioning of our western liberal democracies and indeed our societies, seem to depend on good faith to continue functioning in good order.  What does the death of good faith mean for us going forward?  Will we be able to function as free societies if good faith is lost completely?  Please listen in as we fail to answer these and other questions about whether or not good faith is dead or just on life support.

We're available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.  Please share with your friends and leave a rating on Apple and Spotify.  If you could comment as well, we'd really appreciate it.
