  • Has Politics Changed Forever

    Has politics as we know it been suspended indefinitely “due to covid”?

    If that was the end of an era, then what is the next political landscape going to look like?

    We get back to talking politics again, and whether we really are living in a monopolitical world.

    We address the continued presence of woke agendas, the disappearance of Keith Starmer, and just what might happen next if governments push Central Bank Digital Currencies.

  • Libertarianism In Mainstream TV

    We’re so used to the general level of statist indoctrination that comes out of mainstream television and film, that it can be a surprise to find a truly libertarian character.

    They are certainly not common, but there are some notable examples, which we talk through here. Sometimes its just a hint of something that is on the small state side, but other times its clear and unequivocal morality.

    This leads us to discuss other Hollywood films that depict tyrannical regimes and the fight to win against them. How come society hasn’t been prepped nicely for seeing fascist regimes?

  • Vaccine Passport Exemptions

    In this episode, we discuss the medical exemptions you can self declare in order to attend venues or events that insist on (or by law are mandated to use) the UK Covid Pass.

    Is there a window of opportunity now where we can avoid both testing and vaccines in order to go about our daily lives?

    Does this mean you’ll need the certification from a government doctor?

    If you can self identify as a different gender, can you self identify as immune to SARS-CoV-2?

    And in a rare moment of contrition, Andrew has an apology to make…

  • Jack Dorsey Surprises And Anarchism Sells

    In this edition, Andrew drops some white pills starting with Twitter’s founder Jack Dorsey tweeting out a complete surprise.

    Is Jack a secret libertarian? Does this mean he’s not really in control of twitter policy or that it could change in the future for the better?

    We also talk about Michael Malice’s recently released book The Anarchists Handbook and the record number of people buying it across the world.

    With people voting with their wallets to learn about the nature of the state, and being exposed to this controversial thinking by key online influencers, could this be a turning point in the fight for freedom?

  • 12 Months From Now

    In this episode, we tackle a question from one of the members of our Telegram channel, which you can find at t.me/soundingboard. We were asked what we thought Britain, and the world, would be like a year from now.

    We begin by reminiscing what it was like twelve months ago and how far things have changed over the past year, before making predictions on what the next, and coming years have in store for us.

    Will lockdowns be a thing of the past? Or will they be a threat constantly hanging over our heads, like the Sword of Damocles?

    Can Andrew drag Nic from the dark hole he walks into during the podcast? And can you tell if you have the coronavirus by trying to bench press 80kgs?

  • Do People Really Understand Fascism?

    Everyone is taught, quite rightly, that Fascism is bad. But do they really know what it is, other than to name the atrocities of WW2 and the Holocaust?

    We look at the differences in how the education system and the media have protrayed both Fascism and Communism in the past, and whether there really is an appreciation for the terms left and right wing any more.

    As usual we dig into the definitions, and analyse individual aspects of the state in detail, such as the monetary system and state regulation of industries.

    After all is said and done, was the end of the 20th century a huge missed opportunity to banish authoritationism forever through education?

  • The What’s Worse Game: Dad Edition

    After listening to the first What’s Worse Game, our Dad couldn’t resist getting in on the action, and so came up with a new list of competing horrors for Nic to challenge Andrew with.

    The aim of the game is to pick the worst of the two options – not the least worst – and then explain why.

    There are some absolute corkers in this week’s version of the Worst Game, and we cover such lovely topics as slavery, the BBC and Sadiq Khan.

  • The Amazing Life Of John McAfee

    This week, Andrew tells the story of John McAfee.

    From his early life as a computer programmer at NASA in the 60s to his exploits on the run from the US government for alleged tax evasion, John was always a legend.

    We hope you enjoy hearing a little more about his fascinating life.

  • Should We Really Privatise Viruses?
    Nukes are normally one of those areas that even so-called libertarians equivocate on.

    Do you really want those in the hands of private individuals or corporations? Surely the state is a safe pair of hands and nuclear power and atomic weapons need to be heavily regulated? Right?

    Well we’ve discussed this topic before (supermarket nukes), but this time how about deadly viruses?

    Should the development of virus technology be super-regulated like nukes, or should the private sector have free rein?

    Could a deadly virus that would wipe out humanity be created by the private sector if there were no government regulation?
