Gardening season is quickly approaching and if you're anything like me, you have an intense desire to give a backyard garden a shot but don't know where to even begin. My friend, Erica, agreed to come on the show and give us a brief rundown on how to get started and a few key things to consider. Unfortunately the audio struggled with latency issues but the pertinent information is all right there. Be sure and follow Erica on both Twitter and YouTube.

Joshua Smith is an At Large officer for the LNC and is running for LP National Chair in 22. He was cool enough to come on and discuss both his campaign and vision for the party as well as his personal story with us. Josh is someone I admire and respect for the way that he has handled some extremely unfair and harsh criticisms regarding his past, and I would like to formally endorse Joshua Smith for LP Chair!

Guys, y'all are in for a treat with this one! I had the always wonderful Kim Ruff on the show to discuss her battle with alcoholism and what steps she's taken to find some freedom from that. We had an in depth conversation on the nature of addiction as well as announcing the begging stages of formulating a Straightedge Caucus within the LP! Kim is also currently running for Arizona Mine Inspector, you can find out more info on her Facebook page or her twitter @kimruff8 

Had the pleasure of kicking off 2021 with hearing about how Benevolus found freedom from a lifestyle of addiction and a new way to live. Be sure and check this one out! 2021 is YOUR year! Check him out on Twitter @RealBenevolus

On today's episode I had the pleasure of sitting down with someone who is doing all the good for the liberty movement with her particular skill set. Jessi has some awesome viewpoints and provides hope that the up and coming generation of libertarians are passionate about spreading the message in an efficient manner. This was a fun interview!

Here's another story of recovery from a fellow libertarian who is involved within the 12 step recovery community. There's some solid wisdom to be found in here and certainly a little something for everyone. Greg has been through some tough times but managed to come out on the other side stronger. This is one of my favorite episodes so far. 

DISCLAIMER: As I type this, I'm super worn out from having stayed up all night attempting to smoke some bbq (ended up being a bust), so forgive me if the audio is a little off and the intro/outro lacks the usual pizazz 

Really solid interview today regarding the future of the LP and the potential direction the party should take. In seeking to end the war on drugs, political means need to be entertained and what better way to do that than by good old political blackmail. This is still a new concept and I'm sure as time goes along it will become much more nuanced, but for the time being this interview does a great job laying the groundwork for what should be a really compelling discussion in the libertarian community.

Matt is the director of media relations for the Drug Policy Alliance, serving as the primary liaison between the organization and members of the media. I asked him to come on to describe the awesome work that he and others are doing within the organization and to also explain some of the recent victories seen in this election cycle along with future goals. This was a really informative interview and I hope it pushes you to check out Drug Policy Alliance and to chip in whatever you can to help!
