Libertarian Listening Options

I had lost my .mp3 player at Ephemerisle (found it later) and I had an 8-hour (not counting stops at In-N-Out) drive facing me.  I needed something to listen to and found nothing worthwhile on the radio.  I called a friend of mine and she gave me the number to the Liberty Radio Network’s Listen Line.  It was fantastic and as it was a Sunday I had unlimited minutes.  It worked great and it gave me a chance to listen to some of the shows not named FreeTalkLive, which I remain a huge fan of.

We are fortunate to live in a time with so many options available to us.  No longer do we have to settle for the least insane Conservative talk outlet or risk driving off a cliff as NPR induces catatonia upon us.  Several internet radio programs that cater to people like us (the rational types) have already popped up and more arrive on the scene all the time.

Mike Lowry, one of the driving forces behind the initial founding of the Free Agents Network, and Rick Caldwell have recently started a show called Infrequently Asked Questions.  “Rick is a voluntaryist who has been running a fairly well known site, ifaq.us for some time,” said Lowry.  “I’m a relative newbie to the stateless living scene.  I host a blog at thenewactivist.wordpress.com, and worked in libertarian political circles for years. Together we offer our opinions on politics, police actions, people, pie, and anything else that comes across our minds.”

Another Free Agent, Darian Worden, has been hosting Thinking Liberty on Patriot Radio since early September.  “The show is hosted by me and usually includes Free Agents Bile and Black Bloke as co-hosts,” said Worden.   “We try to have the most authentic, spontaneous conversation on liberty that a radio presentation will allow.  Listeners can call in live.  We’ve discussed G20 resistance, 420 smoke-ins, political movements in history, foreign policy, the meaning of liberty and authority, and we apply our discussions to help us better liberate ourselves.”  The show airs Tuesday evenings from 8-9 EST.

Free Agent Little Alex does not host his Little Alex in Wonderland show very frequently but all three of his shows have been absolutely top notch and are well worth a listen.  He has a knack for scoring really excellent guests such as Antiwar.com’s Scott Horton and Roderick Long.  I’m really hoping that Alex airs some more interviews as I have been very impressed by all of them.
