Libertarian: Paul v Johnson

powered by Sounder

Our surprising trilogy on the Libertarian Party comes to a close with the battle no one (but Aaron) is clamoring for: Ron Paul v Gary Johnson. Should we look to Populist Passion or Pragmatist Persuasion in this battle of the Also-Rans?!?!?!?!?!?

Mises: Libertarian v Libertarian

powered by Sounder

Aaron hijacks the podcast the way Mises Caucus hijacked the Libertarian Party: by showing up and doing the work. We explore the history of America's (currently) largest third party: the Libertarians, who have been going through a bit of change recently.

Hang out on couches in Colorado, see what the Kochs are up to, and learn about America's real revolving door problem: Minor Republicans turning into Libertarians and back again all on this week's Presidential Death Match!

Kickass Party: Webster v Gore

powered by Sounder

Politicans love parties and we love watching politicans from afar. But when it comes to the best parties which of these up-all-night ravers is the king: Al "Human Snooze Button" Gore or Daniel "Nosferatu" Webster?

What? It's a different meaning of the word "Party"?

Forget what I said then.

Monument: Phelps v Humphrey

powered by Sounder

We take a break from all the silliness for more silliness to consider what makes a good monument and what it means to build a statue and/or ridiculous pointy tower in someone's honor.

Forgotten Fathers: Hancock v Rutledge

powered by Sounder

It's Independence Day week and we're exploring a few less well-known founding fathers. Too frequently we heap the achievements of America onto a few men while ignoring the massive work, collaboration, and concessions given by the elected representatives of the time. Let's change that as we look at the presidents of the first two congresses of the United States: John Rutledge and John Hancock.
