It amazes me how much he reads, whether biblical studies and theology, economics, history, and more—and because of that he’s able to talk with lots of people from different disciplines and areas of expertise. With a name like “Protestant Libertarian Podcast,” you can guess where he’s coming from on certain topics, but he’s a gracious host and willing to listen well to people with whom he disagrees. ... more

  • My favorite podcast!

    Alex does a great job of explaining how libertarianism as a political philosophy is compatible with Christianity. Insightful analyses and critique of biblical studies, economics, and libertarian writings that are easy to listen too and understand. History, current events, and meaningful interviews. If you’re a Christian, libertarian, both or neither, you will learn from this podcast. Give it a listen!

  • One of the best libertarian podcasts out there

    So many libertarian podcasts out there, and many are good. But Alex does a superb job keeping it simple while also taking the ideas of liberty beyond the barebones basics.
