Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 312. Back in 2013, Michael Shanklin posted a Youtube video, Anarchy Rising: Part 2, and asked other libertarian anarchists to send in a short video response on why they are a voluntaryist or libertarian. I believe he was going to use the submitted videos in some kind of montage. He never did the montage AFAIK and he made his video private for some reason—a habit annoyingly common among libertarians: they publish some articles or other content for years, and then later they take it down or demand that the publisher take it down, when they are applying for a job or something (sometimes later, they change their mind and pester the poor publisher again and ask him to "put them back up"). Yeah. You're so important. Whatever. Anyway, I did a video response while taking a walk one morning. It's only 5 minutes but provides a brief summary of how I view libertarianism. I had forgotten about it but just received a recent comment by one Steven Barendregt: "7 years later and I think this video is still the best BRIEF explanation of libertarianism that I've ever seen. Truly underrated video." So I decided to add it to my podcast feed here in case anyone else finds it of interest. Enjoy.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 116. This is my recent appearance on Michael Shanklin's Triple-V: Voluntary Virtues Vodcast with Michael Shanklin (my segment starts about around 1:11:23 of the video below). We discussed a variety of topics fraud and contract theory, and so on. Apparently Christopher Cantwell was on before I joined, but as we had had some words previously, he ducked out before I joined and then rejoined after I came on. It seemed a bit like an ambush to me, but I tried to be patient and explain things to him he was confused about, regarding fraud, his facebook page being taken down due to a complaint, contract and property theory, and so on. Some background material for these topics can be found at: A Libertarian Theory of Contract: Title Transfer, Binding Promises, and Inalienability; Fraud, Restitution, and Retaliation: The Libertarian Approach; What Libertarianism Is; The Libertarian Approach to Negligence, Tort, and Strict Liability: Wergeld and Partial Wergeld; Rand on IP, Owning “Values”, and “Rearrangement Rights”; Hoppe on Property Rights in Physical Integrity vs Value; “Aggression” versus “Harm” in Libertarianism.

Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain Radio - and recent winner of the 2012 Liberty Inspiration Awards - is interviewed by Michael Shanklin of http://voluntaryvirtues.com. Freedomain Radio is the largest and most popular philosophy show on the web - http://www.freedomainradio.com
In the fifty-third episode, Todd and his panelists Peace, Freedom, and Prosperity blogger and writer Michael Shanklin and anarcho-libertarian attorney Matt D. Harris discussed the GOP presidential debate in South Carolina, Ron Paul's answer to immigration at the debate, Sheldon Richman's criticism of Ron Paul's answer and the ensuing discussion on his thread on Facebook as well as Todd's thread on the subject, Congressman Anthony Weiner announces his public resignation over the transmission of pics of his genitals to a 21-year-old college student from Seattle, Washington and his ties to an ex-adult film star, the Republican and Democratic hypocrisy over the matter, the tragic death of Dr. Jack Kevorkian and how his support for and practice of A.S. has shaped the way we look at the terminally ill, opponents of former chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker who ruled that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional are defeated by another ruling in Walker's favor despite their attempts to smear him, GOP Congresswoman Michelle Bachman who launched her bid to become the first female president of the United States, galvanizing support for "intelligent design" in the public "government" schools and more. [*Note: This episode was ok, and the energy level was on the low side. Jim for some reason didn't show up and didn't return my calls or anything, which worried me. Hopefully he'll have a good reason for it. Other than that, the show was ok. Mike left earlier than he should have without an explanation, so the last 40 minutes of the episode was between me and Matt. Overall, it was an average episode IMHO.]

Great show nonetheless!]
