A while back I heard Gardner say he was going to attempt to get people shall we say from the left of political spectrum on to the podcast to debate various issues.

He's also suggested to me in doing a cultural podcast

I don't know if Gard has attempted to do so or if Gard's just got distracted.

Anyways I thought it a good idea not just because Gard's not bad at breaking down the arguments of opposing views but it would be good to debates between the libertarian perspective & other political perspectives. In fact I personally reckon just in general there isn't enough public debates going on between libertarians & other perspectives.

I thought I just post this as a reminder of course being as its Gard's podcast I'm just suggesting something I'd like to hear etc.

I like that idea.

Of course, it's always cool to admit where the left and Libertarians agree! Antiwar.com is good at striking that balance with their guests...

Hey, guys!

Just up doing the final mix on the new audio, and YEAH, I do plan on getting people on with whom I can debate. I'm particularly interested in chatting with a few reps from the Center for American Progress. Hope to call them tomorrow to schedule someone to talk "health 'reform'".

Juddy Gregg's people have thusfar been no-shows, despite their promises. Hmm... Sounds like he's being true to his M.O.!

Hasta!

 

G!

Cheers Dude!

One guy from the left I'd love to get on the show would be Christopher Hitchens as he a an engaging fellow who's very engaging & of course a great debater.

Good discussion on the Healthcare thing. Liked how you didn't hyperventilate like some on the cable shows.

Cheers,
