Lions Of Liberty

In this very special, completely off the rails episode of the flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined for a special episode 420 edition of "Libertarians in Living Rooms Drinking Liquor", as he's joined by Car and Bird from the Friends Against Government podcast, as well as our resident rambler, Howie! This proves to be a recipe for...well, hopefully a beautiful disaster of sorts.  If you tune into this show for the deep dives into libertarian philosophy, this might not be the episode for you...BUT if you tune in for the nonsense and hijinx, well look no further because you have found your nirvana.  After the gang settles in and gets through a few of Howie's drunken, rambling tales, they cap things off with a brand new game show: "Serial Killer, Politician, Superhero or Singer?"

On today's show we welcome Drew Cook to Felony Friday. Drew and John discuss Drew's experience with the criminal justice system and his road to addiction recovery.

He's noticed in the libertarian community a seemingly nonexistent perspective when it comes to ending the drug war, the perspective of the recovering addict. Drew has filled the void by launching: The Clean Libertarian. The goal of The Clean Libertarian is to spark a discussion in both recovery and libertarian circles about drug addiction, the benefits of decriminalization and the to expose the state for their massive failure know as the War on Drugs.   Learn more about your ad choices.
