My Appearance on the Liberty Blues Podcast

 I'm terribly behind in talking about this since the episode aired two weeks ago, and for that I can only apologize. 

Anyway, on March 5th I was interviewed for the Liberty Blues Podcast, which as the name implies is a podcast with a Libertarian point of view. I'm always happy to appear to podcasts to spread the word about Pink Pistols and Operation Blazing Sword. 

I'll be honest: if you've listened to my appearances on other podcasts, then you've likely already heard what I say here. But please don't let that stop you from listening to other episodes of theirs! Give them a try; you might enjoy them and pick up a new podcast or three. 

Three? Yes, the Liberty Blues Network has more than one podcast.

The Liberty Blues Network is the home for three unique podcasts with a libertarian point of view. The first is "Libertarian Los Angeles " where host Shawn Osborne talks to you about the libertarian movement in Los Angeles county. The second is "Liberty Blues" where Shawn is joined by his friends from Indiana, Jon Phillips and Steve Marin. and talk about issues in the Midwest and nationally. Lastly Shawn is joined by his progressive friend Fernie Sanders and talk about current events and political philosophy from two different points of view in the podcast "A Progressive and a Libertarian walk into a bar."
