Brain Food Even if you disagree, you will learn. And then maybe you will stop disagreeing and engage in an important dialogue devoid from mainstream discussion. Reviewed on 1/21/2008
Turns the focus inward... This podcast has a well-deserved reputation for causing one to look more deeply into oneself than is commonly thought possible. Along the journey into the self, you're bound to visit some milestones that you really don't want to see. I've noticed that reviews for the podcast are either 5-star praise, or 1-star rants against some imaginary crime perpetrated by the host. This is absolutely understandable. I've faced several demons along my own journey with Freedomain Radio, and I nearly turned back a couple of times. But it was the incredible beauty of the destination which kept spurring me on, and beyond those demons. -- If you want to chase after your true potential for joy and magnificence, and are ready to face some challenges along the way, then by all means, subscribe! I can guarantee that you'll be shocked by what you find. Reviewed on 1/3/2008
Eeeeexcellent To take a "Matrix" metaphor, this podcast is one big red freedom pill. Be a part of the greatest, most beautiful moment in earth's history. This is the most precious, unprecedented, unique, and amazing conversation in the world today. It's about philosophy, politics, art, aesthetics, family, relationships, economics, psychology, childhood, adulthood, maturity, wisdom, truth and virtue. This conversation is passionate, articulate, funny and irreverent, it shines a bold light on old topics - and invents a few new ones to boot! Truly revolutionary, and I think it is the most beautiful thing on the web.

Mr. Molyneux has a remarkable talent. His focus on personal lives, and family matters, imbues such stratospheric notions as universal morality and individual sovereignty with a tactile, practical, real-world urgency that I have only rarely experienced before. His podcasts are the definitive answer to the question asked by one of Ayn Rand's books: "Philosophy: Who needs it?". The resounding answer is, YOU do, I do, we ALL do. You NEED these podcasts. -- gmgauthi
In just a few weeks, Stefan Molyneux has profoundly changed the way I view the world. Though I already shared much of his philosophy, his erudite yet easy strolls through the tangled mess of politics, religion, and economics have sharpened my mind, while keeping me entertained. This man is fearless and relentless in his search for the truth. Do yourself a favor, and join him on his journey. -- Rodzilla
Stefan Molyneux has a way of untangling our modern view of society. He uses first principles to uncover truth and hypocrisy. This is not to be missed. -- Anonymous
I started listening to Stefan's Podcasts as a skeptic to the idea of market anarchy. Although I was already a libertarian for many years I still believed in a state run court and police system. After he explained how a stateless society would be able to prevent crime to the greatest extent it completely changed the way I thought. -- Anonymous
He manages to make philosophy more interesting than I ever imagined that it could be. While I probably only agree with 50% of his arguments, I enjoy hearing his views even when I do not agree with them. The greatest libertarian podcast I have found on the Internet. -- Anonymous
Clear, concise, hard-hitting cold logic delivered with a warm friendly tone. -- Anonymous
This has to be the most innovative talk that I have ever listened to. Very engaging, lots of details. -- Anonymous
Shrugging off the numerous stereotypes, which have obfuscated what the libertarian movement is truly about, Stefan Molyneux offers an incredible, easy-to-understand model of what our society could/should become. You're cheating yourself if you pass these podcasts by. -- Anonymous
Molyneux does ground-breaking work on the intersection of morality and politics, and why this intersection is key to understanding people's beliefs. I would recommend these podcasts to ALL individualists. -- Anonymous
Searching for the truth takes courage, open eyes, and an honesty that bears our most deeply held beliefs to all scrutiny. Stefan does this with integrity, intellectual rigor, and an open dialog not to be found anywhere else. The result is a humorous and caring, passionate investigation into all beliefs that shape culture, religion, government, family, and individual lives. Participating at the freedomainradio.com boards is an added bonus that extends the conversation into any avenues we wish to explore. Stef isn't the best because he's right. He's the best because he engages in an honest pursuit of the most important of all knowledge: Wisdom. Cheers Stefan! -- Smacksim
