    Great podcast with James Lindsey. Glad I found this podcast. Intelligent content exists everywhere and stupidity is intersectional as Rose of Dawn says.

    Renegades are fab
    Brilliant, truthful, on topic. I look forward to each episode every Tuesday.

    You need this podcast in your life
    Thought provoking, topically relevent and intelligent discourse by two great hosts and first-class guests. Not for dummies, the sensitive millenial or Marxists.

    "Ideologically possessed"
    In the words of Jordan Peterson, these guys are ideologically possessed. When guests talk to Roman, they're not talking to Roman, they're talking to "Anarchism". They never interact with their guests in a good-faith exploration of the guest's ideas - they're always jumping in and interrupting, hammering on the same old points that they make episode after episode, often points that are irrellevant or only tangentially related to the current topic under discussion, much to the guest's annoyance. This is the ideological possession taking hold. I think they see each encounter as an us vs. the guest "debate" even though they barely do more than snarkily repeat the current mainstream doomsday opinions with an "I told you so" holier-than-thou tone. Each episode is peppered with inappropriate "jokes" that I'm sure are intended to come off "edgy" and "look at us and our free speech!" but fall totally flat and induce much cringing on the part of the listener. I can only bring myself to occasionally listen because of the great guests they manage to get. But then I hear a brilliant economist with the experience and wisdom of Mike Schussler, get arrogantly blustered at by Roman and I just want to throw my phone out the window. Guys, do better. South Africa really needs a good podcast with the calibre of guests that you get on the show, but you're enjoying popularity due to an absolute dearth of competition. Do much, much, MUCH better research before you get your guest on, talk to your guests and understand and explore their ideas more, ask questions that are not just aimed at buttressing your own narrow agenda, stop interrupting, stop going on tirades / rants about your own nutcase anarchist ideology, it's just dumb. Do much better.

    Great podcast
    Great podcast, I do all my socio-econo-political thinking in a Safrican accent now, so thank you for that. I'm not entirely sure if that means I'm more intelligent as a result of listening, but I certainly do feel so. Cheers. P.S. The Frans Conje episode was fantastic (though I like it when you guys talk as well), and it is what drove me to write a review, but you might want to run the audio through a compressor sometimes because the volume range of his speech from rather loud to extremely quiet is a problem but a fixable one. If you want me to do this for you, just say so in an episode and I'll reach out again with my info.

    Only 4 stars because it's not TWICE a week.
    Curse these two, I WAS going to start the first libertarian/classically liberal podcast about South Africa but it looks like I'll have to come in 2nd, 3rd, or whatever, haha. Fantastic podcast, great guests, basking in them ideas. ZA needs all the voices for liberty it can get right now. Superb.

    Two average dudes not afraid to challenge today's politically correct narrative

    Not for snowflakes
    Thank you to Gareth Cliff for providing these gents with the platfrom to air their views, have guests on that provoke meanful conversation but also allow for alternative angles to issues fasley reported in the media, without shutting folks down. Listen, learn, question. Not for snowflakes but they are welcome to listen in.

    The hero (podcast) South Africa deserves.
    Enough said.

    Free free free thinking

  • Mike Masson
    Bitesize libertarian wisdom
    Against the backdrop of a teenage democracy wading it's way through political turmoil, a few trailblazers discuss the true meaning of freedom. Relevant guests, frank discussion and breaking new ground.

    Very good!
    Thought-provoking discourse in a time of 140-character mob hysteria.
