Last Friday, I appeared on Part of the Problem, a twice-weekly podcast co-hosted by Dave Smith, a standup comic and self-made libertarian currently housed somewhere in that hipster's paradise, Brooklyn. It's an irreverent, wide-rangind, and ribald conversation covering whether Gary Johnson's 2016 run has been a net good for libertarianism (obviously, I think), where Rand Paul went wrong in his bid for the GOP presidential nomination, growing up in and around New York City at very different periods of time, why I think millennials have a real shot at defining their own lives unknown to previous generations, and more.

You can listen along by clicking below. Scroll down for more options and information about Part of the Problem.

Follow Part of the Problem on Twitter.

Follow Dave Smith.

Follow co-host Mike Brancatelli (not present for the podcast, alas).

Part of the Problem is part of the GaS Digital Network, which produces over 15 hours of live content a week. Check out more info here.

Listen and subscribe on iTunes.

Attention, New York Area Reasonoids: I'll be debating Walter Block in Manhattan tomorrow about whether libertarians should vote for Trump or not next week (Smith is the warm-up act). Tickets are free but must be reserved. Go here for more information.
