Coming Thursday: "Stossel on Reason," New Video Collaboration with the Legend!
Watch an exclusive preview of Reason's newest project, which features weekly video content from the leading libertarian newsman, John Stossel.
I'm excited to announce that tomorrow we will debut "Stossel on Reason," a collaboration with the libertarian news legend John Stossel. Stossel will be providing weekly documentary segments, video op-eds, and interviews and more for our website, Facebook page, and YouTube channel. The first video is a look at how enterprising conservationists are trying to save rhinos from poachers by bio-engineering and 3D-printing replicas of the animal's sought-after horns.
Over the years, Stossel has been effusive in explanation of how encountering Reason changed his way of thinking. For instance, in his book Give Me a Break, he says that he spent time looking at right-wing and left-wing magazines before finding Reason during the Virginia Postrel years. "It was a revelation," he writes. "Here were writers who analyzed the benefits of free markets that I witnessed as a reporter. They called themselves libertarians, and their slogan was 'Free Minds and Free Markets.' I wasn't exactly sure what that meant, but what they wrote sure made sense."
Here's the "sizzle reel" that the Stossel crew put together. Make sure to come back tomorrow—and to check your Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter feeds—for the very first "Stossel on Reason" collaboration.

I better see those giant novelty scissors.
He considers regular scissors to be Tiny Novelty Scissors now.
The Postrel Years were glamorpus indeed.
*glamorous
Now it's sourpuss around here.

I have to admit, one of my funnier typos. Curse these fat fingers. I do wonder, though, if Postrel ever calls it that.
I was just enjoying the mental image of a really fancy cephalopod.
"Curse these fat fingers."
Time for a diet, chubby. After all, I'm paying for your health insurance.
It was better without the correction.
A youtube show airing on Thursdays, presumably released in the middle of the day? Give me a break!
I'm looking forward to this. I seldom watch any video over a couple of minutes: I can read faster than I can hear, and I can scan backwards, skim forwards, and search. But Stossel is soooo good at simplifying explanations that it's a joy just to hear them,
You'd think Francisco would make a cameo comment here.
This is the best news I've heard in a while. Looking forward to Stossel finally reaching his final form!
Watching Stossel when I was an early teen got me into libertarian ideas. Been following him ever since. Glad he'll be back! Miss his FNC show.
