You Asked, We Gave You Libertarian Solutions, Star Trek Characters and…Dating Advice?
Enjoy our special webathon video episode, handling your insane listener email. Now donate, you beautiful crazies!

Our beloved Reason Roundtable listeners did not hold back: per Reason tradition, they sent in questions (and one limerick) and editors Katherine Mangu-Ward, Peter Suderman, Nick Gillespie, and Matt Welch have now given their answers. This is all in the spirit of Reason's annual webathon, in which we try to persuade you to make a tax-deductible donation to the nonprofit foundation that publishes our work. In fact, an anonymous, generous donor offered to match the next $100,000 you give us! Or, bid now to win the first-ever Reason NFT, if that's more your thing.
What did the editors do as soon as they were vaccinated? Which fictional characters best represent them? Are there new Reason podcast shows on the horizon? Can Peter really segue almost anything into a Marvel reference? (Spoiler: Yes.) Cocktails, American literature, relationship advice (it is cuffing season after all) and more all right here on this special video podcast. Want to not just hear but also see the collective groan in response to the phrase "2024 election"? Check out the video version here.
You definitely, maybe, possibly will be a better, smarter, more interesting, and maybe freshly date-able person after consuming this podcast. So please give us some money so we can do this all again next year, okay? Okay.
Cheers and libertarian love,
The Reason Roundtable

I realize now that these four have come to libertarianism from a bog standard lefty position after accidently confusing it with libertinism. Their only real interest is in legal weed and hookers, and don't really give a shit about anti-libertarian things like mandates violating bodily autonomy, censorship, book-burning and civil liberties.
Also Amash proved he was an ideological whore after his stunt which included lying about the Mueller Report. He has the integrity of a weasel.
Nick has been consistently good throughout the pandemic.
Only relative to his cohorts.

Libertarian love? You aren't libertarians! True libertarians voted for Trump! If you didn't vote for Trump you voted for Biden! Anyone who says they voted libertarian voted for Biden! You asked for this! You wanted it! You caused it! You can't claim to be libertarian! Aaaauuuggghhhh!

David Attenborough - "And here we can hear the wild sarcasmic's mating call to any nearby Laursens. Let's see if he can attract one."
It is funny how he is basically repeating what Mike and Jeff cried all during the election. He is almost full jeff Mike.
He's incredibly stupid and has no opinions of his own, nor the capacity to develop any. He's simply not intelligent enough to reason his way into his own position or conclusion. Even back when he was still mouthing libertarian platitudes it was always the most childishly simplistic soundbites and slogans he picked up from the Koch corral. He's just begun regurgitating childishly simplistic soundbites and slogans from a dumber class of trainers.
You’ve posted this a bunch of times already sqrlsy.
By the way Matt, I checked out some of your music. Not my style but not bad either.
You should write a webathon song (if you haven't already and I missed it).
Matt doesn't want seconds after you've been spoiled by mike.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that.
Matt's totally going to read your comment and you two are going to go hang out smoking weed and building machine guns in a lavish $200,000 AirBNB before checking out the gloryhole at a Ministry concert bro!
Reason staffer praises the Reason staffers, news at 10.
Only if you consider Vox libertarian would you be providing anything libertarian.
