This week Shane and Jonathan were joined by Josh Brady, a small business owner in Nashville, TN. With three people all having different health insurance situations, they were able to cover a lot of ground. Topics ranged from the effects of mandates on insurance rates, state to state comparisons, the great advantage of HSA’s for younger people, the real factors that cause health insurance rates to rise, and many other topics. They didn’t get to cover everything they wanted, but it was about as information packed an hour as they could do!

Hope to see lots of people there!

This website, http://www.ldnetwork.tv, is still a major work in progress.  The second podcast we launched, “The Hellfood Hellcast“, is still on temporary hiatus.  The reason is that we are working on a lot of new ideas, and these will continue to trickle out this summer.  The listenership for our flagship podcast, “The Libertarian Dime“, is growing much faster than we expected, and we are very proud of that fact.

Last week, we interviewed the Outright Libertarians and set a record for length of interview and show.  It was a total blast.  We tried to scale back this past week, but Jonathan and I went off on some great riffs about libertarianism.

We are beginning a full court press to get Libertarian candidates on the show, so expect some cool guests in the next couple months!  We will always remain true to our roots and values, so expect the occasional fireworks.

Keep an eye on this site too!   Big changes coming!
