NBC Boston Producers on WGBH re: Free State Docu-Series

Former co-host Christopher Cantwell invited me to be interviewed on his new show, "Surreal Politiks". We don't agree on much these days, but regardless of your opinions of Chris and his views, the man conducts an excellent interview and he dug deep into my history and the history of Free Talk Live. We also covered the Crypto Six. It's a 3.5 hour interview and I think you'll enjoy it.

Christopher Cantwell Interviews FTL's Ian

Today's guest is Eric Brakey, the new executive director of The Free State Project, a nonprofit that has been working since 2001 to get small-government diehards to move to New Hampshire and make the Granite State a stronghold for libertarian ideas. Prior to becoming head of the Free State Project, Brakey was a Republican state senator in Maine, where he authored successful legislation that expanded gun rights, legalized over-the-counter birth control, and enacted Right To Try legislation. Reason's Nick Gillespie talks to Brakey about the state of the libertarian movement, how Ron Paul and Young Americans for Liberty shaped his worldview, and how he hopes to concentrate what he calls "the libertarian diaspora" in New Hampshire.
