Customer Reviews
Analysis for the rational mind
Cato provides a very intelligent look at different topics and interviews interesting speakers. Of course it has a libertarian slant, but that is part of the reason I subscribed. This is sometimes political, but not in the inflammatory way Reason magazine can be.
I like the host. Solid voice and he keeps it interesting.
Very intelligent, logical and approachable
This is a great way to introduce someone to libertarian thinking. It covers a wide range of current topics in about ten minutes a pop and in my opinion always takes a rational view of the topic covered. If you think that libertarian means far-right war mongering, well I suggest you take a listen and see that it really is all about letting people regardless of race, color or where they live just decide for themselves how they want to live.
Live and let live pretty much sums it up.
