A disclaimer

This podcast is characterised by a clear ideological inspiration, and even if we try our best to be as objective as possible, we will be addressing issues embracing our liberal/libertarian background. If you hear "liberal", we should make clear that we use the term in the European sense of the word - therefore meaning somewhat centrist, fiscally conservative and socially progressive. If you're an American liberal, feel free to follow the show and let us know what you think, but don't expect to agree with us - until we'll change your mind, that is!
