Love the new guest host Billy Binion! The name of the show and cover photo is a little confusing in light of recurring guests. Maybe just… The Reason Interview?

Billy Binion?! No. Just no. It was shocking to hear Nick interview him. I thought it was a joke at first. And Billy works for reason?! He may be bright, but he is unsuitable for broadcast. Terrible voice, poor presentation and a limited ability to articulate his thoughts. I expect more than a ditzy gay stereotype from Reason.

Really great episode! Great questions, really insightful answers to legal cases and history, plus spooner and rothbard get substantial shout outs. Will buy his book!
