This episode is an interview I had with Shepard the Voluntaryist. The video is posted here on YouTube.
I thoroughly enjoyed our discussion and I think you will too. Also please check out Shepard’s content which is linked below.

The Openlyvoluntary.com homepage has an ordered list of reading, viewing and listening material that Shepard recommends to help people come out of their mythology and become critical thinkers.
Stoicvoluntaryist.com is Shepard's mirror site of voluntaryist.com, his late mentor Carl Watner's website, for whom he serves as a trustee.

We mentioned "Patrick" in the interview; this refers to Patrick Smith of Anarchast. Here's a link to that awesome YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNvkDFGmEojalREtEYFPBXg
And we discussed James Freeman's courageous work as well; here is his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF7vSikMWThKp3Zhc2PdAmg
