Welcome to Flagship Freedom, where you’re on the frontline in the war of ideas.

This weekly podcast hosted by Dan and Michael explores core problems of philosophy through the lens of a free society. Programs alternate monthly between four categories: guest and listener call-ins (Guests), the examination of current events (Happenings), in-person dialogue with opposing viewpoints (Dialogue), and the discussion of philosophy (Philosophy).

All are welcome to listen, few will remain unchanged, and none are censored. Feel free to use the escape pod; it’s there for a reason.
