Three Right Turns explores progressive politics and policy with an eye towards out reach and explanation to centrists and open minded people of conservative persuasion. Do you feel left behind by the modern culture and economy? Are you alienated by friends, co-workers, and family, or are angry and confused for always feeling like the bad guy? Maybe Three Right Turns can help. Hosted by A.Ron, a former Christian conservative turned secular progressive, this podcast will answer honest questions with straightforward answers without judgment or condescension.

3RT:36 – Hailing Frequencies Open with BJ from S. Carolina

Mar 18 2021 103 mins  
“How do I talk with my more conservative friends and family?” is the number one question I get asked on this show. It’s also something I’ve thought a lot about, because I have a LOT of conservative friends and family! While my batting record is far from 1.000, I’ve had some successes here and there. Today I talk with a former Trump supporter and disillusioned right leanin

3RT:35 – The Wrong Kind of Kindness

Mar 08 2021 88 mins  
We’re almost to Joe Biden’s 50th day as President. In this short period of time, there have been some important victories, but there’s also been a fair share of disappointment. Do these setbacks mean electoral politics has failed yet again? Is it really as some fear, that the two parties in the US are the same? If so, how do we move politicians left? How can we be more politi

3RT:34 – Gun Control with Aiden from Socialism Done Left

Feb 16 2021 98 mins  
America has more guns than people. Our murder and suicide rates are far above our international peers. Can something be done about gun violence and death in America? And if so, what? Aiden from Socialism Done Left (youtube / twitch) joins the podcast once again to share some stats and debate what policies and priorities we should be pursuing in the goal of saving lives and protecti

3RT:33 – Diamond Hands with Jim!

Feb 02 2021 92 mins  
Podcast producer and host Jim Jones breaks his 3RT silence by joining me to try and separate math from myth when it comes to Game Stop. Game Stop (GSE) has been living the classic “rags to riches to rags to maybe riches to almost certain rags” story in the stock market and on social media this past week. What’s going on? Has the financial Davids finally gotten one over on the

3RT:32 – Happy New Year?

Jan 16 2021 68 mins  
We’re just over two weeks into 2021, and it doesn’t seem that we’re fated to reduce our collective anxiety levels any time soon. What happened at the Capitol on January 6th? What can we do about it in the future? What should the Biden administration and congressional Democrats have as their priorities over the next two years? And how does Swizzbold and 3RT plan on covering po

3RT:31 - I'm Dreaming... of a Social Wealth Fund for America

Dec 13 2020 59 mins  
This week A.Ron talks briefly about the various messes we're in, and encourages people to help take the Senate back in Georgia, before doing a deep dive into the history and future of social wealth funds. What is a Social Wealth Fund? How has Norway's experience proved that government can effectively and responsibly manage such a thing? And could it possibly work here? We consider

3RT:30 - Court Rebalancing with Aiden from Socialism Done Left

Nov 25 2020 70 mins  
Aiden joins A.Ron to discuss Court Rebalancing. Is the Supreme Court lost to progressives for a generation? What is the cost of such a loss? Is there any way we can fight back? What is legal, what is even possible? We consider several popular suggestions on rebalancing the Court, as well as how we can tactically and strategically achieve this. Bur first, A.Ron gives a pep talk abou

3RT:29 - Election 2020 Mythbusting

Nov 11 2020 71 mins  
Congratulations, America! We dodged the authoritarian bullet for four more years. It was a close race, perhaps closer than we were hoping for, and maybe we'll be tempted to be disappointed in the outcome. After all, even if we take Joe Biden's win as a repudiation of Trump, we lost ground in the House and will have to work overtime in Georgia to potentially take the Senate in a tie

3RT:28 - Rules Lawyers

Oct 28 2020 62 mins  
A.Ron makes his closing arguments for why you, the listener, should make sure to go out this presidential election. Whether you're a third party voter, someone planning to sit out a battleground state race, or someone stuck in deep blue or deep red America, A.Ron has a little something to motivate you to get out there and vote. And if the worst should come to pass, and we find ours

3RT:27 – Ooga Booga Moments - Feedback Episode!

A.Ron responds to mail he's gotten on recent shows! We talk about worker cooperatives, elitism in electoral politics, the Postal Service crisis, taxing income versus taxing capital gains, anti-racism, and cancel culture. With just the slightest of detours into caveman philosophy and Soviet misadventures in agriculture. Join A.Ron next Thursday night, October 22nd at 9pm EST for the
