On this week's podcast:

This week we see the return of Michael Rectenwald PhD, Professor of Liberal Studies and Global Liberal Studies at New York University 2008 to 2019.

We recount again his departure from NYU and his transition from a Marxist/Communist to Libertarian.

Michael is the author of numerous books, and co-founder of American Scholars. 

Much of our discussion is about NZ. But we also cover Totalitarianism, Ukraine, Biden v Trump, and the challenging times ahead.

And, of course, we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
