The Tom Woods Show

The word "equality" sure sounds nice, but it's been used on behalf of plenty of evil causes. Is there any sense in which it is unambiguously good? Tom Mullen joins me to discuss the issue, with emphasis on Thomas Jefferson's views.

The great jack-of-all-trades Dominic Frisby joins me to compare lunacies between the UK and the US these days, and then discusses his latest project: a dramatic production based on the actual stories of children separated from their parents during the horrors of World War II.

Richard Hanania joins us for a potpourri episode: Ukraine/Russia, wokeism, what non-progressives can learn from progressives, and more.

Dan McCarthy, editor of Modern Age, joins me to discuss the political implications of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe and of the January 6 hearings, what it means for November elections and a possible Trump run.

The great ex-Marxist Michael Rectenwald joins us to discuss what our elites are up to, and what steps we can take to insulate ourselves against their schemes. Special Offer: Happily date box: Take 50% off your first date at

David Moore, who recently sold his healthcare business and has been leading entrepreneur groups and masterminds to help people escape the machine, joins me to discuss an approach that's been helping a lot of people break free from the petty tyrants and obtuse ideologues who employ them.

Henry Bingaman is a master with words: his words have sold $300 million in goods and services for his clients (of whom I am one). He's also a libertarian and a Supporting Listener of the Tom Woods Show, and he made a stunning presentation to my in-person event for my School of Life program. Today we talk about an excellent profession for libertarians, and about Henry's own shift away from his previous work and into specifically helping libertarians, at a time when the rest of the world seems to be against us.

Michael Malice says the Paul Graham essay "What You Can't Say" is one of the most important things he's read, so I'm discussing it in today's episode.

It used to be that you could just grin and bear it through the college-industrial complex. But academia has become so farcical and absurd that it probably needs to be avoided in as many cases as possible. The COVID hysteria and the mandates were the icing on the cake. Cameron Sorsby describes a plausible alternative to this soul-crushing machine.

In my review of the news today I notice some odd details left out of major headlines: like the latest BLM celebrity who (the headline doesn't mention) was shooting at a mother and her children, or a weird poll about confidence in Kamala Harris that leaves out the opinion of a rather important country. Fun!

Kevin Dolan of Exit joins us to discuss the bizarre workplace situation most people face, and why it is that there appear to be no non-woke corporations. We also discuss how to cope in this world.

Nick Paproski, Chief Operating Officer for a large EMS staffing company and a licensed paramedic, joins me to discuss how crazed regulation has ruined ambulance services, too.

The title says it all.

CJ Killmer of the Dangerous History Podcast joins me to discuss British and American propaganda during world War I.

Dutch farmers have been vigorously protesting restrictions that would devastate both them and the food supply, and the Western media either ignores or misrepresents them. Keean Bexte has been reporting from the ground there and he joins us for a thorough briefing.

Keith Knight of the Libertarian Institute and I discuss the contributions of some of the most persuasive and original thinkers in our tradition. Book Discussed: The Voluntaryist Handbook or

Scott Horton talks arms reduction, Hiroshima, whether reducing or eliminating nuclear weapons is naive/unrealistic, and more. Book Discussed:

You may have heard about the Austrian School's free-market explanation of why the economy moves in a boom-bust cycle, but in this episode I walk you through it step by step. Conclusion: End the Fed!

We have long deplored how American history is taught in classrooms, at all levels. But most people have done more griping than doing. Connor Boyack just did something we've obviously needed for the past 50 years, but which nobody -- not even extremely well funded libertarian or conservative think tanks -- had bothered to do. It's great news.

James Madison biographer Kevin Gutzman joins me, along with historian Brion McClanahan, to discuss the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
