Mark Edge Show - Independence Inn - Dennis Pratt

15 hours 57 min ago
Mark Edge catches up with Dennis Pratt, co-owner of the Independence Inn in Stratford, New Hampshire, to make the case for why libertarians should stop talking and start moving. Dennis breaks down what the Free State Project has built in New Hampshire — 300 liberty groups, eight Liberty Clubhouses, and a thriving community of porcupines — and how the Independence Inn serves as a way station for visitors and new movers alike, with discounted stays to help people explore the libertarian homeland before committing to a move. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be surrounded by people who share your values, this one's for you. Contact Dennis at @DennisPrattFree on X or join the Libertarian Homeland group on X.

Mark Edge Show - Seasteading - Joe Quirk - THE FULL INTERVIEW

Wed, 2026-06-10 16:33 +0000
Mark Edge charts new waters with Joe Quirk, Seavangelist and President of The Seasteading Institute and author of Seasteading: How Floating Nations Will Restore the Environment, Enrich the Poor, Cure the Sick, and Liberate Humanity from Politicians, for a wide ranging conversation about why libertarians have won all the arguments but still can't change anything — and why seasteading might be the technology that actually puts the state out of business. They cover Joe's unlikely conversion from left-wing radical to voluntaryist, the current state of seastead technology from ArkPad to Ocean Builders to LiberArx, jurisdictional freedoms at sea, the wild story of Chad and Nadia being hunted by the Thai Navy, and why freeing your mind might be the most important first step to freedom.

Mark Edge Show - LNC26 - Free State Project - Eric Brakey

Mon, 2026-06-08 12:00 +0000
Mark Edge speaks with Eric Brakey, Executive Director of the Free State Project, at the Libertarian National Convention about why concentrating libertarians in one state is producing real, measurable wins — while national third-party politics keeps spinning its wheels. They cover the culture of accomplishment over endless philosophical debates, New Hampshire's unique citizen legislature, the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance's scorecard system, and why the Free State may be libertarianism's best shot at lasting change.

Mark Edge Show - LNC26 - Live and Let Live - Robbie Miles

Sat, 2026-06-06 12:00 +0000
Mark Edge and Robbie Miles discuss something Robbie is passionate about at the Libertarian National Convention. He shares his journey from mainstream environmentalist to liberty advocate. Robbie breaks down why he believes the government is the wrong tool to solve climate change, how tort law and free markets could tackle pollution more effectively than regulation, and why the Live and Let Live Foundation is building a global mutual aid network around two simple principles — don't aggress, and be excellent. A wide ranging conversation touching on regenerative agriculture, seasteading, free cities, AI, property rights, and what world peace might actually look like.

Sal and Mark - EP 6

Fri, 2026-06-05 12:00 +0000
Sal and Mark are back for episode six, fresh off a month of travels — Bitcoin Vegas, Consensus Miami, and BCH Bliss in Slovenia. Before diving in, Sal recounts his wild Homeland Security detainment at Tampa Airport — arrested for weed on the jetway. The guys break down the chaos at the Libertarian National Convention in Grand Rapids — rubber chickens, stolen pamphlets, a gnarly slap, and the disaffiliation of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire — and contrast it with what the Agorists are actually building. Then, Sal's full speech from BCH Bliss on how to truly privatize your Bitcoin Cash using Cash Fusion, BCHX, Edge Wallet, and Nym. Followed by a deep dive interview with Alan from Quai Network — a scalable proof of work blockchain with smart contracts, a dual token system, merge mining, and a flat coin tied to the price of energy. Plus the weekly Firo Frontier segment covering the latest in privacy coin development. Sponsored by SALT Lending. Questions about SALT Lending?

Mark Edge Show - Andrew Heaton , Comedian & Author

Thu, 2026-06-04 16:18 +0000
In this episode of the Mark Edge Show, Mark sits down with comedian and author Andrew Heaton to discuss his new book, Tribalism is Dumb: Where It Came From, How It Got So Bad, and What to Do About It — a book Mark calls the best he's read in a decade. Blending Douglas Adams-style wit with serious anthropological and evolutionary research, Heaton explains why humans are innately tribal, why political parties have become the "last tribe standing" as other community and identity groups have eroded, and why technology — especially social media — is likely the real culprit behind the last two decades of escalating partisanship. The conversation also digs into the difference between authoritarian and pluralist impulses, why the left-right axis fails to capture what's actually going on in politics, and why politics brings out the worst in people when it becomes a replacement religion. Grab Tribalism is Dumb on Amazon or Audible (the audiobook is performed by Heaton himself and highly recommended). #markedge #markedgeshow

Mark Edge Show - LNC 26 - FreeIanNow.org - Bonnie Freeman

Wed, 2026-06-03 03:04 +0000
Through overcharging, excessive sentencing, and inconsistent enforcement, IAN FREEMAN is being unjustly prosecuted for standing up for financial privacy. The government has targeted Ian for his role in promoting financial privacy through cryptocurrency, with made-up charges built on false narratives. His case represents a dangerous precedent: if we allow this to happen, anyone who advocates for privacy and decentralized financial systems could be next.

Mark Edge Show - LNC 26 - Make Voters the Donors - Dan McMillan

Tue, 2026-06-02 18:32 +0000
Dan McMillan joins Mark Edge at the Libertarian National Convention to discuss Make Voters the Donors — a proposal to give every registered voter "voter dollars" to fund the candidates of their choice, shifting political power away from lobbyists and billionaires and back to everyday Americans. McMillan breaks down how the voluntary public financing system would work, why it doesn't require a constitutional amendment, and how grassroots organizing in key swing states could make it a reality by 2030.

Mark Edge Show - LNC 26 - Clean Slate Initiative - Dr. Sheena Meade

Wed, 2026-05-27 00:40 +0000
30 million Americans are eligible to have their criminal records cleared — but less than 10% ever do. Why? Mark Edge sits down with Dr. Sheena Meade, CEO of the Clean Slate Initiative, at the Libertarian National Convention to talk about one of the most overlooked injustices in America: the invisible cage of a permanent record. With 1 in 3 Americans carrying an arrest or conviction, and over $460 billion in lost wages tied to background check barriers, the stakes couldn't be higher. The Clean Slate Initiative is automating the record-clearance process — no lawyers, no fees, no bureaucratic red tape — for people who are already eligible under existing law and have remained crime-free. They've already opened a pathway for over 18 million people across 13 states and D.C., and are pushing for a federal solution with bipartisan support.
