Free Talk Live

Free Talk Live

Free Talk Live is a long-running, syndicated call-in talk radio program and podcast that prioritizes an open-phones format and libertarian philosophy. Originating in 2002 in Sarasota, Florida, before relocating to its current headquarters in Keene, New Hampshire, the show has established itself as a primary media outlet for the voluntarist and anarchist movements. It operates under the guiding principle that the airwaves should be accessible to any listener, allowing callers to determine the show's direction and subject matter without the constraints of heavy call screening.

The program is fundamentally an outreach project associated with the Shire Free Church and the Free State Project, a movement encouraging liberty-minded individuals to migrate to New Hampshire. Its content focuses on the total abolition of state coercion and the promotion of self-ownership. Frequent topics include cryptocurrency, decentralized technologies, local activism, and the legal challenges faced by its contributors. While founded by Ian Freeman and Mark Edge, the broadcast features a rotating panel of hosts—such as Bonnie, Penguin, and other activists—who provide diverse perspectives within the framework of the non-aggression principle.

Technically, Free Talk Live is broadcast seven nights a week and syndicated across over 100 terrestrial radio stations in the United States. It also maintains a robust digital presence, streaming 24/7 via its website and various video platforms like Odysee and YouTube. The show's archives are released under a Creative Commons license, reflecting the hosts' rejection of traditional intellectual property concepts. Although the program discusses global issues and maintains an international following, its operational core is deeply embedded in the political and social climate of New England. The longevity of the show and its unscripted nature have made it a significant platform for debate within the broader freedom-oriented community.

Sal and Mark - EP 22

No studio this week, but plenty to talk about. Sal checks in from lunch in Florida on his way to Prague, where he's speaking at Dark Prague on agorism and crypto anarchy. First up, the hard news: Zano and Freedom Dollar were hit by an inflation bug exploit, and the fix meant rolling the chain back 30 days. Sal doesn't sugarcoat it. He explains why the rollback will cost trust with cypherpunks who value immutability, why some investors may actually see it as a plus, and why Zano's core value of private tokenizable assets isn't going anywhere. Freedom Dollar has held its peg thanks to heavy over-collateralization, and several privacy projects, including Firo and Quai, reached out to help. Sal also breaks down why NEAR flagging a transaction tied to the Bitget hack should concern anyone who values permissionless money, and why he points to THORChain as the alternative. Then a preview of his Prague talk, "Agorism and the Quantum Leap," built around three tools for going dark: privacy coins paired with non-KYC…
