    To prepare for the upcoming Porcupine Freedom Festival (PorcFest) we feature interviews with new friends we met at last year's PorcFest. Josh Noone is a seasoned festival goer and a musician whose upbringing shaped his freedom-oriented life; Erika Fey the self-styled "Mayor of Hooperville" who found her people at PorcFest; James Cordiner is the founder of The Voluntaryist Academy and host of a podcast by the same name. They share stories and highlights from past festivals as we look forward to this year's highly anticipated 22nd Annual event.

    In this episode we discuss:

    • Libertarianism vs Voluntaryism
    • PorcFest in the times of COVID
    • Highlights from past festivals
    • What sets PorcFest apart from other festivals
    • Putting these principles to action in the real world

    ...and more!

  • Beatty Carmichael on spiritual root cause, God's standard, and the Prayer of Freedom
    May 13 2025

    Beatty Carmichael is a spiritual healer and the author of The Prayer of Freedom, a book dedicated to helping people break free from chronic pain, mental health struggles, addictions, and more. He teaches at the largest addiction recovery center in America, home to over 500 women.

    While working with these women, he developed a unique 3-step approach to prayer—one with an astounding 87% success rate in setting them free from their struggles. In this conversation with Beatty we discuss:

    • How his upbringing shaped his journey
    • How he took a scientific approach to applying Biblical truths to healing
    • The genesis of his Prayer of Freedom
    • The key differences between his approach to addiction and more mainstream approaches like AA, NA, etc.
    • Why you do not need to believe in God for the prayer to work
    • The nature of the Spiritual War we are in

    ...and more!
