Unsafe, Ineffective and Unneccessary 23.11.2021 1:01:14
Are your standards the same as the those who push theirs from above? Even if you think the jabs are safe, there can surely be no argument that they are effective any more? Right? Andrew thinks we need a new term to describe the vaccine effectiveness. No surprise that it leads with a negative. Nic...

BREAKING: Unvaccinated brothers still alive after COVID-19 15.11.2021 44:23
After a short hiatus while SARS2.4 ripped through our families, we’re back to discuss our great suffering, and how we chose to deal with it. What’s the experience of two, healthy, 40-something, “unvaccinated” guys after finally getting infected? We talk about how it spread through our extended family, how bad each of our symptoms were,...

Power Corrupts 14.10.2021 1:06:43
So called “Fact Checking” goes up a notch with a tweet from Zuby posted on his instragram that fails this nonsense measure of reality. Are we getting to a point where some platforms just won’t be worth using any more? Is this what they want? Is there an alternative or are more and more people...

What do we know, so far? 05.10.2021 1:27:42
Nic reads out a list of things we now know for sure related to SARS-CoV-2 and in particular its origins. Knowing what you know, how do you process that information, and how do you cope with the burden of the truth? Andrew analyses the methods of the enemy and asks whether its the perfect blend...

There are more of us than you realise 21.09.2021 1:35:45
This edition, Andrew tries to find the number of people who haven’t succumbed to experimental gene therapy in the UK. Is it comparable to the support for major political parties? There’s a sizable chunk of people who aren’t going back for a second dose as well. Are they on our side or have they just...

Has Politics Changed Forever 07.09.2021 1:17:55
Has politics as we know it been suspended indefinitely “due to covid”? If that was the end of an era, then what is the next political landscape going to look like? We get back to talking politics again, and whether we really are living in a monopolitical world. We address the continued presence of woke...

Libertarianism In Mainstream TV 26.08.2021 1:04:08
We’re so used to the general level of statist indoctrination that comes out of mainstream television and film, that it can be a surprise to find a truly libertarian character. They are certainly not common, but there are some notable examples, which we talk through here. Sometimes its just a hint of something that is...

Vaccine Passport Exemptions 23.08.2021 31:37
In this episode, we discuss the medical exemptions you can self declare in order to attend venues or events that insist on (or by law are mandated to use) the UK Covid Pass. Is there a window of opportunity now where we can avoid both testing and vaccines in order to go about our daily... The post Vaccine Passport Exemptions appeared first on sounding board .
Jack Dorsey Surprises And Anarchism Sells 17.08.2021 32:29
In this edition, Andrew drops some white pills starting with Twitter’s founder Jack Dorsey tweeting out a complete surprise. Is Jack a secret libertarian? Does this mean he’s not really in control of twitter policy or that it could change in the future for the better? We also talk about Michael Malice’s recently released book...

12 Months From Now 13.08.2021 1:21:32
In this episode, we tackle a question from one of the members of our Telegram channel, which you can find at t.me/soundingboard. We were asked what we thought Britain, and the world, would be like a year from now. We begin by reminiscing what it was like twelve months ago and how far things have...

Do People Really Understand Fascism? 06.08.2021 39:43
Everyone is taught, quite rightly, that Fascism is bad. But do they really know what it is, other than to name the atrocities of WW2 and the Holocaust? We look at the differences in how the education system and the media have protrayed both Fascism and Communism in the past, and whether there really is...

The What’s Worse Game: Dad Edition 29.07.2021 33:36
After listening to the first What’s Worse Game, our Dad couldn’t resist getting in on the action, and so came up with a new list of competing horrors for Nic to challenge Andrew with. The aim of the game is to pick the worst of the two options – not the least worst – and... The post The What’s Worse Game: Dad Edition appeared first on sounding board .
The Amazing Life Of John McAfee 21.07.2021 48:37
This week, Andrew tells the story of John McAfee. From his early life as a computer programmer at NASA in the 60s to his exploits on the run from the US government for alleged tax evasion, John was always a legend. We hope you enjoy hearing a little more about his fascinating life. How to... The post The Amazing Life Of John McAfee appeared first on sounding board .
Should We Really Privatise Viruses? 09.07.2021 36:49
Nukes are normally one of those areas that even so-called libertarians equivocate on. Do you really want those in the hands of private individuals or corporations? Surely the state is a safe pair of hands and nuclear power and atomic weapons need to be heavily regulated? Right? Well we’ve discussed this topic before (supermarket nukes),...

Bonus content: The Real And Proper Mummy 08.07.2021 3:17
A short bonus episode that we hope you’ll enjoy where Nic, initially not realising Andrew had started recording, describes the joy he experienced gaslighting his young children. Did they really think he was their mother? Photo by Avi Agarwal on Unsplash Please visit our website to download or stream all our previous episodes and to...

The What’s Worse Game 02.07.2021 45:08
After a brief hiatus while Nic recovered from surgery, we’re back with a new game of Andrew’s devising. The What’s Worse Game. In this new game, Andrew gives Nic two deliberately awful options and asks him to say which one is worse. Sometimes personal, often extreme, Nic reacts to each and tries to justify why...

The Science 06.06.2021 58:15
When people say they are following The Science(tm) do they really mean they are following orders? How do you row back from additional interventions when they aren’t based on anything at all, let alone The Science(tm) or The Orders? We discuss stupid examples of interventions, whether its schools or supermarkets, and how if the scaremongering... The post The Science appeared first on sounding board...
How To Stop Wearing A Mask 29.05.2021 33:14
This week begins with Andrew offering some advice on the easiest places to forgo masks. We then talk about PCR tests as Nic has just had to have one in order to have a minor medical procedure. Are these tests as accurate as the government is stating? And why don’t they quarantine testers as soon... The post How To Stop Wearing A Mask appeared first on sounding board .
Testosterone Passports and Eating Meat 18.05.2021 36:08
This week, Andrew did a rare thing. He wrote a blog post. Inspired by the recent talk of Covid Passports, he wondered if this new technology could be used for something else. Something good. The final idea? Testosterone Passports! Nic and Andrew discuss this completely serious and not at all funny idea in full. They...

Will you tolerate totalitarianism next time? 11.05.2021 36:29
You might agree with all the steps the government has taken in the last year. But what will you do the next time they give themselves this power over your life? Pandora’s box has been opened. They will use these powers again against us. So how you will judge the next time? What will your... The post Will you tolerate totalitarianism next time? appeared first on sounding board .
Laughing At Politicians – The Best Political Humour 04.05.2021 30:35
This week, Andrew starts with an analogy. Anti-fascists maintain that if you’re not a communist, you’re on a slippery slope to fascism. He asks whether this means that if you’re not obese, you’re on a slippery slope to anorexia. Is that analogy any more ridiculous? And does is stand up to Elliott’s Law? Andrew and...

Do libertarians need encouragement? 28.04.2021 43:10
On this, our 100th podcast, we talk about whether its a trait of those who love freedom to have the confidence to be a self starter, and just get on with things. Do you need encouragement or praise, or do you employ critical thinking and rational self-interest in order to know you’re doing the right...

The Fall Of Nicolae Ceausescu 19.04.2021 36:13
In this episode, Andrew tells the story of Nicolae Ceausescu. Something he’s wanted to do since Christmas 2019, the thirty year anniversary of his execution. From a troubled upbringing including multiple teenage arrests to his blackly comic last stand in Bucharest, Andrew tries to illustrate just how evil, and insane, he really was. This podcast...

What Colour Pill Have You Taken? 13.04.2021 47:51
Can naming your children really make a difference? Nic certainly seems to think so as he explains to Andrew why he thinks his immediate family must undoubtedly be the solution to the world’s problems and why he’s now a little more white pilled. We then discuss what it means to be red, blue, white or... The post What Colour Pill Have You Taken? appeared first on sounding board .
Inject or infect? 07.04.2021 1:03:15
Andrew revists a libertarian thought experiment and applies it to virus infections & government jabs to see whether the state is once again guilty of cakeism. Surely we can apply the same rules to both injections and infections? And Nic decides to find out what the UK medicines regulator means when it says the Covid...
