Description
As a freethinker, are you looking through binoculars out at the world in the safety of a foxhole? Get fuel for your soul and intellectual ammunition by listening to The Secular Foxhole podcast, in order to fight for the separation of religion and state.
Blair chose this name (The Secular Foxhole) to dispute the myth that there are no atheists in foxholes, but also as a place to share ideas and defend Free Speech. The co-hosts both advocate the separation of Church and State, but also Economics and State. In short, Liberalism, Individualism, and Capitalism.

This short episode includes a talk with Substack writer, Stewart Margolis, whose topic, "Where To Find the New Intellectuals," was discussed. We talked about various 'currents' in the culture and how to find them. I brag about a certain achievement I'm proud of, and although I've forgot to mention the rise in Homeschooling, listeners should include that in the great advancements happening without publicity, which is a good thing.Call-to-Action: After you have listened to this episode, add your $0.02 (two cents) to the conversation, by joining (for free) The Secular Foxhole Town Hall.

In our interview with author Brian P. Simpson, we cover these important ideas from his newest book (A Declaration and Constitution for a Free Society: Making the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution Fully Consistent with the Protection of Individual Rights).From Rowman & Littlefield's book page:What are individual rights? What is freedom? How are they related to each other? Why are they so crucial to human life? How do you protect them? These are some of the questions that A Declaration and Constitution for a Free Society answers. The book uses Objectivist philosophy—the philosophy of Ayn Rand—to analyze subjective, intrinsic, and objective theories of rights and show why rights and freedom are objective necessities of human life. This knowledge is then used to make changes to the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution. Through these changes, the book shows the fundamental legal requirements of a free society and why we should create such a society. It demonstrates why a free society is morally, politically, and economically beneficial to human beings.Call-to-Action: After you have listened to this episode, add your $0.02 (two cents) to the conversation, by joining (for free) The Secular Foxhole Town Hall.

Pun Intended. Today we have with us Raymond Niles and Kyle Kirschling, who talk about their unique idea of Substeading. From their website: Imagine if getting to the airport were as easy as riding an elevator, if trains were as clean and comfortable as a limousine, if it took half as long to get anywhere in the city. In this paper, we show how Substeading (underground homesteading) can achieve this within a generation.Call-to-Action: After you have listened to this episode, add your $0.02 (two cents) to the conversation, by joining (for free) The Secular Foxhole Town Hall.

We talk about how the trader principle and the value for value model are linked together. Martin gives step-by-step instructions on how to use new podcasts apps like Fountain, and does a shout-out to fellow podcasters, Kyrin Down & Juan Granados. They had Dave Jones of the Podcasting 2.0 initiative on their show, Mere Mortals. We talk also about art, literature, and music. Ayn Rand's books, Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged, and Rush's album, 2112, are mentioned during the episode.Here are some excerpts from Kevin Osborne's email (April 18):Yes Blair, I thoroughly got a kick out of episode 46 which I finally got to this evening.And thank you both for the Show Notes for my episode 42. It's great what you guys do with them, and the wonderful exposure you give your guests. To me the contribution I sent was a mere pittance considering the value you gave me. By that I mean the wonderful exposure, the ongoing exposure through the show notes, and of course the sheer enjoyment of being on with you two. Yes, what I sent you was nothing by contrast. ...It's easy to say that as your fame grows, so does the potential to request a monetary return for the exposure you provide. Even then it's a tough sell, however, because everyone is so used to getting WWW content for free.Call-to-Action: After you have listened to this episode, add your $0.02 (two cents) to the conversation, by joining (for free) The Secular Foxhole Town Hall.
