Rescuing Reason
Welcome to Spartan Spirit - Rescuing Reason. This podcast examines critical political and socioeconomic topics affecting Western cultures, particularly Australia, Canada, and the US. The point being to ground-truth the issues and bring reason back to the discussion.
The podcast will do it through a logical, scientific, and most importantly, a Spartan lens, i.e., through a tough-minded view that considers the nation and the planet above the individual.
The podcast will be published on the 1st and 15th of each month. You can send comments and suggestions to spartan.spirit@yahoo.com
