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 monthly around the first weekend of each month (usually a Friday). You can send comments and suggestions to spartan.spirit@yahoo.com or look for Spartan Spirit on Facebook and pm me.
Those looking for Seasons 1 and 2 - well, they were deleted by my provide (because I paused the show for a year). I will eventually relist them.
