Microphone Monkeys
Microphone Monkeys is what happens when three microphones are left unattended and the producers don’t check the enclosure for sarcasm leaks.
Hosted by Randy Oparowski and Tripp Dettmering, this panel podcast proudly embraces the fact that none of the monkeys claim to have all the answers—just strong opinions, questionable metaphors, and a deep distrust of anything that requires a 400-page bill to explain. From libertarian philosophy and free-market capitalism to a classical, Constitution-as-written perspective, the Monkeys swing through current events with the grace of a three-legged primate on espresso.
Expect lively debate, self-inflicted insults, historical references that may or may not impress your high school civics teacher, and a relentless belief that voluntary exchange beats government coercion—delivered with enough humor to keep it from sounding like a think tank PowerPoint.
If you’re looking for polished punditry, look elsewhere. If you enjoy smart, irreverent conversation where even the hosts admit they might be wrong (but not that wrong), welcome to Microphone Monkeys—where free minds, free markets, and mildly unhinged commentary all share the same mic. 🎙️🐒
