About this episode
Eric Brakey discusses libertarian activism and political dynamics with Magdalen Rose.
Eric welcomes Free State Project communications director Magdalen Rose to discuss her journey from conservative media into libertarian activism and her move to New Hampshire. They explore how her background in podcasting and political commentary led her to value open dialogue and ultimately connect with the Free State Project’s mission of building a liberty-focused community. The conversation highlights the unique culture of New Hampshire, the role of events like Liberty Forum in attracting new movers, and the importance of making libertarian ideas more accessible through media. They also dive into broader political dynamics, including fractures within the conservative movement, the growing appeal of non-interventionism, and opportunities for libertarian influence.
