Returning freedom fighters Andrew and Linda and join Bill and Mark to talk about philosophical liberalism: Its rationales and varieties. Plus, preschool orientation, and Greek gods creating a new world.

Follow Linda @IrisCutter. Her weekly improv show is with the troupe Dumb John. Listen to Andrew’s philosophy podcast, Reductio, which has dwelt further on Rawlsian liberalism, as has Mark on PEL.

The episode image is from the U.S. Department of Defense, which apparently either commissions child art or more likely collects art from the children of military personnel. We honor their service and the service of their fathers by joking about historic military generals, and so do the Washington Generals, who likewise slack not in their struggle against the imperialistic Globetrotters.

However, as a sample, THIS episode includes a short post-game: We talk a bit more about criticisms of liberalism (e.g. by Charles Mills), plug our guests’ shows, and Bill points us at Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.

Mark & Bill are well-matched in being able to so easily articulate the mental processes around their respective pursuits. Whatever sound range both their voices fall within, it's really pleasant on the ears, like listening to two small yet efficient air conditioners placed side by side.
