#64 Tam Laird the Scottish Libertarian

Tam Laird, leader of the Scottish Libertarians, explores the intersection of politics and personal identity in an engaging podcast aboard Bucephalus moored in Fife. Initially aligned with the Scottish National Party, Laird dissociated himself due to its pro-European stance, finding instead a more fitting ideological home within libertarian principles. Despite his anarchist leanings, he works actively within a minarchist framework, seeking practical reductions in government size and influence. His personal journey reflects a complex relationship with politics, embracing activism not for career motives but as a means to advocate for liberty amid Scotland's shifting political landscape.

#63 Shakedown Voyage

Rory tells Thor about his voyage from Eyemouth to the Forth and how some awesome friends helped him out in some unexpected ways.
