Famous libertarian blogger Lew Rockwell records fantastic podcasts about the economic melt down and other issues. Find them here. I suggest downloading them to your audio players and listening during your commute. It’ll give you a perspective besides the Keynesian propaganda dominating the airwaves.

Dec 23rd: Ron Paul: There is Hope
Dec 21st: Bailout Crimes
