Show Summary: Blast Off! with Johnny Rocket welcomes the coolest libertarian podcasters (Lions of Liberty) you know to toss back some adult beverages and bullshit about all sorts of liberty and non-liberty related topics, including the question “If our shows were ’80’s sitcoms, which would be Perfect Stranger and which would be Family Matters?”, the difference between flying and hovering, and….ok, maybe not so much about liberty but hey, it’s Thanksgiving! The Blast Off! crew then gets a taste of their own medicine, as Johnny and Raylene undergo the mind-numbing questions thrown at them in “The Cat’s Cradle!”
About The Guest(s): The Lions of Liberty podcast has become one of the leading liberty-oriented political podcasts over the course of the last nearly FIVE years. The show has featured compelling interviews with some of the top names in the liberty movement such as Ron Paul, Tom Woods, Lew Rockwell, Jesse Ventura, Julie Borowski and many more, along with laid-back roundtable discussions about relevant liberty topics. In addition to the flagship "Lions of Liberty" podcast, listeners can now also hear "Electric LibertyLand" - a weekly shot of comedy, culture and liberty, hosted by Brian McWilliams - and continue to hear the weekly "Felony Friday", John Odermatt's look at the broken criminal justice system.
