In this week's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined by two libertarian activists who have been closely connected to Latin American to bring their perspective on the liberty movement in that region: Maria Alejandra Londono - Director of Movimiento Libertario of Latin America - as well as returning guest Dr. Kyle Varner, who has helped to provide medical aid for refugees from Venezuela in Colombia. They give their perspective on the situation in Venezuela, the disputed legitimacy of Nicholas Maduro's rule, and what they have learned from interacting with Venezuelans. As always, my goal is to provide various perspectives on the issues, particularly those topics that often divide libertarians, and this is no exception. To listen to my other interviews on the situation in Venezuela, check out the full show notes over at LionsOfLiberty.com/422.

In this very special, completely off the rails episode of the flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined for a special episode 420 edition of "Libertarians in Living Rooms Drinking Liquor", as he's joined by Car and Bird from the Friends Against Government podcast, as well as our resident rambler, Howie! This proves to be a recipe for...well, hopefully a beautiful disaster of sorts.  If you tune into this show for the deep dives into libertarian philosophy, this might not be the episode for you...BUT if you tune in for the nonsense and hijinx, well look no further because you have found your nirvana.  After the gang settles in and gets through a few of Howie's drunken, rambling tales, they cap things off with a brand new game show: "Serial Killer, Politician, Superhero or Singer?"
