Shepard the Voluntaryist Interviews Mark

Click here for the video link on YouTube

In this fun cross-over episode, I was interviewed by Shepard the Voluntaryist on his show. Shepard recently appeared on The White Pillbox, and he graciously invited me onto his show. As usual we had a great time in this 2-part interview.

Please check out Shepard’s content:

Shepard's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thestoicvoluntaryist

The Openlyvoluntary.com homepage has an ordered list of reading, viewing and listening material that Shepard recommends to help people come out of their mythology and become critical thinkers.

Stoicvoluntaryist.com is Shepard's mirror site of voluntaryist.com, his late mentor Carl Watner's website, for whom he serves as a trustee.

And check out the book Anarchy Exposed.

We also mentioned the awesome YouTube channel Anarchast in the interview.
