Rebuilding the Libertarian Party: Wes Benedict on His Run for LNC Chair

Tuesday Feb 03, 2026

In this timely and candid interview, we sit down with Wes Benedict — longtime libertarian organizer, former Executive Director of the Libertarian National Committee, founder of the Libertarian Booster PAC, and a proven voice for effective, no-nonsense libertarian activism — as he campaigns to become the next Chair of the LNC.

With the Libertarian Party at a pivotal moment, Wes shares his vision for revitalizing the organization: boosting fundraising, supporting more viable candidates, increasing ballot access and local wins, pushing back against government overreach, and making the LP a serious force for liberty rather than a protest vote or fringe player.

Drawing from his decades of experience — including leading national operations, compiling real-world candidate performance data, training activists, and running for office himself — Wes discusses the challenges facing the party, his plans to unify factions around practical results, and why he's the candidate best positioned to deliver tangible growth and impact.

Whether you're a longtime LP member, a disillusioned voter tired of the two-party duopoly, or someone exploring libertarian ideas for the first time, this conversation offers an insider's look at the future of America's third-largest political party and the fight to expand freedom in 2026 and beyond.

Pioneering the Oceanic Frontier: Inside ArkPad's Reef Resort and Beyond with Mitchell Suchner

Saturday Jan 31, 2026

Join us for an exciting deep dive into the future of human settlement on the high seas with Mitchell Suchner, Founder and CEO of ArkPad — the company leading the charge in practical seasteading and ocean innovation.

ArkPad is dedicated to bringing life to the ocean through groundbreaking floating structures and sustainable marine technologies. Their flagship project, the Reef Resort, is already operational offshore near Davao in the Philippines, serving as the country's first floating resort. Hundreds of guests have experienced its immersive, dynamic environment — a fully integrated aquatic ecosystem offering stunning 360-degree ocean views, sustainable living features, and a unique alternative to traditional beach vacations.

In this interview, Mitchell provides an exclusive inside look at ArkPad's current achievements and ambitious roadmap. Hear about the Reef Resort's real-world success, the upcoming addition of two Arkpad-D houses engineered to withstand 6-7 meter waves, and cutting-edge initiatives like ocean water mining (harvesting elements such as lithium and magnesium from seawater), ground effect drones for efficient long-range cargo, and modular underwater drones for exploration, maintenance, and aquaculture.

While seasteading often remains theoretical, ArkPad stands out as one of the furthest-along projects in turning vision into reality — opening the world's oceanic frontier to freedom-loving individuals through innovative, accessible floating habitats.

Whether you're passionate about liberty, sustainable innovation, marine tech, or building new societies beyond land borders, this conversation reveals the practical steps, challenges, and breakthroughs shaping humanity's expansion onto the seas.

From Healthcare Innovation to Education Leadership: A conversation with Dr. Nelva Lee

Thursday Jan 15, 2026

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Nelva Lee, founder and former CEO of the Medical Interpreting and Translating Institute Online (MiTio), where she trained thousands in bridging language gaps in healthcare and legal settings. Appointed by Governor Brian Kemp to Georgia’s Board of Community Health, Dr. Lee has witnessed firsthand how state policies directly impact access to quality care and educational opportunities.

As a Republican candidate for Georgia State Superintendent of Schools, she brings fresh insights into education reform, championing school choice, charter schools, and empowering families to reclaim their rights in the system. In this episode, we explore the powerful intersection of individualism, community leadership, and public policy—how decisions made in boardrooms and statehouses shape personal freedoms, healthcare equity, and the future of education for Georgia families and beyond.

If you care about honest dialogue on liberty, opportunity, and real-world reform, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.

Deprogramming Democrats: a discussion with Lisa Ekman

Sunday Dec 21, 2025

For two decades, Lisa Ekman was a committed Democratic advocate and lobbyist in Washington, D.C., passionately advancing the party’s agenda. Then the COVID-19 pandemic shattered her illusions. What she once saw as principled loyalty revealed itself as blind devotion to a movement she now believes was steering America toward authoritarian control. In this podcast, Lisa shares her awakening, her insider perspective, and her unfiltered take on politics, power, and the slippery slope to tyranny.

Join us for a discussion with Lisa about her book, "Deprogramming Democrats & unEducating the Elites" https://deprogrammingdemocrats.com/
