Paleoconservative, Traditionalist and Paleolibertarian
Mises Media (mises.org)
Untold hours of lectures, audiobooks, and interviews. Separate feeds available for individual speakers, e.g. Woods, Gottfried, Rothbard, Murphy, and more. Find additional video on the YouTube and Google Video channels.
The Lew Rockwell Show (lewrockwell.com)
Radio Derb (NRO’s John Derbyshire)
Antiwar Radio (antiwar.com)
Foreign policy commentary from emphatic non-neocons.
Taki’s Magazine
Still no apparent podcast feed, and RSS feeds seem to be broken. But all podcasts can now be found on a main page. Also, the Southern Avenger’s videos are now collected on their own Taki TV page.
TacTalk (The American Conservative)
Will there ever be a second episode?
Independent Institute Events
No podcast feed, but streaming and downloadable audio and video are offered from their Web site. I couldn’t decide whether to file this under Beltway Libertarians or Paleolibertarian so I put it under both.
Intercollegiate Studies Institute
No podcast feed, but lots of MP3s and video of lectures from ISI-affiliated scholars.
Shock to the System (Thomas Woods)
This show ran for 18 episodes before Woods apparently abandoned it, but the feed is still up and it’s worth going through the archive. Update: It’s apparently been taken down. I have them saved, so shoot me an e-mail if you’re interested in hearing these.
Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy
Anti-AIPAC.
The Online Library of Liberty (Liberty Fund)
Audio resources include two series: the Intellectual Portrait Series, which features interviews with the likes of Jacques Barzun, James Buchanan, and Israel Kirzner; and The Legacy of Friedrich von Hayek, which contains lectures from various scholars. Audio available for download as MP3, but alas, no podcast feeds.
Liberty Fund also offers many titles for download as audiobooks — not read by humans, but in a computer-generated voice.
