In March, Reason's Nick Gillespie talked with one of the great pioneers of podcasting:Dan Carlin, the host of Hardcore History. Carlin's deeply researched and urgently delivered takes on everything from Julius Caesar's wars in Gaul to Imperial Japan's horrific conquest of Asia are downloaded by the millions. Gillespie and Carlin discussed how to understand the moral choices made in the past, how Carlin would update his 2019 book The End Is Always Near in light of COVID-19, and whether we can really learn meaningful lessons from history.

Seit dem 14. Juni ist jeder einzelne Tag in Deutschland eine riesige Party. Ganz Europa ist im EM-Fieber. Allen voran die Fans aus der Oranje. Mehr als 40.000 Niederländer:innen hüpfen derzeit durch Hamburg und Berlin, erst "naar links", dann "naar rechts". Aber nicht nur die Niederlande: Hunderttausende Fußball-Fans aus ganz Europa marschieren dicht an dicht durch Deutschlands Großstädte und feuern ihre Landsleute lautstark an. Sie liegen sich in den Armen, grölen Fan-Gesänge und trinken Bier. Es ist eine Party der Volksverständigung – mit Nebenwirkungen? Corona: RKI meldet leichten Anstieg d...

Viewed in hindsight, the first general election debate of any given presidential cycle can be hilariously off-topic, even directly misleading about how the candidates would govern on issues of national import. In 1988, 14 months before the decadeslong menace of international communism suddenly collapsed, moderator Jim Lehrer kicked off the George H.W. Bush–Michael Dukakis contest with what he described as the "number one domestic issue to a majority of voters"—illegal narcotics. "What is there about these times," the PBS legend needed to know, "that drives or draws so many Americans to use dru...

The Supreme Court will allow federal agencies to resume widespread communication with social media companies for the purposes of suppressing controversial speech. For everyone who was perturbed by the Twitter Files and Facebook Files—which revealed a vast web of government pressure on private actors, called jawboning—this is a regrettable outcome. The case was Murthy v. Missouri—also known as Missouri v. Biden—and involved a group of individuals who were kicked off Facebook and Twitter. They contended that the platforms took such actions at the behest of the federal government. The Court held ...

Former President Donald Trump spoke at the Libertarian Party Convention, asking delegates to vote for him, promising, "I will put a libertarian in my Cabinet!" But Libertarians nominated Chase Oliver instead. Unlike most political candidates, Oliver learned about the world by working regular jobs. "My first job was dishwasher," he tells me. "But then I did every job you could do….I moved into the world of logistics, moving goods from one side of the world to the other, and I got an appreciation for free markets." For my new video, I grill Oliver about what it means to be a libertarian. "Someon...

Jay Bhattacharya is a professor of health policy and economics at Stanford University and a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, which rejected COVID-19 lockdowns in favor of focused protection of older Americans and other high-risk groups. Bhattacharya is now involved in a high-profile lawsuit before the Supreme Court, alleging that the government improperly pressured social media platforms to censor scientific opinions that deviated from official narratives. Reason's Nick Gillespie sat down with him in May at Reason Weekend in Boston. Q: You're originally from India, but you grew u...

You can add the Internal Revenue Service to the ranks of federal agencies conceding that raining taxpayer money on all and sundry to offset the negative effects of pandemic-era closures didn't go as well as intended. Not only was a program meant to offset the cost of paying workers during lockdowns and voluntary social-distancing prone to being gamed, but the "vast majority" of claims submitted to the program show evidence of being fraudulent.

At a hearing held by the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this week, Sen. Mitt Romney (R–Utah) asked why there's "so much energy" around the question of whether the pandemic began in a lab or spilled over from a natural source. "We'll never be 100 percent sure about one or the other," said Romney. "Given that it could have been either, we know what action we need to take to protect from either….One, we should clean up the wet markets. And two, tighten the labs." In recent months, the idea that COVID might have origin...
