FritzCast

FritzCast is a libertarian interview podcast hosted by Fritz, and its most distinctive material comes from inside the Libertarian Party itself. The host describes it as a podcasting experiment he has kept going since 2015. Interview episodes tend to open the same way: a greeting, the date, a short setup, and then the floor goes to the guest. Guests get room to talk. The New Hampshire episode shows the insider side most clearly. Justin O'Donnell, introduced as a libertarian activist, former candidate and former LNC member, helps the host make sense of a state party where someone went rogue, assets were seized and members were expelled. Their conversation covers how Mises Caucus members and moderates divided the six seats at convention, and the racism accusations thrown at Mises Caucus members trying to get involved. Campaign mechanics are another thread. Anthony Welti, a former candidate from Washington state, lays out a Liberty Tour from Washington to Florida, sharing knowledge, resources and fundraising capability with liberty candidates along the way. That talk moves to medical freedom, framed as an issue that once sat on the fringe and now looks winnable. The guest list reaches past the party. John Ziegler, introduced as a former talk show host, podcaster, senior columnist at Mediaite, filmmaker and documentarian, anchors a conversation that turns hard against the Democratic Party over COVID restrictions. The host later reports plenty of messages disagreeing with Ziegler and calls that totally cool, which says a lot about how much friction the show is willing to carry. With Brad Polumbo, the Capitol siege is set beside the 'fiery but mostly peaceful' framing of protests, and extreme rhetoric from both parties is blamed for creating the environment. The host also refers back to earlier interviews with Libertarian candidates Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen. Solo episodes have a looser energy. In 'The Worst Timing', the host mentions an office move and a banner that needs fixing, talks through a 2020 Kia Soul, a truck on the highway and car prices he calls astronomical, admits he skipped a 4th of July episode, and says he plans to start a blog. The tone is mostly warm and turns grave around elections, lockdowns and political violence. For the party-insider side, start with 'All About LPNH with Justin O'Donnell'; for the wider political arguments, try the John Ziegler and Brad Polumbo episodes.
