Hey, everybody, Tom Woods here talking about science fiction today with our old friend Brad Bursar.

Talking about science fiction, libertarian themes in it, all kinds of

interesting stuff because Brad created a course on exactly this topic for Liberty Classroom.com,

which is my, I guess, sort of adult enrichment site. It's a site for people who feel like

they're victims of what I call educational

malpractice, shall we say, and you didn't get the full truth of pretty much anything in your

formal education. Well, you can remedy that at libertyclassroom.com in courses you can listen to on

the go. We've just created a mobile app for Liberty Classroom, but if you're a member,

you already know that,

because of course you're opening the emails we send, right? So Brad is one of our faculty members,

and he just created this course, and it's great, and I wanted to talk to him about some of the

themes related to science fiction and liberty. So I'm going to do that today. Brad, as you may

recall, is a professor of history and holds

the Russell Kirk Chair in American Studies at Hillsdale College. He's the author of numerous books,

including most recently Russell Kirk American Conservative, an award-winning book. He is the co-founder

of The Imaginative Conservative.org, where you can read a lot of his writing.
