This is the Unregistered Podcast, and I'm Thaddeus Russell.

This is a show about ideas, people, and behaviors that are considered inappropriate, out of bounds, or beyond the pale.

The things you're not supposed to talk about if you're a schoolteacher, a college professor, a businessman, a politician, a parent, a neighbor, or even a podcast host. These are the things you're not supposed to say or even think if you're a good liberal, a good conservative, or a good citizen. Each week, I'll interview a person who has something bad to say. They might be a

journalist or a professor. They might be a porn star or a drug dealer. They might just be an ordinary

person with an ordinary job who doesn't care about the rules of polite society. I'm not interested

in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker. I'm interested in people who break the rules of polite society. I'm not interested in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker.

I'm interested in people who break the rules of conventional thought

and to expand the scope of what is possible to say in our society.

I'm interested in people who make me think.

There are very few people who are willing to follow the logic of their own worldview to its

conclusion, especially when that conclusion is less than savory, according to the dominant

standards of our society. Very few people have the courage to say what it ultimately

means to hold a particular political

position, because most political positions, maybe all of them, in fact, have at least one highly

unattractive implication within them. Recently, a prominent journalist was fired for doing just this,

for having the courage to follow through to its end, the logic of a very common idea.

This is my interview with Kevin Williams.

So I feel like I'm visiting someone in exile. I'm in Dallas, Texas, which is a place a nice boy like me shouldn't be in, first of all. And I'm sitting across from maybe one of the worst people in the world. I don't know. I mean, are you...

I was officially a worst person in the world back when Keith Olberman had a show and he used

to do worst person in the world.

Oh, he, and I was worst person in the world one night.

I was very proud of that.
