Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing Remso W. Martinez, the host of the Remso Republic podcast, one of the fastest growing libertarian podcasts online. Since 2015 he has been an activist, blogger, and campaign consultant advocating for freer markets and individual liberty.
ME: What lead you to start your podcast?
REMSO: What we have in conservative and libertarian circles is a commentator complex, by that I mean we have a lot of people yelling the same thing but with no real insight or resume to back themselves up. My time in the political arena regarding activism, blogging, and campaigning gave me an insight into the unsavory world of politics that the media ignores. I was at a position in my life where I had the opportunity to connect to people in a way which would have a real impact on my listeners, from there the rest was history.
ME: What do you see as the most important issues facing Americans today?
REMSO: The largest issue facing the US is school choice. We segregate classes of people based off school district boundary lines, we place ridiculous restrictions on home schooling families, and the federal government looks down on private education and charter schools. The best way to solve the nation's challenges is to unlock the potential within the next generation, and school choice and educational freedom is the key.
ME: So you're a punk rocker? Who are some of your favorite bands? What do you listen to?
REMSO: I'm a huge Misfits fan, but Green Day is the soundtrack of my life.
ME: Anything else to add?
