Free State Project

Eric shares a recent appearance alongside Carla Gericke and Jason Sorens on the political game show “Are You Smarter Than a Politician?”, where the conversation turns into a fast-moving debate about liberty, decentralization, surveillance, gun rights, free speech, and the future of America. Blending humor, audience interaction, and political philosophy, the episode explores why New Hampshire has become a focal point for the liberty movement and whether local communities can outcompete centralized power. It’s part debate, part comedy, and part philosophical clash over who should really hold power in modern America.

Eric Brakey sits down with William Kostric, co-founder of The Quill, to talk about the early days of the Free State movement and how one underground liberty clubhouse helped shape a growing network of communities across New Hampshire. William also shares stories from the history of The Quill, including its survival through COVID, the “Save the Quill” effort, and the challenges of building decentralized communities. The episode closes with a preview of PorcFest’s new “Spontaneous Order” format, highlighting events happening across the state and the evolving future of the liberty movement in New Hampshire.
