These unique interviews are conducted by Bob Scully, award-winning media personality and host of The World Show.

The grassroots liberty movement, the rise of freedom, defending free trade, the entrepreneurial university, the shaping of better public policy, and the prospects for freer trade in the wake of Brexit are some of the topics discussed by the featured guests of these new interviews.
