The Feens spend the first day of Memorial Day weekend (which is also Michael’s birthday!) wondering out loud on radio why so many people who call themselves “patriots” and “good Americans”, but hate Obama, love to agree with Obama on the worst of the worst of his policies, and how loving those bad polities will eventually lead to them being used on those same patriots and good Americans. The Feens also discuss the difference between sound conditioning and sound proofing, Adam Kokesh doing the POW thing in an illegal and immoral court where he was arrested for nothing, ladies with Glocks, moral self-defense, property rights as the only real law, and libertarian re-education camps.

Michael W. Dean does initial tests of his new birthday mic, the venerated holy grail of broadcasting, the Electro-Voice RE-20 Microphone (get it HERE new for $449 with free shipping). Dig the wonderful meaty-yet-flat pro-izzle sound! Creamy retro 60s charm! Whee!

This mic gives a lot of freedom of movement. With my old Shure Beta 57a mic, I had to be right up on it to sound great. The sweet spot was the size of a plumb. That ended up making my back and neck tense doing a long live show. With the RE-20, the sweet spot is the size of a basketball. I can move all over and sound great. Will extend my life span! (Good for us cranky, creaky old guys. I turn 49 this week.) You can also talk more naturally with an RE-20, it doesn’t require conscious or subconscious “mic technique” that other mics require to sound really good.

I skipped the fancy accessories, like the expensive RE-20 specific shock mount ($125) and the RE-20 specific pop filter. A standard condenser mic shock mount and boom arm works fine. And while this mic, more than most, will work fine without a windscreen, a standard cheap foam windscreen stretched over the end makes it sound even better. No need to get the dorky little RE-20 specific pop filter.

Used correctly and with a good pre-amp, the RE-20 is a sword of truth cutting through the murky swamp of media lies and statist COINTELPRO sheeple-bleeting horizontal enforcement of injustice.

They are also built like a tank. The RE-20 comes with a 3-year factory warranty. What else in the WORLD comes with a 3-year factory warranty these days?????

Available in any color you like, as long as it’s green. To be more specific: somewhere between Vietnam-era US military camouflage green and old-school hospital room green.

Mic was used with a foam windscreen, audio was recorded through Pre-Sonus compressor/pre-amp with a Behringer XENYX X2442USB Premium 24-Input 4/2-Bus Mixer, then normalized in SoundForge.

Worms!!!!!! RADIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

–Michael W. Dean, Freedom Feens radio show, syndicated on Genesis Communications Network.

Turn your cash into liberty!

The Feens chew on some worm thoughts and cysts and talk about why you should read more than the headline, statist billboards, State Electricians, as contrasted with non-state engineers making printable guns better than the first ones, and 3D printed food made from bugs, and of course, Biafra.

Political activist Adam Kokesh got arrested, and no one can seem to find him. Should you believe there is a conspiracy behind this, or is the simplest explanation the best one in this case? And in a larger sense, are most scary things planned by secret cabals, or do those corrupt entities in power just not like to let a crisis go to waste?

Also, can fried chicken bring peace to the Middle East?

Freedom Feens – Glow worms in the darkness of tyranny i.e. Michael W. Dean and Neema Vedadi, talk on live RADIOOOOOOO about being anti-war and pro-gun, “who would Jesus bomb?”, using the “report this” Facebook button for gub officials, New York State offers LITERALLY 30 pieces of silver to turn in your neighbor, Soviet mental hospitals coming to America, how Obama is like the roommate who steals your weed and then helps you look for it, alternative currencies, how smuggling IS the free market, a call from a greenbacker, T2, Miles Dyson, why central planning is evil and ineffective, the problem with most futurists, why smart scientists can be really dumb, how statism is square, and why the Zeitgeist movement is wrong.

The Freedom Feens stick out their tongues at anything even resembling authority. They also talk about fun stuff like Michael’s verbal duel with a progressive, Robin Hooding in Keene, the future of printable guns, radio, free speech, cats, and the connection between liberty and  bow-ties.

Libertarian Michael W. Dean of the Freedom Feens talk radio show does an interview on the drive-time Morning Show with Hal Ginsberg on 10,000-watt AM progressive talk station KRXA in Santa Cruz/Monterey California. (Coverage area map of the station.) Topics include gun control, unions, taxing the rich, and just generally being “a little more progressive.”

This interview was the Feens equivalent of Alex Jones on Piers Morgan. lol.

Turn your cash into liberty!

The Feens ethically push the bounds of Free Speech. on RADIOOOOOOOOOOOO! Topics include: the problem with banning, why T2 is the best movie ever, why statists are square, and Adam Kokesh’s armed rally coming up in DC – and why the Feens won’t be there.

Turn your cash into liberty!

The Feens Episode 210 is Episode ONE on RADIOOOOOOOOOOOO! It goes well. During the show, all around America the old talk show hosts get on the phone with each other in a big conference call about whether to retire, or to have the Feens droned. WORMS!

Guests include Ben Stone the Bad Quaker, and Cody Wilson – the printable gun guy.

Turn your cash into liberty!

The Feens exercise their First- and Second-Amendment rights and yack about radio, guns, Adam Kokesh, kitty cats, rock and roll, 3D printed guns, and Bernie in Sussex’s cool photography site.

The Feens give a stellar send-off to the farm team of LRN before embarking up to the majors of radio syndication on GCN. (Of course, you can still listen on LRN on Sundays AND Saturdays now, at noon-2 PM Central time every weekend!, as well on selected radio stations around the country.) The Feens talk about Stasi-style systems set up to turn in your neighbors for thought crime, Cody Wilson’s fully printable gun, kid arrested for rap lyrics on Facebook, I GOTS ME SOME “FIX MY FACE” MONEY, BITCHES!, the great movie Fail Safe, MWD’s nightmare that George Soros bought Northern California, distressed-guitar posers, and how Rory Gallagher of Ghost Blues he’s on a stamp in Ireland, he sucks on guitar.

Michael W. Dean and Neema Vedadi talk about the disconnect of how armed-and-violent police consider armed-and-peaceful citizens to automatically be “armed and violent.” The Feens discuss Neema’s day in traffic court (the first in a new series), a great review of the Feens, a statist’s bad review of the Feens, the Feens countdown to radio, the Feens on Talkers.com – “The Bible of Talk Radio”, kitties, the fame-for-being-famous Angelyne, pay toilets in LibPar, and “The Sorry State of Radio Station Websites”, article on GCN by Michael W. Dean.

The Feens talk about Neanderthals and language and the start of the State, why we’d be safer without police, how Jimmy Carter aided terrorists, the very cool BBC comedy called Saxondale, the mockcumentary from Belgium called Man Bites Dog, and how in nanny states where you can’t have a gun – not only they want you to die – they want you to be totally dependent on the state to have a chance to live.

Michael W. Dean and Neema Vedadi talk about how old punkers never die, they just turn into your dad. The Feens wonder why all the rebels who taught Michael to distrust the government are now shills for the State….People like Jello Biafra (above, shirtless), Henry Rollins, Ted Nugent, Michael Graves of the Misfits, and more. Sheesh. Put a shirt on and read some Mises! Then they talk about G. Gordon Liddy, Dick Nixon, the FBI, the CIA, Bill O’Reilly, Lupe Fiasco, Doug Stanhope, Tim Leary, LSD, LDS, Colon, Nebraska, and the anti-Feens hater page.

Turn your cash into liberty!

Michael W. Dean and Neema Vedadi talk about how New World Vultures is a great analogy for the State, how kink and BDSM are NOT good analogies for the State, how to deal with know-it-all anarchists who are right about the State but very WRONG about other things and STILL think they’re right, and even more BOX-FRESH PODBEEF!

The Freedom Feens talk about how TV hypnotizes your limbic system 24/7 and scares you into compliance. They also cover the Hitchcock film North by Northwest, US FedGoons violating laws in Boston, property rights are just an easement, people who thought Chechnya is Czechoslovakia, and the evils of collectivism.

The Feens discuss radio, the occupying army in Boston, will the gub’mint say that the alleged bombers used BitCoin?, Michael Collins, and the hypocrisy of all voters.

…and the only beautiful constant in life is cats! Michael W. Dean and Neema Vedadi do their fourth-to-the-last Thursday live streaming show about the difference between the species of humans who believe in no aggression (Homo Sapiens Feenus), and the sub-species (Homo Sapiens Parasitis) who think that it’s moral and correct to outsource your violence to the State.

The Feens have an uncontrollable urge for freedom, and so does the deer in this photo (taken by DJ):

The Freedom Feens celebrate their 200th episode by ignoring that it’s tax day (after paying their taxes) and yack about hypocrite Senator Joe Manchin and how his mental health bullcrap is going to take away your guns and put lots of people (not just gun owners) on the “can’t take care of themselves” mental crazy list, and how our Guns and Weed movie swayed a 2A guy.

Neema returns from the stateless statism of a Caribbean cruise, and describes Mexico as a possible LibPar. Then the Feens talk about comedy and death, Bill Burr’s wonderful observations about the mute button that is the State, the Wyoming Vapor Company as an example of the (free) market, antelope and sagebrush, The World According To Dick Cheney, how 4/5 of the progressive talk stations from five years ago are now Tejano or sports, and Making a Franken-Beta Mic for Talk Radio.

Michael W. Dean and Ben Stone of the Bad Quaker Podcast (filling in for Neema Vedadi) talk about why people want to punish people who did nothing to them (or to anyone), Banker’s Heart, Joe Manchin is the biggest hypocrite in politics (and that’s saying a LOT!), why the State will fail like the music industry failed, Michael’s path to liberty, and how recovering statists can help statists.

Michael W. Dean interviews his long-time in-person friend MikeMakesRight. Mike and Michael used to be neighbors, used to play in a band, and were important to each other in their development as non-statists and as all-around groovy human beings. Mike talks about libertarian weight lifting, why being religious about the Paleo Diet is silly, why all the libertarian and AnCap pundits aren’t in shape and should get in shape, recover from drugs and statism, the different between bow-tie academic libertarianism and krokodil-and-tranny-hooker street libertarianism, blood vengeance and dancing on the head of a pin, the Is–ought problem, why there may be no such thing as “rights”, Paul Bonneau, how the roads would work without a government, why people keep being statist; robot cars and how technology could save liberty if Richard Stallman would just get out of the way; and the care and feeding of, and the walking of, your cat.

Recorded on April 1, by the time you hear this on April 8, Neema will be in international waters, stealing time from the Feens, while Michael toils away calling radio stations. (Unless you are part of our torrent club, then you already got this episode on April 2, because you’re smart and cool!).

The Feens talk about the two sponsors of that “Texas will rape you” poster, no cats allowed, the future of radio, Michael editing every piece of media he consumes and doing director’s commentary on films he did not direct, nanny state business incubators, Opus codec, the problem with Paleoconservatives and Paleolibertarians, the dirty evil minority called The Moral Majority, why it’s square to brag that you’re “law abiding”, gay marriage, The State, and dying print newspapers trying to be relevant by covering Facebook beefs.

Turn your cash into liberty!

Neema’s on a boat, so Ben Stone from the Bad Quaker podcast fills in quite aptly. They talk about how roads would get built without the government, and discuss Feens mics on eBay, impending new Ben audio gear. Ben tells what it’s like to get shot (he’s been shot twice), why the 10 most expensive cities in America are the 10 places where it’s the most illegal to carry a gun, and finally, the four rules of  gun safety (and how the NRA gets it wrong).

Thanks Crazy Rich for the Feens Meme!

Turn your cash into liberty!

Michael and Neema have a laid-back yet feisty discussion of the libertarian (and statist) ramifications of Breaking Bad, SVU, Eric Holder, Alvin Toffler, Hot Topic, cats, Bauhaus architecture, atonal music, pornographic photography, and Lew Rockwell. They talk about how The Freedom Feens are going to be the Henry Ford of liberty, and how the government wants to shame you into not liking guns, as if that will work. Then the Feens simulate what sheeple think it sounds like inside our brains by doing a “jazz on jazz” mix of Alex Jones and the Feens at the same time. Whee!
