S3 Episode 4: Licensed to kill competition
O tym podcaście
Fun Police is an original podcast series produced by the Consumer Choice Center. We take a look at the perpetrators of neo-prohibitionism, the movement that attempts to ban "vices" such as vaping, smoking, drinking, gambling, and others. We host high-level guests to discuss the history and current expression of prohibitionism.
Written and produced by Bill Wirtz.
New episodes dropping week by week, starting March 5, 2025.
