Mean Age Daydream
Hate life with a positive outlook! Brian McWilliams brings unfiltered comedy, criticism and cultural commentary every Wednesday with Mean Age Daydream. Brian McWilliams, co-Founder of one of the longest running libertarian podcast networks in Lions of Liberty, and host of “Mean Age Daydream,” applies his depth of experience as a libertarian thought leader with his talents as a writer and thinker to create Freedom Futurism. Essentially, breaking down what the promise of more freedom actually means and how it could be applied to society. This is the failure of libertarianism: the lack of inspiration to a better tomorrow. Brian is dreaming up the brightest promise of a free future, to win people by inspiration and belief, not fear and resentment.
As a former (and sometimes current) standup comedian, Brian also brings a heavy dose of humor to every interview, whether discussing Freedom Futurism or breaking down current events. As opposed to many that embody the dry libertarian stereotype, Brian is quick, hilarious and some may even say… personable.
