The Free Mind Podcast explores philosophic and political ideas with adventurous disregard for intellectual trends. Listeners are invited to pull up a chair in an intellectual laboratory where rationally defensible arguments are tested in the spirit of truth-seeking, and made in a conversational style free of academic jargon. The podcast engages scholars and public intellectuals who seek to present a diversity of viewpoints in a venue where good faith is granted at the door, and clear expression of ideas is more important than adherence to any particular ideology.

Roger Pielke Jr. is a Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, who studies the politics of science and authors a popular Substack blog called The Honest Broker. Never one to shy away from controversy, Prof. Pielke has done high-profile research and writing on climate change and natural disasters, the origins of COVID-19, and the inclusion of transgender and intersex women in women’s sports. We discuss the relationship between science and politics and what can go wrong when science is politicized.
