The new edition of the monthly podcast AFF Radio is now up for your listening pleasure. This month, I got to try my hand at hosting. It was fun, and I hope you’ll have a listen. The show’s panelists are Tim Carney, author of the forthcoming book, The Big Ripoff: How Big Business and Big Government Steal Your Money; attorney and columnist James Markels; Brendan Conway of the Washington Times editorial board; writer Mollie Ziegler; and Julian Sanchez, associate editor of Reason magazine. Topics covered in the podcast include:

How to advance your career without forsaking your ethics. Several political writers have been accused recently of accepting undisclosed payments from lobbyist Jack Abramoff for their political journalism. Panelists discuss the boundaries of ethical behavior and how to prevent such scandals in the future.
Is torture an acceptable tool in the war on terrorism?
Reconciling the ambitious Bush foreign policy with the people’s desire for an all-volunteer military and low military casualties.
Mollie Ziegler and Julian Sanchez debate protecting Christmas from secular commercialism and protecting secular commerce from religion.
The “Outrage of the Month” feature, in which panelists describe the recent political happening they have found most contemptible.
