    • MK Culture
    • I Hate To Tell Ya

    Jun 13 2025

    To prepare for the upcoming Porcupine Freedom Festival (PorcFest) we feature interviews with new friends we met at last year's PorcFest. Josh Noone is a seasoned festival goer and a musician whose upbringing shaped his freedom-oriented life; Erika Fey the self-styled "Mayor of Hooperville" who found her people at PorcFest; James Cordiner is the founder of The Voluntaryist Academy and host of a podcast by the same name. They share stories and highlights from past festivals as we look forward to this year's highly anticipated 22nd Annual event.

    In this episode we discuss:

    • Libertarianism vs Voluntaryism
    • PorcFest in the times of COVID
    • Highlights from past festivals
    • What sets PorcFest apart from other festivals
    • Putting these principles to action in the real world

    ...and more!
