What is the best audio introduction to liberty?

[FTL_Ian]

Hey all - I know the Liberty Radio Underground is a good choice (though his MP3s are offline) - what else would you recommend as a good audio introduction to liberty?

If you suggest a podcast, please be specific with episodes.

Thanks!

Long before I heard _The Market for Liberty_ and _Complete Liberty_, I was listening to Mises University and the other Mises Institute seminars.

Who can beat Roderick Long's Mises University 2004 "informal" talk, "Answers to 10 objections to anarchy"?

For some reason, I liked Rothbard's Libertarian Manifesto more than The Market for Liberty.    I think my favorite starter would be Robert LeFavre's LeFavre Commentaries.

They used to be numbered--you probably want to try ordering them by the order of the number at the end of the link.  Here is the list of titles in the seemingly-correct chronological order I got them in:

Communication About Freedom
Yes, You Do Have a Philosophy
How Do You Know for Sure?
Emotion and Motivation
Sacrifice and Molestation
Obligation and Responsibility
A Definition of Freedom
Human Rights
Property and Ownership
Property Classifications
Ownership
Collective Ownership
Who Owns What?
How We Become Owners
How We Produce What We Need
Putting the Pieces Together
What is Wealth?
Wealth and Politics
What is Money? (pt 1)
What is Money? (pt 2)
What is Banking?
Gold and Banking
Fears of a Free Market
The Fear of High Prices
The Fear of Monopoly (pt1)
The Fear of Monopoly (pt2)
The Industrial Revolution (pt1)
The Industrial Revolution (pt2)
The Industrial Revolution (pt3)
The Industrial Revolution (pt4)
The Age of Robber Barons
The Great Depression
How to Get What You Want
Economic Revolutions
The Nature of Government
The Source of Government Power
The Beginning of American Independence
The American Revolution
The Declaration of Independence
The Communist Manifesto
Ethics in Collision
Origins of Socialist Thought
The Anarchists
The Communal Socialist
The Communists
The Fascists and Fabians
Revolution
Getting It All Together
Background to the Constitution
The Constitution Revisited
What Others Have Said About Liberty
What is the Right Amount of Government?
Poverty
First Secretary of Agriculture

Great stuff.  Thanks Mises Institute!

On a side note, I just noticed they got a boatload of new stuff! Time to get reading.

This is one of my personal favorites, and it is quite simple and really breaks things down:

Also, Bastiat's "The Law" is a good starter for people who aren't ready to think about a stateless society, but need to be talked out of mercantilism.

Does anyone have Glenn Jacobs' "Liberty Radio University" audio they can post?  His site is down.

Let me know when you're done with these

I tried Audible.com, but their proprietary format alienated me.

I refuse to deal with people who will not let me use my choice of OS, and Audible does not do Linux at all.

See my link above. If someone can get me the AA file I am sure that I could convert it to MP3 which I want also because I use Ubuntu/Ultimate Edition.
