About this listen

 The Fountainhead Forum is a show dedicated to discussing many important topics that are key to living a great life. This includes libertarian politics, the values of the Enlightenment, and self-improvement. I may not endorse or agree with every guest on the Forum. However, I do attempt to bring on people who are sincerely looking for understanding and knowledge. This may include guests whose values seem to be polar opposites on the outside, but are very much alike on the inside. The ideas and opinions expressed by guests appearing on the Fountainhead Forum do not necessarily reflect the ideas and opinions of Chris Baker or any other hosts of the Fountainhead Forum. The Fountainhead Forum is for entertainment purposes only. It is not legal advice, financial advice, or tax advice.© 2026 Chris Baker Political Science Politics & Government
