The Defiant Citizen is a podcast for ordinary Americans who still believe the republic belongs to them. Drawing from philosophy, the American founding, and the ideas of Publius, each episode explores the principles citizens must understand to preserve a free society. Through philosophical discussions, breakdowns of the Restoration Papers, and real-world analysis of current events, the show challenges listeners to reclaim the spirit of self-government. Because a republic does not survive on institutions alone. It survives when its citizens refuse to become subjects.
