The Free Mind Podcast explores philosophic and political ideas with adventurous disregard for intellectual trends. Listeners are invited to pull up a chair in an intellectual laboratory where rationally defensible arguments are tested in the spirit of truth-seeking, and made in a conversational style free of academic jargon. The podcast engages scholars and public intellectuals who seek to present a diversity of viewpoints in a venue where good faith is granted at the door, and clear expression of ideas is more important than adherence to any particular ideology.

He is well known for designing and facilitating public dialogs throughout Colorado, on some of our toughest issues. In our conversation, Martín helps me talk through a question I have been struggling with: Do moderates need to be more intolerant?
