From Disopedia
Ian Freeman hosts the nationally syndicated Free Talk Live [1] radio program from Keene, New Hampshire. He moved to New Hampshire in September of 2006 as part of the Free State Project. While "Free Talk Live" is about anything that a caller wants to talk about, there is often discussion about liberty-oriented issues. People new to the ideas of freedom - even outright statists - call the show trying to prove that freedom won't work or isn't good, but Ian's debate skills and strong foundation in principle and logic always leave the listeners with a new perspective or stronger grasp of the principles of a voluntary world.[2]
Ian was inspired to move to New Hampshire in 2006 by all the groundbreaking civil disobedience performed by superactivists like Russell Kanning and Lauren Canario. His intention was to utilize his international radio show, Free Talk Live, to reach out to like-minded people and invite them to also make the move to NH. Since his move, he personally has performed acts of civil disobedience and noncooperation, because it's the right thing to do as often as possible and to encourage others by setting an example.
As a Quaker, Ian approaches his activism from a position of love and forgiveness to the aggressors, forming the Police Hugging Squad with Sam Dodson as a manifestation of that outlook.
Ian blogs occasionally on CDEvolution.org and more often on FreeKeene.com, which launched in late 2006. Free Keene has become more than just a blog about Keene, and is a destination for video, audio, and community interaction concerning exciting activism around New Hampshire.
The busy Free Keene Forum is also home to the Shire Society - a place where activists are building the future voluntary society, today. To build such a concept will require consistent civil disobedience and noncooperation by people like you who find the courage to stand up and live free. It is to this end that Ian has involved himself as a board member of the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund. He wants to encourage more civil disobedience and noncooperation and when people know they have support, it makes finding courage a whole lot easier.
