This is the Unregistered Podcast, and I'm Thaddeus Russell.

This is a show about ideas, people, and behaviors that are considered inappropriate, out of bounds, or beyond the pale.

The things you're not supposed to talk about if you're a school teacher, a college professor,

a businessman, a politician, a parent, a neighbor, or even a podcast host. These are the things

you're not supposed to say or even think if you're a good liberal, a good conservative, or a good

citizen. Each week, I'll interview a person who has something bad to say.

They might be a journalist or a professor.

They might be a porn star or a drug dealer.

They might just be an ordinary person with an ordinary job

who doesn't care about the rules of polite society.

I'm not interested in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker.

I'm interested in people who break the rules of conventional thought

and to expand the scope of what is possible to say in our society.

I'm interested in people who make me think.

I have not done an Ask Me Anything episode in quite a while, and I thought I would change the format a bit.

So this time, I will not be the interviewer.

There will be a new interviewer for unregistered.

His name is Landry Harmon.

He's been working with me for many months now,

and he's a brilliant young man, and I think you'll see that he's extremely well-suited

for the job. Landry will be conveying questions that were given to me for this session by members

of the Unregistered Underground, which is the supporting listeners group for the podcast.
