Ian Bernard
From Free Talk Live
Born and raised in Sarasota, FL, Ian Bernard has been working in radio since he was 17. Starting as a lowly intern, and 5 years later a talk show host, Ian has seen the seedy underbelly of the radio industry. Finally separated from his initial employer, now sort of a radio free agent, Ian has brought the unique show that is Free Talk Live worldwide via syndication and the Internet! Ian is the main voice on the show, runs the board, and is the webmaster.
In contrast to Mark, who espouses more minarchist libertarian views, Ian is a self-proclaimed "free marketeer", or anarcho-capitalist. Ian prides himself on taking the principled (consistent) libertarian stance on any issue and is often critical of the Libertarian Party.

Personal Life
Ian has recently broken off an engagement to pursue an open relationship with a new lady, Julia. He has also had a vasectomy. In junior high, he was in his school's Rush Limbaugh fan club, which he looks back on and laughs at, being the principled Anarcho-Capitalist Libertarian he is today.
Ian Is also a Wesley Willis fan.
Ian is a self-described hermit. He spends the vast majority of each day doing FTL-related things such as gathering show preparation and answering emails. Most of all, he calls radio stations to spread Free Talk Live.
Ian and his co-host Mark have recently relocated to Keene, New Hampshire as a part of the Free State Project, specifically their "First 1000 Pledge." Upon arriving to his new home in New Hampshire, he discovered that one of his ex-tenants left his new home in terrible condition. Within the mess, Ian found some interesting surprises.
