Ep. 75 Against ‘Free Speech’ with Anthony Leaker

Against ‘Free Speech’ with Anthony Leaker


What does it mean to be “against ‘free speech?’”


On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we
speak with Anthony Leaker. Earlier this year he wrote an essay
for Cato Unbound called “Against ‘Free Speech’,” in which he
professes skepticism of the prevailing free speech narrative in
the West and argues that it is often used as a Trojan Horse for
far-right wing and fascist propaganda.


Leaker is a principal lecturer in cultural and critical theory at
the University of Brighton in England.
