If you like FRANK Talks, we also recommend...

Personal Update

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the kind words of encouragement that you guys have given for my blog. Unfortunately, these past few months, I haven't had as much time to write new blogs and make new content for you guys. I am currently releasing content that I have back-logged. (Except for this post, that you are currently reading.)

If you like what you are reading, and want to see more of it, I would ask you to please consider pledging to my Patreon account. In exchange, you can get access to exclusive member-only content, or you can simply donate with “No Rewards”.

I am currently working three “jobs”. I put that in quotations, because only one of them pays currently. The other is an internship, and then there is this blog which is only paying $8 a month. My goal is to get the Patreon to a point where I can leave my paying job and spend more time researching and writing for FRANK Talks.

In the Meantime

While you are waiting (and hopefully pledging and telling all of your friends to pledge), I thought that I might recommend some substitutes for you to get your FRANK Talks fix, without actually listening to FRANK Talks. I want to recommend some of the YouTube personalities that I listen to (namely in theology and politics) who have helped shaped my worldview. Now, I don't agree with these people all the time, but I trust your discernment in figuring out Truth from error. After all, you guys are presumably adults.

If you have a YouTube account, I would recommend subscribing to these channels, and saving some of these videos to Watch Later. If you don't I would recommend getting an account. If you are not in a rush, check out the videos that I embedded. 

PJTV

This channel has stopped producing videos, but you can still check out their videos, and read their articles at pjmedia.com. My favorite personalities were Andrew Klavan, Bill Whittle, Alfonzo Rachel, and Scott Ott.

Andrew Klavan

This video is my first exposure to Klavan. I often reference my “imaginary dog Virtue”. In my mind, Klavan is the funniest man on the right. Not only is he incredibly funny, but he's a deep thinker, and much smarter than all the popular comedians and political satirists. Truly an under-rated personality. Today you can find him on twitter, Truth Revolt, Daily Wire. Even if you don't have time to watch his whole 'Andrew Klavan Show' podcast, the intro to his show is always a riot.

Bill Whittle

Over the past three years, Bill Whittle has shaped so much of my philosophy. While we may disagree on religion, this guy has a lot of wisdom and has taught me so much. Bill is not only a deep thinker, he is one of the best communicators on the right, clearly laying out the principles of conservatism in interesting ways.

He simply has too many great talks from which to choose. This one, while lengthy, lays out his entire political philosophy, and this one talks about the importance of virtue. They should both sound familiar, if you are reading my blogs. Bill can be found on PJTV and Truth Revolt, but has recently decided to focus on his own channel.

Alfonzo Rachel

Devout Christian, drummer for his rock band, 20 lb Sledge, Zo also dabbles in political commentary. Zo taught me about the history of the Civil War, the Democrat Party, and the importance of conservatism on social issues. You can find him at PJTV, but he has since moved onto his own channel. He also does intriguing theological commentaries, for those that are interested.

Stephen Crowder

I am subscribed to Crowded, as I am to all the channels that I am recommending, but I never have time to watch his full podcast. Instead, I skip through and look for interviews with my favorite guests... which is most of the guests that he has. The gorgeous Lauren Southern, the offensive Gavin McInnes, the open-minded Dave Rubin, and many of my favorites from PJTV. Maybe if you like podcasts, this one is more for you.

Say Goodnight Kevin

Kevin's channel is not overtly political, however he does not shy away from letting his libertarian colors fly. His main audience is Christians, and his business is making fun of the absurdity that is Christian culture. As his Patreon account states, “Say Goodnight Kevin is creating Youtube videos that encourage people to think for themselves!”

PragerU

Prager University is the most popular resource for conservative arguments on the internet. Even if you are a liberal, it is important for you to hear the other side of the argument. Prager University gives short, clear, and convincing arguments, from guest speakers mostly from the conservative side. Their videos are also easy to share from their Facebook.

Inspiring Philosophy

A great resource for philosophy and theology. I first discovered them through an earlier rendition of the above video: showing how the Trinitarian concept is logically coherent. This channel seeks to show that Christianity is a rational philosophy. Their content is heavily derived from Dr William Lane Craig, whom I am also subscribed to. I have some theological disagreements with both sources, but I agree mostly with the topics that they specialize in.

Charisma on Command

Not theological or political, this channel teaches you how to live a better life and be more charismatic. He is really big on self-esteem (which I am not), but I think that his insights are nonetheless interesting and helpful.

Learn Liberty

I have only recently subscribed to this channel, and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of their wealth of videos. Experts from the libertarian, classically liberal, and conservative variety make educational videos on the principles of liberty and free-economics.

Finally, check out the FRANK Talks YouTube channel, and subscribe! These were only a few of the channels I subscribe to, so maybe I'll do this again with more recommendations. Let me know what you think.
