  • Summary

  • This is the Girls Gotta Read Podcast—a podcast that’s not just for girls, but for book nerds, liberty-lovers, and liberty-curious individuals from all walks of life. We’re the girls—Melanie, Isabelle, and Katrina—and each Monday, we’ll delve into a book, discuss its author, and dabble in philosophy. You can treat this as a book club and read along each week—or just as a gateway to the Liberty movement and some of its most influential thinkers. Follow @freedomworks on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram to comment your thoughts and questions—and always keep reading, nerds!

The girls (and Matt) have definitely been thinking hard about our food system recently and, as a result, decided to watch and dig into the classic food documentary Food Inc.
