Libertarian Public Access Show

One of our projects is local sponsorship of Hardfire on RCTV. Hardfire is a Brooklyn based public access Libertarian talk show produced by Gary Popkin that runs Wednesdays at 9:30 PM and Saturdays at 5:30 PM. GRLP members from the suburbs are encouraged to sponsor Hardfire on their town public access channels as well.

Unfortunately, Gary has decided to discontinue regularly producing new episodes, so we will stop running Hardfire after the current contract period with RCTV expires. None of the episodes have run in any of the suburban cable systems, so we will start running Hardfire there in the near future.

Hardfire Hosts

There have been numerous hosts over the last few years, but these gentlemen have been the most frequent.
