Acton Institute podcast has a new name: Acton Line
Jul 2, 2026 1:47 PM

Back in 2008, we began producing Radio Free Acton, the official podcast of the Acton Institute. The name, a play on “Radio Free Europe” of the Cold War era, suggested to some that the podcast was a radio program. That name served us well for a decade, but given the rapid pace of change in technology and podcasting, we thought it was time for a refresh more in keeping with today’s audience. Today we’re introducing our podcast’s new name: Acton Line.

Acton Line features the same content, guests and production value you’re accustomed to. Your favorite guests and hosts are still a part of Acton Line, as well as a variety of new guests who will be joining us.

How Corrupt is Your State Government?
Political corruption is the use of legislated powers by government officials for illegitimate private gain. While it isn’t as endemic in the U.S. as it is in some countries (Somalia, North Korea, and Afghanistan being the most corrupt), the problem still exists. According to the Justice Department, in the last two decades more than 20,000 public officials and private individuals were convicted for crimes related to corruption and more than 5,000 are awaiting trial, the overwhelming majority of cases having...
‘Rape Culture:’ Plausible, But Is It True?
The recent Rolling Stone debacle has brought to the forefront of national discussion a very serious issue: does America have a “rape culture” on college campuses? This is an important issue for a couple of reasons. First, no person, male or female, should ever fear or experience sexual assault, especially in a place they feel “at home,” such as a college campus. As a society, we have to do everything we can to make sure sexual assault never happens. This...
United States: Home Of Child Labor?
Children have always worked in our country. On farms, in factories, in family-owned businesses, children have worked and continue to do so. However, we know that children face increased risks for injuries and fatalities in many jobs, and that working often means that children are not in school. In a Minneapolis suburb where a school is under construction, a union boss stops by the non-union work site to check on things. He saw something surprising: a boy, who appeared to...
The Economy of Wisdom: How Knowledge Empowers Service and Stewardship
“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.” –Proverbs 3:13-14 InEpisode 5ofFor the Life of the World: Letters to the Exiles, Evan Koons asksabout the purpose of knowledge, wonderingwhether it’s simply ameans to greater levels of self-fulfillment, or if there’s something more. “Is knowledge just a tool that we use to leverage to get more stuff?” he asks. On the contrary, as he goes on...
The Decline of War and the Rise of ‘Proximate Peace’
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime recently released a report on intentional homicide (see this post for more on that report). Around the world, there were about 475,000 homicide deaths in 2012 and about six million since 2000, making homicide, the report notes, “a more frequent cause of death than all bined in this period.” While the rate of homicides, particularly in the Americas, remains disturbingly high, the fact that they exceed deaths due to war is should...
Why the Ten Commandments Still Matter
Imagine you were tasked with creating rules for a nation or a civilization and could only choose ten. Which would you choose? You’d be hard-pressed to find a better list than the Ten Commandments. As Dennis Prager says, “No Document in world history so changed the world for the better as did the Ten Commandments.” In a new video series, Prager University clarifies what the Ten Commandments means and explains why they are as relevant as ever to our society....
7 Figures: Homicides Around the Globe
Homicide and acts of personal violence kill more people than wars and are the third-leading cause of death among men aged 15 to 44, according to a new report by the United Nations. The Global Study on Homicide 2013 was released last week by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Here are seven figures you should know from the report: 1.

Over at The Gospel Coalition, Hunter Baker reviews Abraham Kuyper’s newly translated Scholarship, pilation of two convocation addresses given to Vrije Universiteit(Free University). He offersa helpful glimpse into Kuyper’s viewson Christian scholarship, as well as howtoday’scolleges and universitiesmightbenefit from heedinghis counsel. mending the bookto both students and university leaders, Baker believes Kuyper’s insights are well worth revisiting, particularly amid today’s “tremendous upheaval in higher education”: All universities, and certainly Christian ones, face a landscape in which students have been largely...
Bitcoin is (Nearly) All Dead
Earlier this year I declared that Bitcoin was (nearly) dead. But as The Princess Bride’s Miracle Max once explained, “There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there’s usually only one thing you can do.” Right now, Bitcoin is only mostly dead. As an investment, it was the worst of 2014. As a currency, it was destroyed by the IRS by a single sentence (“For federal...
