Today’s kind of a big deal over at [Lib​er​tar​i​an​ism​.org](http://www.libertarianism.org).

To start with, the Cato Institute’s resource on the theory and history of liberty unveiled a completely new look, one designed from the ground up to work great on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. And we created a new way to browse all of Libertarianism.org’s content from within [a single, intuitive interface.](http://www.libertarianism.org/explore)

We’ve also launched Libertarianism.org’s first podcast, “Free Thoughts.” Hosted by Trevor Burrus and me, it’s a bi-weekly discussion show about libertarianism and the ideas that influence it. [The first episode](http://www.libertarianism.org/media/free-thoughts-podcast/episode-1-politics-community) is on politics and community and the relationship between them. In the coming weeks, we’ll have episodes on money and political speech, commodication, Robert Nozick’s *Anarchy, State, and Utopia*, and much more. You can subscribe in [iTunes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/free-thoughts/id728393810?mt=2)—or via [RSS](http://feeds.libertarianism.org/FreeThoughtsPodcast).

Finally, today we published the 100th Excursions essay from George H. Smith. Smith is an authority on libertarian intellectual history and author of the new book *[The System of Liberty: Themes in the History of Classical Liberalism](http://store.cato.org/books/system-liberty-themes-history-classical-liberalism-paperback).* Every week for the last two years, Lib​er​tar​i​an​ism​.org has published a new essay from Smith. [His 100th](http://www.libertarianism.org/publications/essays/excursions/other-adam-smith-part-5) looks at Adam Smith, standing armies, and competition in education.

It’s an exciting day for [Lib​er​tar​i​an​ism​.org](http://www.libertarianism.org). And we’ve got much more to come.
