Larry King on Drugs, Cryonics, Airplane Sex Orgies, & Half-Libertarianism

Views: 237
Radio and TV legend Larry King has been broadcasting since the late 1950s. He’s best-known for his long-running CNN Show Larry King Live, which helped define long-form talk TV as he interviewed everyone from actors such as Marlon Brando to presidents such as Bill Clinton.

The 81-year-old King is currently hosting PoliticKing on Ora TV which airs on Hulu, the internet, RT, and other outlets. Guests have included Christian personal finance guru Dave Ramsey, former Clinton Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, socialist independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Young Turks host Cenk Uygur. Last year, King’s show on head trauma in the NFL was nominated for a News and Documentary, the only web-based program so honored.

Nick Gillespie sat down with King at Reason’s DC HQ to talk about how much media has changed during King’s career, why he agrees with half of what libertarians say, why he’s going to be cryogenically preserved if and when he dies, and how he would have interviewed Osama bin Laden.

About 30 minutes. Produced by Todd Krainin. Cameras by Meredith Bragg and Krainin.
