Over the course of decades, Leonard Peikoff has been an invaluable guide to the philosophy of Objectivism—for anyone from a student beginner to an established intellectual.

His lectures, talks, books and essays model rational thinking and objective communication, and his profound insights span across multiple fields—philosophy, history, education, psychology, physics, and more.

Joining us in the event, to ‘toast’ to Dr. Peikoff and discuss his impact on their lives, are:

Carl Barney: Founder of the Prometheus Foundation.

Dr. Andrew Bernstein: Teacher, and author of Heroes, Legends, Champions: Why Heroism Matters and other books.

Dr. Ellen Kenner: Clinical psychologist, co-author of A Selfish Path to Romance, and lecturer.

Kira Peikoff: Author of Mother Knows Best and other books, editor at Leapsmag, and Leonard Peikoff’s daughter.

Lisa VanDamme: Founder and educator at VanDamme Academy.


The Ayn Rand Centre UK Podcast offers a space for deep, challenging conversation. Hosted by the Ayn Rand Centre UK, each episode brings together thinkers and scholars from diverse fields-philosophy, psychology, the sciences, and the arts-to engage in substantive panel discussions and debates. These conversations move beyond superficial headlines to examine the underlying ideas shaping our culture, politics, and personal lives. You’ll hear arguments dissected, concepts clarified, and contemporary issues explored through the lens of reason, individualism, and objective reality. This isn’t about echo chambers; it’s a forum for rigorous intellectual exchange, where guests defend their viewpoints and engage with challenging questions. The podcast serves as an ongoing exploration of how philosophy applies to the real world, from education and social trends to scientific progress and self-improvement. It’s for anyone who believes that ideas matter and who wants to listen to thoughtful, principled discourse in an often unprincipled age. Tune in for a consistently stimulating audit of the ideas driving society forward or holding it back.
