More than two years ago, concerned about the newly resurgent
fascist fringe in America and elsewhere, Daniel Harper, a lefty
podcaster and online writer, started investigating the so-called
'alt-right'.
He's gone where few other researchers have gone, and actually
subjected himself to hours and hours of the many podcasts and
Youtube shows produced by the multifarious people and groups who
make up this pernicious and dangerous subculture. He's
listened, at length, to what they say to each other in their own
spaces. And, having done the listening so you don't have to,
he's back with his reports.
This new podcast series features Daniel in conversation with his
friend and fellow podcaster Jack Graham.
Here's the first episode, on perhaps the best-known representative
of the 'alt-right', Richard Spencer, his career, style, and
ideology. The episode also touches on the origins of the term
'alt-right', the infamous 'heilgate' occurance after Trump's
election, etc.
We're discussing fascism and racism, so this podcast comes with big
warnings.
(This is a re-edit and a re-up.)
The next episode will be on a more old-school fascist, David Duke,
former Klan 'Grand Wizard' who spoke at Charlottesville.
Future episodes will continue to cover one 'topic' per show.
We plan to keep the episodes as short as possible, and crank them
out regularly.
