I Don't Speak German
Daniel Harper, a researcher, listens to what reactionaries—from the Intellectual Dark Web to modern-day Nazis—say in their own safe spaces. He shares his findings with his friend, online writer Jack Graham, in this anti-fascist podcast that is both timely and shocking, yet entertaining.
Episodes
146: Citizen Vigilante and the FILM CRIT FASH
Daniel and Jack take a look at the scintillating film criticism of various fascists - including Jack Posobiec, the Thought Crime podcast, Jared Taylor, 'Paul Kersey', and Kevin DeAnna - in response to Uwe Boll's new piece of amateurish nazi hate propaganda Citizen Vigilante (Elon Musk's new favourite film).

News Roundup: Maine Character Syndrome - the Fall of Graham Platner
Daniel and Jack convene for a news roundup ep on the downfall of (now former) Maine Democratic senatorial candidate Graham Platner. We talk about how things came to this pass, and how loads of the online 'progressive left' influencers who supported Platner have utterly disgraced themselves. We find some dark laughter around the edges of this story, but we take it very seriously. This episode goe

143: Michael Shermer interviews Douglas Murray and more
In this long episode, we look at several interviews conducted by notorious 'skeptic' author Michael Shermer on his podcast and "shitty YouTube channel", as it was memorably described by Rebecca Watson... After an introductory discussion of Shermer and his... ahem... chequered history (to put it legally non-actionably), we boggle at the decidedly low-energy Mr Skepticism as he interviews psychologi
142: State Terrorism and Fascism, with MsEntropy
Daniel and Jack are delighted to welcome back - after far too long an absence - the brilliant MsEntropy. We pick our guest's brains in a conversation about the complexities of the concept of terrorism, its relationship to national states, citizenship, and fascism, with special relevance to America in the grip of Trump, MAGA, and their apparatchiks. Amanda touches on recent events including the IC
141: Megyn's a Sad Bunny

138: The Epstein Excuses of Megyn Kelly and Steve Bannon
We look at Megyn Kelly's sickening and ludicrous (and instantly infamous) apologia for Jeffrey Epstein in the wake of the dump of Epstein emails, and follow the thread from her, via Richard Hanania's deranged tweets about how it's normal for adult men to fancy minors, and Alan Dershowitz's seemingly eternal dedication to having Jeffrey Epstein's back, all the way back to a 2017 meeting between Eps

Public Bonus: Selling Hitler (1986, 1991)
Daniel and Jack continue to be haunted by the fetid shade of David Irving as they discuss the 1991 UK television mini-series Selling Hitler (starring Jonathan Pryce, Alexei Sayle, and various once-and-future Doctor Whos)... and also the 1986 non-fiction book by Robert Harris upon which it is based... and thus also the real-life 1983 Stern Magazine fake Hitler diaries scandal which both are about.
134: Denial, Genocide, and the Shadow of David Irving
In this episode we talk about two dramatic portrayals of a seminal 2000 libel trial, the court case brought by Holocaust denier David Irving against American scholar Deborah Lipstadt: a contemporary UK television drama-documentary 'Holocaust on Trial' and the 2016 film Denial.

A News Roundup episode, and an episode of two halves.

BONUS: Hanging Out with Eiynah 3 - Barbie & Right-Wing Tears
While Daniel and Jack continue working towards resumption of IDSG, Jack is once again invited by best-friend-of-the-pod Eiynah (@nicemangos of the Polite Conversations podcast) to co-host a Twitter space [obligatory Elon Musk joke here] about the new Barbie movie and the tsunami of reactionary tears it has invoked. Conversation (with contributions from various guests) ranges over the movie itself
UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep9 Iron Man, 2008 (from Oct 2021)
Our hiatus continues, owing to some real pain-in-the-ass stuff in what is jokingly called 'real life'. Hopefully we are nearing the time when we can resume making new shows. In the meantime, here's another old bonus episode to tide you over until our triumphant return. In this one - originally recorded and released exclusively to Patreon subscribers in October 2021 - we discuss the 2008 movie I
UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep16 Maus (from March 2022)
We're still working on getting back up and running so in the meantime, here's an old bonus episode. This is our March 2022 discussion of Art Spiegelman's Maus, to go with our public episode from February 2022 about the McMinn County School Board in Tennessee removing the classic graphic novel about the Holocaust from the curriculum. Sadly, this is relevant again because yet another school board
BONUS: Hanging Out with Eiynah 2 - Monarchy, Misogyny, and Mixed-Race Nazis
By way of a little compensation for you while you wait (patiently, bless you) for us to get our shit back together (which we are in the process of doing) here is a little bonus, a slightly edited recording of a Twitter space that we did with our friend Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (@NiceMangos) on 12th May last. We chat about the coronation of Prince Charles (that's his name goddammit!), the revolting s
PREVIEW: Bonus Ep29 Charles and Tucker
Daniel and Jack reconvene for a chat about the coronation of Charles Windsor and the defenestration of Tucker Carlson. They also talk a little bit about their recent hiatus, and their imminent return to regular production of episodes. Enjoy! Become a backer of Daniel or Jack to get exclusive access to a new bonus episode. Becoming a patron also brings access to all other bonus episodes. At least
UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep9 Physics and Desert Country
Okay, so.... as you'll have noticed, we haven't been that productive lately. We've both been going through some stuff. However, we are both still committed to the show. To tide you over while you wait for us to get our acts back together, here's a public release of an old Patreon-only bonus episode from August 2021. It's a general chat in which Daniel and Jack react to some contemporary news, a
122: Crowder vs. the Daily Wire
Daniel and Jack return with a bumper episode. We start with Steven Crowder's declaration of hostilities against Shapiro and his organisation The Daily Wire, and from there we move through the various reactions on the far Right, from Elijah Schaffer to John Doyle to Isabelle Riley Moody to Nick Fuentes, and more. This episode is less about the Crowder vs. Shapiro spat and more about how it opens
FREE Bonus Ep28 Rage Against the War Machine, with Amanda Moore
A bitesize bonus in which Jack chats with Amanda Moore - journalist and former undercover infiltrator of MAGA! - about the recent Rage Against the War Machine rally... actually a rally in support of Putin and Russian imperialism. Amanda attended - for research purposes obviously - and found herself amidst Jimmy Dore and Matthew Heimbach, Tulsi Gabbard and Caleb Maupin, the Larouchites, the Grayzo
