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.

News Roundup: Tucker and Algebra, plus The Kirkaversary, and This Month in UK Fascism
Daniel talks about some recent stories, including the even sillier (and nastier) stuff behind that silly clip of Tucker Carlson saying algebra is fake, and the recent Kirkaversary.

147: The Deadly Persecution of Dr Jason Arday
Jack preps an episode for Daniel about the sinister, unhinged, bloodthirsty persecution of Dr Jason Arday in the depraved UK media, which led to his tragic death. The real story leads us through Nathan Cofnas, 'race realist', back to a network of reactionaries and racists connected via Cambridge and loads of Thiel money.

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.

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...

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

In the meantime, here's another old bonus episode to tide you over until our triumphant return.

Sadly, this is relevant again because yet another school board
