Daniel Harper is a researcher who goes where few others can bear to go: he listens to what the reactionaries - from the IDW to the modern day Nazis - say to each other in *their* safe spaces! In this timely and shocking - but entertaining - anti-fascist podcast, Daniel tells his friend, online writer Jack Graham, all about it.
- 251 - 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.
Jack presents a report on This Month in UK Fascism, surveying the recent issues surrounding Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the Dover 'protests', a small village's declaration of independence, and what links them all up.
Content Warnings, as always.

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 - 1h 21min - 250 - 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.

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 - 1h 39min - 248 - 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 goes to some perhaps surprisingly heartfelt places.

Mon, 18 May 2026 - 1h 44min - 245 - 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 psychologist of abuse and gaslighting Jennifer Fraser PhD about her book about abuse and gaslighting and her own history of being abused and gaslit, all without breaking a bead of sweat. This is Michael Shermer, remember. Then we take in some lowlights of his unbelievably vapid conversation with store-brand Bari Weiss, Bari Weiss's wife, Nellie Bowles, who is just... insufferable. We conclude by voyaging fully into the sickness as we tune into a discussion Shermer had with rabidly Islamophobic Zionist neocon warmonger and racist reactionary crank Douglas Murray, all about how Islam is a 'culture of death' and maybe Israel accidentally did some bad stuff in Gaza but, y'know, that's war, or something.
Big content warnings on this one. It's what I call a 'journey episode'. Not only is it over 2hrs long (we try to keep the length down but sometimes it's not possible) but all the way through it also raises topics that are very hard to deal with, including sexual and psychological abuse, and the manifold violent crimes of the state of Israel, including the Gaza genocide. And all through it, there is the personification of self-identified rational, logical, sceptical centrism nodding along like the libertarian reactionary and alleged abuser he actually is.
I've made time stamps for this one, for ease of navigation or multi-session listening.
The Intro to Shermer section starts around 13:50
The section dealing with the Fraser interview starts around 24:11
The Nellie Bowles bit begins around 1:04:00
And the Douglas Murray section starts at around 1:31:00

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 - 2h 07min - 244 - 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 ICE / Border Patrol incursions, the under-reported Prarieland trial of protestors, and most especially the horribly topical issue of the US-Israeli military attack upon Iran.

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 - 18min - 238 - 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 Epstein and Steve Bannon (et al), as related by Michael Wolff in a book, published in 2021, that contains many things now being treated as revelations by the media...
Oh what a tangled web we weave...
Gigantic and terrible content warnings.

"You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era's most effective practitioners of persuasion. When the left thought its hold on the hearts and minds of college students was nearly absolute, Kirk showed up again and again to break it. Slowly, then all at once, he did. College-age voters shifted sharply right in the 2024 election.
That was not all Kirk's doing, but he was central in laying the groundwork for it. I did not know Kirk and I am not the right person to eulogize him. But I envied what he built. A taste for disagreement is a virtue in a democracy. Liberalism could use more of his moxie and fearlessness. In the inaugural episode of his podcast, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California hosted Kirk, admitting that his son was a huge fan. What a testament to Kirk's project."
Robert Draper, New York Times, How Charlie Kirk Became the Youth Whisperer of the American Right: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/magazine/charlie-kirk-american-right.html
"But perhaps most important is that Kirk's dominant voice, via his podcast and his ubiquity on social media, has earned him credibility among conservatives as a die-hard Trump devotee. He has become a close friend of the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., with whom Kirk traveled to Greenland on Jan. 7 — wearing a "Charlie"-embroidered flight jacket for the occasion — to publicize Trump's proclaimed intent to acquire the Arctic territory. And Kirk was an early champion of JD Vance as Trump was deciding whether the senator would be his running mate."

Sat, 13 Sep 2025 - 1h 34min - 230 - 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.
Content warning: Jack is very enthusiastic about this.

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 - 1h 07min - 229 - 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. We then consider the legacy of Irving, his reputation today, how fascists now see him, how they see the 2016 film, the planned republication of his work by Antelope Hill books, and how he is weirdly replicated in current 'rising star' internet Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper. We then consider our own coverage of Israel's genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza and the question of how to talk about genocide after the Nazi Holocaust. Our discussion also touches upon another of the 'guests' brought on by Jubilee to debate Mehdi Hasan in the recent edition of 'Surrounded'.
We also briefly discuss the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad thing.

https://jewishcurrents.org/can-genocide-studies-survive-a-genocide-in-gaza
"Little changed even after Amnesty International published a landmark report accusing Israel of genocide in December 2024. For Nimer Sultany, a scholar of international law at SOAS University of London, this silence pointed to a glaring double standard, in which many scholars could rush to imply that the Palestinians had committed acts reminiscent of genocide, but be "unable to or unwilling to make the same charge against Israel, when Israel has committed much worse atrocities against the Palestinians since then." "This shows that the early use of genocide was propagandistic and political in nature. It shows that they don't care in the same way about Palestinian civilians or Palestinian victims," he said."

Sat, 26 Jul 2025 - 1h 26min - 227 - UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep38 Absolute Power (1997)
Originally published 11th April 2024.
Our series on 'movies about presidents' continues with a fun discussion of this 1997 'thriller', written by legendary Hollywood screenwriter William Goldman based on the debut novel of David Baldacci, starring/produced/directed by noted chair-interviewer Clint Eastwood, and boasting a splendid cast - including recently-deceased screen legend Gene Hackman - none of whom are given anything very interesting to do. Clint plays a suave cat burglar - with the unlikely name of Luther Whitney - who accidentally witnesses the president of the United States sexually assaulting a woman (far-fetched, right?) and getting her killed. All Hell then persistently threatens but repeatedly fails to break loose. Instead we get a slow, aimless, half-baked movie filled with good elements that don't cohere or go anywhere special. It sparked an amusing conversation though, as we hope you will agree.

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 - 1h 00min - 226 - 133: The Mamdani Reaction
After a brief review of Grok becoming 'MechaHitler', we chat about the hysterical meltdown that ensued upon Zohran Mamdani's victory in the Democratic primaries to become candidate for Mayor of New York. Jack brings his researches into the New York Times smear story and the fascist eugenicist blogger Jordan Lasker (AKA Cremieux) who gave the Times the leaked info. Daniel brings clips of Megyn Kelly's unhinged Islamophobic response to Mamdani on her podcast, including a conversation with Charlie Kirk in which racism wars for inanity for supremacy.

Zohran Mamdani told director mom Mira Nair to pass on Harry Potter movie
https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/films/news/zohran-mamdani-mira-nair-harry-potter-namesake-b2778144.html
"'She explained that she was just a month away from filming The Namesake when Warner Bros. reached out to her. Nair said she felt compelled to attend the meetings with the studio because her son had learned to read through J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books.
However, she didn't want to give up on working on her own film, so she asked her then-14-year-old son what to do.
"He said to me, 'Mamma, many good directors can make Harry Potter, but only you can make The Namesake,'" Nair recalled. "And it was such a liberating and clarifying statement, and it kind of is about how I lived my life. Like, what can I do that is so specific that you cannot do? How to make my distinctiveness my calling card.'"
The Times of India, Why MAGA Is Losing Its Mind Over Zohran Mamdami Eating Rice With His Hands

"First, let's get one thing straight: eating with your hands isn't dirty, weird, or backward. It's normal. In India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, parts of the Middle East, and even in some parts of Europe, using your hands to eat is a sign of connection—to the food, to your senses, to tradition.
But in the video of Mamdani eating with his fingers, Gill and his supporters saw something else. They didn't see heritage. They saw a threat. Because in their worldview, anything outside the "white, Western" norm becomes fair game for mockery or suspicion.
It wasn't about rice. It was about power."

"'Tarlov shot back, "I'm not afraid to say that I don't think Mamdani's vision for the city is a good one and I think a lot of his policies are crazy – NYC is the home of capitalism, not socialism. I want more police funding, not to defund. BDS is repellent. We can't freeze rent, making everything free. But none of that has to do with him being Muslim.'"

We're delighted to welcome back Craig Johnson - of Fifteen Minutes of Fascism - to chat about the politics and value of native English speakers learning other languages, especially Spanish.
Episode Notes:
Spanish language papers:
Pagina12: left Peronist, Argentina: www.pagina12.com.ar Proceso, Mexico: www.proceso.com.mx elDiario.es and Público, Spain: www.eldiario.es, www.publico.es
Again, not an endorsement of these as the best and most perfect news sources in the world, they have their own biases (esp regarding their own domestic left), but good for different perspectives.

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 - 1h 00min - 223 - 131: Trump and South Africa, Duolingo and AI
A News Roundup episode, and an episode of two halves. We start with a discussion of the recent public Oval Office meeting between Trump and Cyril Ramaphosa, in which Trump harangued the South African president with accusations of 'white genocide' based on 'evidence' which tracks straight back to people in our usual wheelhouse. Then we move on to a chat about the recent decision by language learning app Duolingo to replace loads of their contributors with AI, plus some dismaying news about Babbel, leading to a discussion of the impending AI jobs crisis. Then we cap it off with an odd flex for us... a feel good story!

Duolingo Replacing Contract Workers With AIThe Verge, "Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI"
https://www.theverge.com/news/657594/duolingo-ai-first-replace-contract-workers
"AI isn't just a productivity boost," von Ahn says. "It helps us get closer to our mission. To teach well, we need to create a massive amount of content, and doing that manually doesn't scale. One of the best decisions we made recently was replacing a slow, manual content creation process with one powered by AI. Without AI, it would take us decades to scale our content to more learners. We owe it to our learners to get them this content ASAP."
von Ahn's email follows a similar memo Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke sent to employees and recently shared online. In that memo, Lütke said that before teams asked for more headcount or resources, they needed to show "why they cannot get what they want done using AI."
Fortune, "Duolingo CEO walks back AI-first comments: 'I do not see AI as replacing what our employees do'"
"To be clear: I do not see AI as replacing what our employees do (we are in fact continuing to hire at the same speed as before)," he wrote. "I see it as a tool to accelerate what we do, at the same or better level of quality. And the sooner we learn how to use it, and use it responsibly, the better off we will be in the long run."
Babbel quietly ending Babbel LiveBabbel Support, "Discontinuation of Babbel Live"
https://support.babbel.com/hc/en-us/articles/26749152437522-Discontinuation-of-Babbel-Live
"Babbel Live was introduced in 2021. Knowing the power of human teachers, we aimed to offer our learners this experience from their homes. Over time, however, we did see a clear trend: the majority of them did not accept Babbel Live as part of their language learning path, making it impossible for us to sustain it as a business.
This change will help us achieve our goal of helping you become fluent in your new language quickly by enabling us to focus on improving our app, which most learners, especially beginners, prefer."

"The decision to participate in the Esports World Cup, which is directly funded by the Saudi Arabian government in an effort to distract public attention from the above human rights violations, is thus directly incompatible with any stated aims by GeoGuessr to promote an inclusive and diverse community, and extremely disappointing. I also do not want to dismiss the issue of hosting a tournament in Saudi Arabia, regardless of whether the event is directly run by the Saudi government or not. It is completely unnecessary to host a tournament in a country which some current or possible future world league players would be unable to travel to safely."

Wed, 28 May 2025 - 1h 15min - 222 - 130: South African Farm Murders and 'White Genocide', with Bianca van Wyk
Daniel and Jack are joined by special guest, South African anti-disinformation advocate, Bianca van Wyk, to discuss the issue of 'South African farm murders', the reality vs the right-wing narrative, some of the bad actors pushing the fake version of the story, and the links to the 'white genocide' conspiracy theory. Bianca helps us get the whole thing into proper context, especially re South Africa's history and current politics. Also discussed: the recent fast-tracking of refugee status for white South Africans by the Trump administration, the US Right's embrace of the South African far-right's propaganda, the 'Kill the Boer!' chant and what it really means, Elon Musk, and the recent reprogramming of X's AI chatbot Grok.

Tue, 20 May 2025 - 1h 07min - 221 - 129: Conclave (2024), the Papacy, and Right-Wing Catholicism
In this immediately out-of-date episode, Daniel and Jack discuss the 2024 movie Conclave in light of the (at the time of recording) underway 2025 Conclave in the Vatican to choose a new Pope. Both your hosts talk a little about their own religious backgrounds, review the film, and then get onto the politics of the Catholic Church, particularly the integration of right-wing US bishops with American reactionaries.

Fri, 09 May 2025 - 1h 24min - 220 - News Brief: The JFK Files
Trump released all the remaining secret JFK files! Except not really. And they're full of revelations! Except not really. (They're mainly full of people's social security numbers which, it transpires, is pretty much all the remaining redactions were hiding.) Anna Paulina Luna (R, FL) is leading a new congressional investigation! Er... no, she's inviting conspiracy theorists into Congress to confirm her ill-informed beliefs. The mystery is solved! Or deepens! Except nope nope and nope.
In this impromptu News Brief, Jack and Daniel jump off from a supremely stupid clip of reactionary conspiracybrained shitheads Bill Maher and Andrew Sullivan to ponder the changing political meaning of the conspiracy theories around the Kennedy assassination, why it has migrated from a left preoccupation all the way over to being an obsession of MAGA and the far-right.
Along the way we encounter the peculiar and controversial author Gerald Posner, who is able to debunk JFK conspiracy theories but apparently unable to see the problems with Israel's policies in Gaza, Elon Musk doing seig heils, or Gender Criticals who think the Trans movement is all funded by evil rich Jews (or possibly alien lizards).
Yes, this is the world we live in folks.

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 - 1h 28min - 219 - PREVIEW: Bonus 39 In the Line of Fire (1993)
Our 'movies about presidents' series continues (probably for four more years) with a much better movie this time. 1993's Wolfgang Peterson joint In the Line of Fire, featuring Clint Eastwood again (are we... doing a Clint Eastwood season now?) as jaded old Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan, veteran of a particular epic fail in Dallas 1963, up against the 90s serial killer shtick of rogue CIA super-assassin John Malkovich and, even more dauntingly, the merciless side-eye of fellow agent Rene Russo. A superior slice of 90s Hollywood nonsense with a nice line in gentle self-mockery and some adorable early digital effects.
This is a fun one, kids.

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 - 07min - 218 - PREVIEW: Bonus Ep38 Absolute Power (1997)
Our series on 'movies about presidents' continues with a fun discussion of this 1997 'thriller', written by legendary Hollywood screenwriter William Goldman based on the debut novel of David Baldacci, starring/produced/directed by noted chair-interviewer Clint Eastwood, and boasting a splendid cast - including recently-deceased screen legend Gene Hackman - none of whom are given anything very interesting to do. Clint plays a suave cat burglar - with the unlikely name of Luther Whitney - who accidentally witnesses the president of the United States sexually assaulting a woman (far-fetched, right?) and getting her killed. All Hell then persistently threatens but repeatedly fails to break loose. Instead we get a slow, aimless, half-baked movie filled with good elements that don't cohere or go anywhere special. It sparked an amusing conversation though, as we hope you will agree.

With apologies for our latest recent hiatus, here's an old bonus episode - formerly just for patrons - in which Daniel and Jack chat about 1992's A Few Good Men, a military courtroom drama written by Aaron 'West Wing' / 'Social Network' Sorkin, and starring Kevin Pollack and some other people probably.

Jack is joined by friend (and friend-of-the-show), the writer George Daniel Lea, to talk about the online phenomenon known as 'Estranged Parents' or the 'Estranged Parents Movement'. George did a deep dive and is here to tell us about what he found. It turns out to be a lot more relevant to IDSG than it might seem at first glance!

In a companion piece to the last public bonus, Daniel and Jack discuss Adam McKay's Vice from 2018, a dense metafictional dramedy biopic of Dick Cheney, unofficial president during the George W. Bush years and architect of the 'War on Terror'. An interesting movie, possibly as flawed as it is brilliant.

Another in our series of election year chats about movies about presidents. Originally published 18th October, exclusive for Patreon subscribers of Daniel or Jack, now released for all.
By patron request, we watched and discussed 1999's delightful neo-screwball teensploitation 70s-nostalgiafest Dick, in which two teenage girls - Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams - accidentally find themselves befriending Richard Nixon (Dan Hedaya) and becoming entangled in Watergate. It's terribly fun.

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 - 1h 05min - 210 - PUBLIC BONUS: W. (Oliver Stone, 2008)
Normal service to be resumed soon. In the meantime, Daniel and Jack continue their series on movies about the presidency by considering Oliver Stone's baffling 2008 movie W., an aggressively irrelevant and annoyingly whimsical dramady biopic of blood-soaked war criminal George W. Bush. The movie stars Josh Brolin as the charming mass murderer, and a host of respected American actors doing impressions of neocon profiteer warmongers in what looks weirdly like a bloated SNL sketch. Both your hosts find their dusty old rage about the 'War on Terror' (and the myriad other vicious and authoritarian horrors of the Bush administration) suddenly reawakened.

Daniel and Jack sit down across from each other in brown leather armchairs and ruthlessly interrogate each other about their many crimes. We also continue our election year series on movies about (or at least mentioning) US Presidents by talking over the deeply mid 2008 Ron Howard movie Frost/Nixon, an almost entirely fictional account of some TV interviews in which a chat show host helped a mass murdering crook present himself to the world as a thoughtful and moral person, to enormous acclaim. Thankfully the media learned their lesson and don't launder horrific people anymore just because they're powerful.

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 - 1h 08min - 207 - PUBLIC BONUS: Hillbilly Elegy
As the election looms, we take a look at Hillbilly Elegy (shitty book and shitty movie), the 'memoir' of America's fuhrer-in-waiting, weirdo venture capitalist, plutocrat fascist misogynist, Trump's pet and Thiel's puppet, J.D. Vance, in which he slathers on the hillbillyface in a grotesque and offensive performance of working class minstrelsy to the rapturous applause of centrist liberals... at least until he decided that principles were bad for his career ambitions and suddenly realised that Trump wasn't the American Hitler after all. (He is.)

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 - 1h 15min - 206 - UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep35 'Independence Day' (1996)
Originally available to Patreon patrons 6th July.
We recorded an episode about the 1996's biggest movie, Independence Day. For election year, we're looking at movies 'about' the American presidency, and how better to do that than to embrace the cheesy American exceptionalist pornography of this alien-invasion effects-spectacular? It's a sprawling SF comedy about incalculable mass murder and the genocide of humanity. Bill Pullman looks decent, Will Smith quips, Jeff Goldblum recycles, Randy Quaid gets an anal probe, billions die, and a good time is had by all.
Don't worry, the dog survives...
For now.
Spoiler alert: this is deeply stupid, but we both kinda like it anyway.
Features UK election chat, and US SCOTUS / Presidential debate banter.

We continue our election year series on movies about the US President, with a chat about Ivan Reitman's Capraesque 1993 political-romantic-comedy-drama-satire(???) Dave, starring Kevin Kline as a lovable goofball Presidential lookalike who ends up actually pretending to be the President, kindasorta accidentally pulling off a (well-meaning) one-man coup d'état, enmeshed in the plots of the evil White House Chief of Staff (Frank Langella), and falling in love with the First Lady (Sigourney Weaver).

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 - 1h 22min - 204 - UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep33 'Air Force One' (1997)
Back in the mists of yore, when America's eternal 2024 presidential election began, we started a series of bonus episodes on movies about the US President (with the word 'about' being employed very loosely).
In this first episode of that series, we look at 1997's Air Force One, in which President Harrison Ford wages a one-man, definitely not Die Hard-esque in any way campaign of extreme non-negotiation with terrorists (who seem to somehow be both Russian ultra-nationalists and Kazakh communists simultaneously) who have hijacked the presidential plane in order to oh god just shoot me already.

We talk about the second apparent attempt on trump's life, and why the Right's discourse about it is hypocritical bullshit. Then our main topic: the racist pogroms incited in Springfield, OH, by Trump and Vance's racist blood libels (via Blood Tribe and Chris Rufo), featuring the KKK and the Proud Boys. Features a surprise clip from Mike Enoch over at TDS.
Then a couple of other stories. Rich Lowry, editor in chief of National Review, accidentally forgets to not say the hard-R on Megyn Kelly's show; Bret Weinstein clever theory about Kamala's earrings and what They want him to think about them, Tim Pool and Ukraine (again).

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 - 58min - 198 - News Brief: Biden Quits, Harris Rises
It's Joever! But there's no way to pun 'Kamala Harris' with 'beginning'. There just isn't. So we're probably fucked, as usual.
In another News Brief episode, hot on the heels of the last one for some unfathomable reason, Daniel and Jack - both mired in mixed feelings - chat about Biden quitting the 2024 Presidential race, Joe 'cheese pizza' Biden himself, the immediate 'annointing' of Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement on the Dem ticket, the Dems being effective (if cynical) for once, Trump (again), the assassination attempt (again), J.D. "couch and/or dolphin fucker" Vance (again), Project 2025, some of the Right's first attempts to find a line of attack on Harris...
All that junk.
P.S. Jack only just realised he unwittingly plagiarised the term 'News Brief' from the Citations Needed podcast. Please don't sue. And if you do, sue Daniel.

Wed, 17 Jul 2024 - 1h 09min - 196 - PREVIEW of Bonus Ep35: Independence Day (1996)
We recorded an episode about the 1996 film Independence Day, because we're looking at movies about the American presidency, and how better to do that than to embrace the cheesy human genocide/American exceptionalist pornography than this entry into the Devlin/Emmerich oeuvre?
Spoiler alert: this is deeply stupid, but we both kinda like it anyway.

Dave, starring Kevin Kline as a lovable goofball Presidential lookalike who ends up actually pretending to be the President, kindasorta accidentally pulling off a (well-meaning) one-man coup d'état, enmeshed in the plots of the evil White House Chief of Staff (Frank Langella), and falling in love with the First Lady (Sigourney Weaver).

Part 2 of our epic Dark Knight chat. Since we spent the entirety of the last one moaning about the technical shortcomings of Christopher Nolan's 2008 Batman vs the Joker movie, this time we - being who we are - felt the need to spend this episode moaning about the themes and politics and ideology. And so we did.

In this little Halloween bonus, Jack joins friend of the pod Eiynah Mohammed-Smith, and Dr Caitilin Green, for a special spooky space over at cursed nazi chan board X. Recorded October 27th 2023. Please excuse the usual sound quality issues.
We talk about right-wing and IDW-type panics over woke Halloween costumes, concerns about cultural appropriation, etc. To quote Eiynah's write-up: "We discuss Bill Maher, Steven Crowder, Yale professors Nicholas & Erika Christakis & their calls for students to 'look away' from 'offensive Halloween costumes', U of Oregon Professor Nancy Shurtz who wore blackface at a party that students attended ….all this and more."
As always, thanks to everyone who turned up to listen and contribute.
Sun, 29 Oct 2023 - 1h 14min - 181 - FREE BONUS: Jack Talks About Elon Musk and the Nazis
Just Jack, talking about Elon Musk, X/Twitter, the nazis, and where we are now.

Wed, 04 Oct 2023 - 24min - 180 - BONUS: Hangin' out with Eiynah 4 - Russell Brand, Patriarchy, etc - with Dr Caitlin Green
Another little bonus to tide you over. Jack briefly went back to eX-Twitter to hangout in a Space with best-friend-of-the-pod Eiynah and the excellent Dr Caitlin Green to talk about Russell Brand, Lauren Boebert, Danny Masterson, the hypocrisy of those who scream about groomers, patriarchy, etc. The bit where Caitlin talks about reactions to the Brand allegations among the 'Gender Criticals' is particularly interesting. Thanks to everyone who showed up to listen and/or join-in.
Thu, 21 Sep 2023 - 1h 37min - 179 - PREVIEW: Bonus Ep30 In Cold Blood

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 - 05min - 178 - 123: Moms for Liberty, with Teddy Wilson
In this episode, Jack is honoured to be joined by special guest Teddy Wilson of the excellent substack Radical Reports. (Links below.) Teddy has been closely studying the US far-right, including the sinister political pressure group that calls itself Moms for Liberty, one of the prime movers in the current reactionary cultural counter-revolution going on in America. Teddy tells Jack all about it, going into detail about M4L's aims, methods, and connections. He also tells Jack about the interactive visualisation tool he's created at Radical Reports for tracking M4L, their activities and interactions with other people and groups on the right. Topics covered include M4L's links to the Republican Party including DeSantis in Florida, their ideological censorship movement to expunge school libraries of anything they don't like, their links to the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, etc. Fascinating (if ominous) stuff.
Just Jack this episode, but Daniel is on his way back. Won't be too long now.

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 - 1h 26min - 177 - 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 and Barbie herself, Musk and X, Dutch politics, the culture wars, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Piers Morgan, and that weird guy on YouTube who dresses like a medieval knight. Obviously, this being an X space (sigh), sound quality is variable.
Sat, 29 Jul 2023 - 1h 58min - 176 - 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 Iron Man.

Fri, 21 Jul 2023 - 1h 59min - 175 - 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 - this time in Nixa, Missouri - has targeted the book. It's not alone either. Nor is Maus the only classic Holocaust text being targeted. Ann Frank's diary is in the crosshairs of Mom's For Liberty.

Fri, 16 Jun 2023 - 1h 20min - 174 - 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 sexist discourse around E. Jean Carroll's suit against Trump, and the equally revolting discourse from deniers and obfuscators around the deadly shooting in Allen, Texas, with special reference to the bullshit about his ethnicity. Other subjects come up, naturally. Some interesting people took part and made great contributions.
Hope you enjoy it. See you soon.
Thu, 25 May 2023 - 2h 40min - 173 - 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!

Mon, 08 May 2023 - 06min - 172 - 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, and Daniel tells Jack about his visit to a museum while on his holidays. More interesting than it sounds, hopefully.
Content warnings for some discussions of atrocity and war, and one satirical use of a slur (by Jack).
Also, owing to technical difficulties, this episode doesn't have the absolute greatest sound, but it's perfectly listenable.

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 - 1h 21min - 171 - 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 a window into the rampant and increasingly mainstreamed antisemitism on the Right.
This episode comes with heavy content warnings. Daniel has done a ton of research and come back with a panoply of sniggering horrors. Jack has bleeped out the r-slurs and f-slurs. But still, take care.

Jeremy's Razors is the culmination of an "I Hate Harry's" campaign announced last week by Boreing and Ben Shapiro, a conservative media figure and editor emeritus at The Daily Wire."

A real treat episode: Jack chats with special guest Matthew Remski of the excellent Conspirituality podcast ("dismantling New Age cults, wellness grifters, and conspiracy-mad yogis".)
The conversation ranges over Teal Swan and influencers like her, the Anti-Wokeness of the conspiritualist milieu, the Satantic Panic and its relationship to QAnon, the fascists and their idea of 'after the revolution', and the neoliberal roots of our current cultural predicament.

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 - 10min - 161 - 120: Caleb Maupin and the Conspiracy Left, with Sophie from Mars
A real treat this time, as Daniel and Jack are joined by special guest Sophie from Mars to talk about Caleb Maupin and the wider 'Conspiracy Left', i.e. those left-wingers (or pseudo left-wingers) who style themselves anti-imperialists (etc) and who embrace every bad cause from Putin/Assad-apologia to transphobia to conspiracist antisemitism.
Sophie knows and understands this subject backwards and forwards. Her YouTube documentary video Conspiracy on the Left was an instant classic when it was released earlier this year, and she has lots of other videos in which (with others) she goes over Maupin's cultic conferences, his reactionary politics, his paranoid grudges, and his weird and patronising fascist screeds disguised as despatches from the new Lenin.
A great chat about an important issue for the left to deal with. And there is also, you will be unsurprised to learn, some laughing at the cringe of it all.

Annika specialises in covering the far-right and tells Jack all about the recent German government swoop on those in the Reichsbürger movement who were planning 'Day X', a storming of the Bundestag and a takeover of the state. We go over the context of the far-right in Germany, the composition and ideology of the Reichsbürgers, the coup plans, the structure of the conspiracy, the reaction in Germany, the connections with QAnon and the Sovereign Citizens, the context of 'Nuremberg 2.0' and the various strands of paranoid pandemic politics, etc. A really fascinating episode, thanks to Annika's deep knowledge.

In this 'DVD extra', we are joined by our friend, super knowledgeable and insightful pop culture writer Holly B, who takes us sad old deeply-uncool men on a journey through the weird world and arcane lore of the artist formerly known as Kanye West and now known as "that guy who looooooves Hitler". I don't know that we end up wiser exactly... but we certainly end up better informed and massively entertained. Or at least we would be entertained if everything about this weren't so awful.

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 - 1h 12min - 158 - 118: Ye - the Right Reacts
What happens when one of the most famous recording artists in the world has a full divorced-dad-crisis and plummets into the abyss he's been dangling over for ages, the abyss of far-right, antisemitic, pro-Nazi conspiracy theories? Well, now we know, because we've all been watching Ye (the artist formerly known as Kanye West) cart Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos around with him like his new crew of homies and hype men as he dines with Trump, does interviews with Tim Pool and Alex Jones, and chats with Gavin McInnes (founder of the Proud Boys) in what looks like a torture basement from cheap kink porn, all the while loudly declaring that Hitler did nothing wrong and the Jews are out to get him.
This episode focuses less on Ye himself and more on the Right's varied reactions to his odyssey of enthusiastic newly-converted-nazi antics. We check in with, amongst others, Nick Fuentes himself, Matt Walsh, and Elijah Schaffer.

Sun, 20 Nov 2022 - 1h 12min - 155 - 117: Terror in Waukesha (and the NJP)
In an episode recorded before Daryl Brooks was convicted on all counts, Daniel tells Jack all about the disgusting ways in which the National Justice Party has exploited his crimes, and other victims of other crimes. Coming to your town if you should be unlucky enough to suffer local crime committed by someone who happens to not be white.

Sat, 29 Oct 2022 - 1h 25min - 154 - BONUS: Hanging Out with Eiynah
At the start of the month, Daniel and Jack co-hosted a Twitter Space hangout with their friend, IDW-gadlfy podcaster Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (@NiceMangos). We had a fun chat about all the silliness that right-wingers had been up to (Jordan weeping over incels to Piers Morgan, Matt Walsh freaking out over crystal flutes, Graham Linehan starting to doubt vaccines and climate change, Peter Thiel's 'Right Stuff' dating app, mermaids of colour, etc) and then took some questions from listeners. Teddy Wilson (@reportbywilson), journalist and researcher and publisher of Radical Reports (@radicalreports) joined us too. Fun start, more serious back half; altogether a fun show that we decided to put up for everyone here.

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 - 1h 44min - 153 - 116: The Oath Keepers and Stewart Rhodes, with Rob from The Right Podcast
Special guest Rob from The Right Podcast (@TheRightPodcast) returns to tell Jack all about Stewart Rhodes and The Oath Keepers - seen like a rash all over American fascist activity from Ferguson to January 6th - with special attention to their deep roots and influences in the Tea Party explosion of the Obama era, the John Birch Society tradition, the Ron Paul Revolution, the Bundy saga, Waco and Ruby Ridge, and the US far-right tradition generally.

In case you hadn't heard, an old lady died and her unpleasant elderly son became her. Or something? Anyway, we puzzle it out in this bonus episode.
I'm still trying to figure out who destroyed a ring, personally.
