Podcast – Fifteen Minutes of Fascism

Via Metafilter: “Fifteen Minutes of Fascism is a sadly topical podcast covering the global rise of the radical right. Listen every Thursday for news, analysis, historical background, and celebrations of the deaths of right-wing figures throughout history.”

“Since 2020, a PhD candidate, now Dr. Craig Johnson has been putting out Fifteen Minutes of Fascism, “a sadly topical podcast covering the global rise of the radical right.” Johnson, who sometimes writes for Jacobin, puts out a 12-20 minute podcast once or twice a week, where he recounts news on the far right from around the globe, usually ending up with a “See You in Hell” segment, where he profiles a fascist (or fellow traveler) from history who died that week (although usually in a different year). If there are two podcasts in a week, one of them is usually a slightly more in depth discussion on a topic — Flavors of Fascism, Fascism in Media, Major Figures for or against the Far Right, an expanded “See You in Hell,” and so on. Some of the longer “See You in Hell” episodes are available on YouTube. He has also recently written How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism.”
