Podcasts covering Qanon and far right terrorism - eviltoast

Let’s share podcasts that cover these dangerous lunatics. Please add more in the comments!

Adventures in HellwQrld - one of the best sources for keeping up to date with qanon. It took me a little while to get used to the hosts, but they’ve grown on me. They’re really good at sticking to the facts and reporting on current qanon news.

Qanon Anonymous - better hosts but these days they’re branching out into covering other cults and conspiracy theories, which doesn’t interest me as much. I still keep it on my playlist and listen to the episodes that catch my attention.

The Necessary Conversation - two liberal siblings talk current politics with their right wing parents. The mother is more like qanon adjacent; the father is an angry, rabid Trump supporter. One of my favorite podcasts.

The Q-Dropped Podcast - interviews with people who have lost loved ones to qanon

I Don’t Speak German - thoughtful, intelligent discussion about the far right. Unfortunately, they’ve stopped making new episodes for the time being; but they’ve said they’re going to come back and have been releasing episodes from the Patreon archive in the meantime. Worth listening to back episodes; I didn’t even find them until after they stopped recording but have enjoyed it.

It Could Happen Here - daily podcast that covers a variety of current events through a left wing lens; many episodes cover the far right and the problems they cause. From the creators of Behind the Bastards; many of the hosts are young but have intelligent perspectives. Also available in a weekly roundup with fewer ads.
