    Not that great. A little too progressive for me. I don’t mind viewpoints but when it’s taken too far (left or right) it gets distracting and hard to hear the real story. Wish it was better.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 63: From Skinheads to Foreign Fighters: Lessons on the Czech Far Right with Miroslav Mareš
Q: How did the Czech far right evolve from the 1990s to the 2010s, and what were the key inflection points?
It started with violent skinhead subculture and racist attacks in the 1990s, then shifted toward a more professionalized, larger-scale far-right presence by the 2010s, including public demonstrations and increased sympathy from local populations in some regions, followed by strategic branding changes and cooperation with newer populist parties.
Episode 69: Whiteness and Patriarchy on Alt-Tech Platforms, ft/ Jasmeet Bahia
Q: What ethical challenges did you encounter in using data from right-wing platforms, and what lessons can researchers take from your experience?
Bahia discusses ethics board pushback, questions of data ownership and privacy, and the tension between public data and personal safety, emphasizing the need for evolving standards as online data becomes more prevalent in social science research.
Episode 69: Whiteness and Patriarchy on Alt-Tech Platforms, ft/ Jasmeet Bahia
Q: How does your concept of virtual collective consciousness apply to Parler, and what does it tell us about community formation there?
She argues that Parler fostered a concentrated space where like-minded individuals validate each other, creating a shared sense of purpose and belonging that resembles a hive mind or echo chamber, which can normalize extremist or exclusionary beliefs.
Episode 69: Whiteness and Patriarchy on Alt-Tech Platforms, ft/ Jasmeet Bahia
Q: What drew you to study Parler as a site of right-wing discourse, and how did you approach collecting data from it?
Bahia explains that Parler offered a unique ecosystem with explicit signals of identity and belonging, and she used a mixed-methods approach, including sampling bios and posts with manual coding and computer-assisted tools, to identify patterns in how users perform and justify their political views online.
Episode 61: The "Pro-Family" Movement: The Roots of the New Christian Right, ft. Chelsea Ebin
Q: How does the pro-family coalition differ from traditional fusionism, and why does it resist moderation?
The pro-family coalition stitches together single-issue groups under a broad umbrella, but each subgroup remains committed to its core radical positions, so there is no incentive to moderate; instead, the movement uses the umbrella to achieve a broader political platform that preserves its distinct, non-moderated aims.
