Extremely American
In Season 2 of Extremely American: Onward Christian Soldiers host Heath Druzin and James Dawson take an inside look at Christian nationalism. The movement aims to end American democracy as we know it and install theocracy, taking rights away from the vast majority of Americans in the process. The season follows the movement through the story of an influential far-right church, its attempt to take over a small town and a dark underbelly of abuse.

Interesting but blatantly biased
Both seasons are very interesting. The use of interviews with the principal actors is helpful. However, the host’s leftist bias is obvious, and his commentary can be tone-deaf. Listen with discernment.

Fascinating and Terrifying
Thank you for the thought-provoking, insightful, and balanced exploration of right-wing religious and political sects. The host is exceptionally knowledgeable and presents the material in an engaging, unbiased manner. Each episode leaves me curious (and admittedly terrified) to learn more.
