“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.”

“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.”

“I am always skeptical of NPR shows on religion and politics because they are usually so left-leaning. But I recommend that you hang on and listen to all of the episodes in season 2. The bonus episode, number 10, of season 2 provides the balance needed to explain the problem of Christian...”Read full review »

“To be fair, it’s my own bias that causes me to desire media outlets to search harder for “moderate” evangelical Christians. As someone that takes my Christian faith very seriously, I see a trend toward a perception that religion (specifically Christianity) and politics are mutually inclusive.

“If you listen to no other episode, listen to season 2 episode 8. Then, go back and get the background. This is truly well-researched. This has serious historical undertones.”

“Goes to great length to push their bias storyline. They painted militias as if they were gonna take over in season 1. Fast forward to 2024 and it’s the leftists still and again taking over college campus’s spreading hatred. Season 2 will be a bias one as well”

“Crucial and captivating expose on the evolution of the far right in the US. The groups and movements this podcast is covering are right in that zone of highly influential and yet tragically undercovered by the media.
I’m hanging on the edge of every episode. 🍿”

“As a former Moscow resident from birth to age 18 (1981-1999), I knew that my parents avoided Christ Church businesses and disapproved of their K-12 school and college. I knew that the church had views that didn’t align with our own, but it seemed like a minor part of the town. Only now, decades...”Read full review »

“There’s some good info but there’s some leftist garbage in it too. Stop calling the AR a military style weapon. Maybe the military from around 1915. It’s like calling a generic 10 speed bike from Walmart a Tour De France style bike or a Honda Civic an F1 racer. It’s total crap.”
