Daniel Harper is a researcher who goes where few others can bear to go: he listens to what the reactionaries - from the IDW to the modern day Nazis - say to each other in *their* safe spaces! In this timely and shocking - but entertaining - anti-fascist podcast, Daniel tells his friend, online writer Jack Graham, all about it.

PUBLIC BONUS: Talking About Gaza, with Eiynah Mohammed-Smith
Daniel is joined by friend-of-the-pod and regular guest/collaborator Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (Polite Conversations, Woking Up, @nicemangos (2) Eiynah (@nicemangos.bsky.social) — Bluesky ) to talk about Israel's genocide in Gaza, and in particular about some questions that have come up around IDSG's public response to it. Jack was sadly unable to attend the recording but was fully there in spirit.

Customer Reviews
Subject to change
I’d rate this podcast better if they were doing this podcast but these “guest podcasts” really put me off because of the degree it seems the females are not deeply listening to what anyone is saying but rather taking turns speaking. It doesn’t build my interest and it becomes like any other conversation that I can’t wait to tune out (and I turn it off when I realize that I’m not trying to pay attention anymore). I don’t care whom was logged out of the low production zoom meeting; I am rather more concerned the building of coherent points. Sometimes I need help understanding WHY people have the feeling they have and simply judging adorable v deplorable is not building a point or gaining metaphorical ground for one’s argument. Building a better argument gives that argument gravity that otherwise one’s simple opinions lack and that was a great strength of this podcast (from my perspective) when it had its previous format (seemed orderly). I’ll keep trying the podcast to see if the “gang” can co-operate more in this respect by working together and tuning out when they don’t. Optimistic about raising this review star rating when things sort out.
After hearing that one of the host not gonna vote
I’m officially finishing listening this pod. Last episode of Israel/Hamas conflict was not a last straw, never been completely agree with pod views but still liked, as liberal, point of view they bring in most of the time. But not voting in swing state aka give your vote out, just trow away one of the most important rights? Really? Now, hows Trump in office would help to any of cause this pod are for? It’s disgusting and completely lack of balance
THE BOYS ARE BACK
this podcast has gotten me through some dark times and has also armed me with the knowledge to operate in the world today. their well deserved hiatus is slowly coming to an end and it was such an absolute joy to hear a “traditional” episode (as much as I appreciate the bonus content!)
it’s also very rad to have folks who are modeling taking time away from projects in order to heal/take care of yourself. we can’t operate like machines and shouldn’t expect that of anyone, including those we have parasocial podcast friendships with.
