The Flamethrowers
“The Flamethrowers” captures the punch-you-in-the-mouth energy and sound of right-wing talk radio. Host Justin Ling takes us from the fringe preachers and conspiracy peddlers of the 1920s to the political firestorm that rages today. With humour and candour, Ling examines the appeal of broadcasters like Rush Limbaugh, who found a sleeping audience, radicalized it, and became an accidental kingmaker — culminating in the election of Donald Trump.

This series is well worth a listen. Justin (and team) do such a great job of bringing together the most salient bits of information and presenting it in a consumable manner. Makes me a little scared for the future, but glad that these folks are digging in the mud for us. We owe you all a lot.
