“Oh dear, it would be this week that I decide to post a review. The current episode—White Power in the US—was a bit of a train wreck and saved only by the polite forbearance of interviewee Kathleen Belew. By linking the entirely irrelevant Waco Siege to her work Laurie had either not read her research or, worse still, decided to ignore it in order to plug a BBC podcast about Waco. Prof. Belew gently corrected him but he appeared to double-down on the error. I’ve followed this show since its very beginnings and considered it one of the gems of Radio Four’s crown. I never thought of him as a curmudgeon until this episode, but I do now. Such a shame.”
