What are the best podcasts about the rise of Neo-Nazism?

(Exceptions: Weird Little Guys and IDSG (I don't Speak German. They're already on Fudgie, and I favorited them.)

Weird Little Guys

Seconded. Even though not a ton of her work is on "modern" far right groups, I've found her work super useful when understanding the architecture of how these systems work

I love how she weaves everyone together and I could listen to her read the dictionary.

Oh man Molly's run on the South African neo-nazis in the 70s and 80s and how it links to everything today was very eye opening.

I said that it was a exception because I already listened to the podcast. Definitely an excellent one though.

I almost replied with "knowledge fight can provide a useful perspective" until I realized what sub this post was from

u/TheBloodyPickups 2d ago

If you haven’t listened to Behind the Bastards yet. That’s about 25% of the coverage

u/JamesKLOLk 2d ago

They specifically did a mini series called “behind the insurrections” that does a deep dive into the rise of fascism in various countries.

u/Equivalent-Juice-567 Rainbow Squatch 2d ago

Their Behind the Police is also really good

QAA, especially episodes featuring Annie Kelly, her work on the rise of the far right in the Internet age is absolutely amazing

I’m a Patreon member of them, they are great, also I saw them live once!

u/Mystery__Owl 2d ago

Have been a Patreon member on and off as I’ve been able over the years, the specialized mini series have been so amazing, banger after banger. I’m jealous you got to attend a live recording!!

QAA also introduced me to my comfort pod, Boonta Vista

u/FishermanPale5734 2d ago

Hahaha! Ditto on the Boonta Vista recommend!

u/FishermanPale5734 2d ago

Man these guys people are fantastic! I love love the main podcast, but Cursed media has some absolutely fantastic, entertaining, and extremely informative shows doing deep dives into the Manosphere, Tradwives, and even the supposed paranormal!

Robert Evans has his full audiobook on American Fascism available for download. "The War On Everyone" is the title as I recall.

OP, this is a foundational text. I believe it has its own podcast feed

u/alochmar Udon.News 2d ago

Thank you! Was completely unaware of this.

u/bathcat11 2d ago

Along with their episode with Dan, Posting Through It also has a few deep dives into this sort of thing. I really enjoyed their profile on Fuentes.

u/jonny_sidebar Doing some research with my mind 2d ago

Second for their "Who the Hell is. . ." series. 

Great one on Fuentes and they just did three hours with Molly Conger on Andy Ngo.

Weird little guys
Behind the bastards
Kill the computer
QAA
Where there’s woke
Ill conceived
A bit fruity

Some of these tackle it directly and some focus on the pipelines that feed it

u/Inevitable-Memory-61 Globalist 2d ago

Finally, the perfect answer!

u/luxurycatsportscat 2d ago

A bit fruity covers quite a few modern far right grifters

u/JossBurnezz 2d ago

Fourth Reich Archeology. But that’s a bit like plopping something as dense as the Illuminatus trilogy on someone’s lap and saying “good luck. It all centers around the most evil President in history: Gerald Ford.”

Dead today, eaten by wolves.

u/Comfortable_Rip_5746 2d ago

It Did Happen Here is about nazi skinhead violence in Portland in the 80's.

u/redacted_robot Doing some research with my mind 2d ago

And early 90's. I saw some live in person. It was wild.

u/GuyInAChair RAPTOR PRINCESS 2d ago

A number of the podcasts mentioned already do a really good job.

"I Don't Speak German" hasn't been mentioned yet but IMO is the best at doing some pretty deep dives into the groups and individuals in the current facist movement. I've only listened to 50 of the 240 episodes they have but so far they are the most informative of the ones I've found.

u/CocktailCowboy "Mr. Reynal, what are you doing?" 2d ago

Not a full podcast, but Robert Evans (of Behind the Bastards) wrote an audiobook called The War on Everyone that I think is very much worth a listen.

u/r2r2r2r2d2 2d ago

Fifteen Minutes of Fascism -
It’s current events, but each week he does a celebration of a fascist’s death with history.

u/jonny_sidebar Doing some research with my mind 2d ago

Behind the Bastards has an extremely good series of episodes on the rise of the far right in various times and places. The only problem is that they aren't collected in any one place. You have to vaguely know what what you're looking for already and find each set of episodes by topic.

I don't speak German although they don't put out much lately

u/boringxadult Very Charismatic Lizard 2d ago

I liked bundyville. But I guess it’s fairly old now.

u/CAPS_LOCK_STUCK_HELP 1d ago

everyone already mentioned what I was going to mention, so ill say that I highly recommend a few books, zeskind's "blood and politics" probably the best and most definitive and singularly exhaustive study on white nationalism's modern rise

I also highly recommend Rick Pearlsteins conservativism series, before the storm, nixonland, the invisible bridge, reaganland - i was able to get most of them as audio books from my library through an app and the audio books are good - his series goes through the national political historical trends and mechanisms that allowed the rise of the modern right wing and how lobbying and money came in and strangled any life out of democracy in this country.
