Episode notes

When the Klan makes a cross, they wrap it in rags and soak it in kerosene then you set it on fire. That way it burns for quite a while before it goes out. The idea of someone joining the Klan is pretty sinister anyway," he says. "I don't think that they would be too concerned with whether it's done with a cross that has Christmas lights stuck around it"

One of our heroes Barbara Ehrenreich passed away earlier this year. She was one of America’s best undercover journalists. We once spoke with her about her book Bright Sided, her journey into the heart of American darkness: the positive thinking industry. Also we hear from an ex clan member who reveals the secret of the twinkling cross. Plus your host wonders “what would the founders do”
