Remember that time when a third of the U.S. listened to the weekly podcasts of a fascist radio priest? No? Well, neither did Fritz, who guides Boris and Rey through the tangled tale of Father Charles Coughlin, the confusingly named 'National Union for Social Justice', and his would-be terrorist militia, the Christian Front. Despite leading one of the largest American fascist movements in America, being the only Catholic priest to run for president, and becoming the first right-wing mass-media personality, most Americans have never heard of him. Join TENE in this story of an anti-Semitic chisler and darling of the Nazis to whom Bill O'Reilly owes his whole terrible 'thing'. Also: the return of Ford and his cronies, a half-dead bishop, 'Bundsters', and rabid anti-Semite and daughter-lobotomized, Joseph P. Kennedy! A lot of sources went into this, but Fritz highly recommends Donald Warren's book Radio Priest.
This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system. And how to get rid of all that. Something like that...
