Let's share podcasts that cover these dangerous lunatics. Please add more in the comments!

Adventures in HellwQrld - one of the best sources for keeping up to date with qanon. It took me a little while to get used to the hosts, but they've grown on me. They're really good at sticking to the facts and reporting on current qanon news.

Qanon Anonymous - better hosts but these days they're branching out into covering other cults and conspiracy theories, which doesn't interest me as much. I still keep it on my playlist and listen to the episodes that catch my attention.

The Necessary Conversation - two liberal siblings talk current politics with their right wing parents. The mother is more like qanon adjacent; the father is an angry, rabid Trump supporter. One of my favorite podcasts.

The Q-Dropped Podcast - interviews with people who have lost loved ones to qanon

I Don't Speak German - thoughtful, intelligent discussion about the far right. Unfortunately, they've stopped making new episodes for the time being; but they've said they're going to come back and have been releasing episodes from the Patreon archive in the meantime. Worth listening to back episodes; I didn't even find them until after they stopped recording but have enjoyed it.

It Could Happen Here - daily podcast that covers a variety of current events through a left wing lens; many episodes cover the far right and the problems they cause. From the creators of Behind the Bastards; many of the hosts are young but have intelligent perspectives. Also available in a weekly roundup with fewer ads.


SERIES

Older series that have ended but worth checking out if you haven't heard them.

The Assault on America - A documentary series from host Robert Evans investigating the Capitol insurrection. Stories of instigators and extremists hellbent on subverting democracy.

2nd on It Could Happen Here. I'll check out some of the others. Don't listen to podcasts often.

Oh snap, I got the title wrong, fixed. Yeah ICHH is pretty good, their coverage of the Atlanta Cop City protests is fantastic.
