| The Flamethrowers | https://cdn.wonderfulfrog.com/images/theflamethrowers-podcast-template.avif | https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/1026-the-flamethrowers | true | All about the takeover of American AM radio by right-wing talking heads. |
I appreciated the host's occasional sense of humour, because the podcast uses real audio from some of the right-wind radio hosts and it can be... vitriolic, to put it nicely. I don't know what to do but immediately laugh after some of the hateful bile these men spew.
It amazed me how quietly it started, but much like a flamethrower (hey, just getting that now) the power of right-wind radio grew so rapidly.
Much like any number of problems facing America in the 21st century, it comes back to Reagan.
