Podcast appearances and mentions of Benjamin R Teitelbaum

The role of Aleksandr Dugin as an advisor to Vladimir Putin and influencer in Russian society has long been shrouded in mystery. Over time, this has earned him the moniker of “Putin's Rasputin”. But despite Dugin's widely acknowledged influence relating to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, his role and identity remain stubbornly difficult to pin down. Who is this agent of chaos, pulling at the fringes of western society? What does he want? And should the west be worried about its philosophical enemies like Aleksandr Dugin? Benjamin Teitelbaum visits the Real Clear Values podcast for the third time to discuss these questions and more.

Growing up in Denver, Colorado, Benjamin Teitelbaum had a yearning to connect with deeper ancestral roots. This yearning led Teitelbaum to explore his Swedish heritage and Swedish patriotism. As he experienced it, however, celebrations of Swedish patriotism were largely confined to groups of Swedish nationalists, including the far-right, as mainstream Swedish society had jettisoned patriotism in favour of multiculturalism. This led Teitelbaum into a complex and nuanced relationship with Swedish nationalism, and more particularly with those who call themselves Swedish nationalists, as an academic researcher. This episode digs into some of the key issues facing the liberal west today, including the prominence of money, materialism and rationality as western values, the existential malaise faced by many young people growing up without a sense of roots or a connection to place, the ubiquity and dangers of cancel culture, and more. Having already appeared on the Real Clear Values podcast to talk about the values that unite disparate nationalist thinkers such as Steve Bannon and Alexandr Dugin, in this episode Benjamin Teitelbaum gives further insight into his own values journey. Tune in to learn more about some of the biggest values-related challenges facing western liberal societies today. (Episode recorded on 29th April 2022.)

An explosive and unprecedented inside look at Steve Bannon's entourage of global powerbrokers and the hidden alliances shaping today's geopolitical upheaval. In 2015, Bloomberg News named Steve Bannon “the most dangerous political operative in America.” Since then, he has grown exponentially more powerful—and not only in the United States. In this groundbreaking and urgent account, award-winning scholar of the radical right Benjamin Teitelbaum takes readers behind-the-scenes of Bannon's global campaign against modernity in War for Eternity: Inside Bannon's Far-Right Circle of Global Power Brokers (Dey Street Books, 2020). Inspired by a radical twentieth-century ideology called Traditionalism, Bannon and a small group of right-wing powerbrokers are planning new political mobilizations on a global scale—discussed and debated in secret meetings organized by Bannon in hotel suites and private apartments in DC, Europe and South America. Their goal? To upend the world order and reorganize geopolitics on the basis of archaic values rather than modern ideals of democracy, freedom, social progress, and human rights. Their strenuous efforts are already producing results, from the fortification of borders throughout the world and the targeting of immigrants, to the undermining of the European Union and United States governments, and the expansion of Russian influence. Drawing from exclusive interviews with Bannon's hidden network of far-right thinkers, years of academic research into the radical right, and with unprecedented access to the esoteric salons where they meet, Teitelbaum exposes their considerable impact on the world and their radical vision for the future. Kirk Meighoo is a TV and podcast host, former university lecturer, author and former Senator in Trinidad and Tobago. He hosts his own podcast, Independent Thought & Freedom, where he interviews some of the most interesting people from around the world who are shaking up politics, economics, society and ideas.

The far-right is exploiting people when they are at their most vulnerable, using the Covid crisis to recruit and plan attacks, according to the UN and the EU. So how to beat both the pandemic and the growing extremism it brings with it? Guests: Jean-Yves Camus Director of Observatory of Political Radicalisation Barbara Molas Centre for the Analysis of the Radical Right Benjamin R. Teitelbaum Professor of Radical Nationalism in Europe Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge.

When not even a pandemic that has killed almost 50,000 Americans can heal the partisan divide, America is in big trouble. And that's where we begin this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show when Halli and her partner in politics, Matthew Cooper, slice and dice all things politics in their weekly take on the political scene. Then it is onto a truly eye-opening conversation, an exploration of the mind and heart of Trump creator, Steve Bannon, with the author of the new book WAR FOR ETERNITY: INSIDE STEVE BANNON'S FAR-RIGHT CIRCLE OF GLOBAL POWER BROKERS, Benjamin R. Teitelbaum. The podcast is posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com and is available on all your favorite apps.Seriously, when not even a pandemic that has killed almost 50,000 Americans can heal the partisan divide, America has some soul-searching to do. But there might be a glimmer of hope. Nearly 75% of all Americans agree that they disagree with Donald Trump and his Republican governors who think “there are more important things than life,” and it's time for America to go back to work. And though you might not have noticed it, there is an election going on. Trump has his daily campaign rallies disguised as Covid-19 briefings, but Democratic Party presumed nominee Joe Biden might be benefiting from those rallies, much to Trump's chagrin. Biden is ahead in many key state polls. There's a lot more to discuss, the newly-formed coalition government in Israel is on the list, too. Tune in.In our second half-hour Halli introduces you to the new book, WAR FOR ETERNITY: INSIDE STEVE BANNON'S FAR-RIGHT CIRCLE OF GLOBAL POWER BROKERS and the book's author Benjamin R. Teitelbaum. Kirkus called the book “breathless and provocative, with thick coats of conspiracy theory, of the doctrines that drive Steve Bannon.” If you're looking for the answer to some of Trump's most crazy, WAR FOR ETERNITY is the book for you. As if there isn't enough to scare us in this time of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the contents of Teitelbaum's book will. From a series of interviews with his subject, Steve Bannon, Teitelbaum takes us deep into the foundations and guiding documents of the ideology that guides Bannon, the author and champion of Trump's policies, including the border wall, the Muslim ban, his anti-immigrant nationalism. The partisan divide, the radical Republican Party, Covid-19, has Dr. Birx turned into Trump's Twirl Girl? Floriduh, Floriduh, Floriduh, Election 2020, and a deep dive into the mind of Steve Bannon with author Benjamin R.

Conversation with Benjamin R. Teitelbaum, Assistant Professor of Ethnomusicology and Affiliate Faculty in International Affairs at University of Colorado Boulder. We talk about his book Lions of the North: Sounds of the New Nordic Radical Nationalism (Oxford University Press, 2017) that deals with intersections of music and politics among Swedish ultra-nationalists.

Music is frequently connected to leftist politics and seen as the soundtrack to social protest movements, most notably the civil rights movement. But the far right groups use music too. Benjamin Teitelbaum‘s Lions of the North: Sounds of the New Nordic Radical Nationalism (Oxford University Press, 2017) explores how Swedish and Nordic far right parties deployed music in the 2000’s to expand the reach of their ideas. Consciously rejecting the sounds of White Power music and the image of skinheads in favor of pop music, hip-hop, and reggae, leaders of Sweden’s far right parties used the change in music to make in-roads into mainstream political discourse. In this podcast Teitelbaum discusses the shifting theoretical landscape that undergirds the radical nationalism and how this led to a variety of approaches toward music by far right parties. We explore how far right musicians and audiences came to use African-inspired musical forms in their effort to spread their ideas about Swedish nationalism. In addition to exploring questions of race, the conversation also examines the changing role of women in far right music and the vexed position of folk music. The podcast concludes with drawing some comparisons and contrasts between far right movements in the United States and Sweden. Benjamin R. Teitelbaum is Assistant Professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of Colorado. Teitelbaum’s commentary on music and politics has appeared in major European and American media outlets, in addition to scholarly venues. He has contributed as an expert for NPR, Swedish Radio, Norwegian Radio, the BBC, Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Helsinge Sanomat and Berlingske, and he has authored op-eds in the New York Times, Foreign Policy, Dagbladet and the Wall Street Journal. Teitelbaum is also a musician who specializes in Swedish folk music and Sweden’s unofficial national instrument, the nyckelharpa. More information about him can be found on his website. The host for this episode is Richard Schur, Professor of English at Drury University.
