What's in This EpisodePodcasthon is a global event where thousands of podcasters use their platforms to raise money for a cause they believe in. This year, The Thing About Witch Hunts is participating to support End Witch Hunts, the only US nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness about witchcraft accusation violence past and present. If this episode moves you, donate at endwitchhunts.org/donate. Every contribution goes directly to the work.The Salem Witch Trials ended in 1693. We know what went wrong. And yet the pattern keeps showing up, different century, different accusation, same structure. This episode names that structure.Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack step back from individual cases to look at what moral panics are actually made of: how they get built, who builds them, who gets targeted, and why the fear feels so real and so righteous from the inside. The history moves from colonial Massachusetts through the Red Scares, McCarthyism, and the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and 1990s, connecting to witchcraft accusation violence happening in communities around the world right now.What You'll LearnWhy the same panic keeps working across centuries. How institutions transform fear into prosecution. Who gets chosen as the target, and why that choice is never random. What genuine fear has to do with other agendas operating underneath it. And perhaps most importantly: what the people who actually disrupted witch hunts throughout history had in common.The dissenters are always in the record. This episode finds them.Why It MattersEvery person who can recognize a moral panic in progress becomes a potential dissenter. That is not a small thing.

One day after the 2026 Academy Awards and right smack in the middle of Oscar Month is the one that won its own 4 trophies 25 years ago. A Beautiful Mind is a touching love story about a real-life paranoid schizophrenic: Nobel-Prize winner John Nash (and his put-upon wife Alicia). Ron Howard & his team play fast and very loose with the facts, including how Nash's condition manifested AND casting Jennifer Connelly as Nash's Hispanic wife. Still, though, Russell Crowe is dynamite as our main man and the supporting performances by Ed Harris, Paul Bettany & Christopher Plummer are terrific. And Howard does well to make a movie about math, but doesn't overload us with it. So laugh at yourself and also about the need for fluid exchange while trying to tune out the voices in your head as this 725th edition of Have You Ever Seen jabbers about A Beautiful Mind. Note: the second movie in the episode on March 23rd will actually be Cimarron, not Dodsworth (which I'll cover on March 27th instead). Don't worry about the Red Scare or those sneaky Communists. Just calmly share your opinion about this movie (and others) with an email (haveyoueverseenpodcast@gmail.com) or a tweet (@moviefiend51) or a Sky (ryan-ellis). Subscribe to this channel and you won't miss one of those patented extra Friday shows (or the Oscars Post-View probably coming later today), then dash off a review and a rating in your app.

Prova Shopify ad 1 € - Vai su shopify.it Arrestati, giudicati colpevoli di spionaggio nucleare, giustiziati sulla sedia elettrica. Il caso dei coniugi Rosenberg scosse l'opinione pubblica americana ed europea a inizio anni '50. Nel pieno della caccia alle streghe, del maccartismo e del Red Scare, le accuse mosse nei confronti di questi due cittadini statunitensi emersero come un segnale deciso da parte dell'America di voler punire chi lavorava per l'URSS. Le rivelazioni del fratello di Ethel, David Greenglass, l'apertura degli archivi ex sovietici e la desecretazione dei cablo del Progetto VENONA hanno chiarito nel tempo la questione, riducendo le accuse a carico di Julius e stabilendo la piena innocenza della moglie. Ma se davvero era così, perché i due coniugi furono consegnati al boia?
Matthew digs into the fascism-enabling political theology of Bishop Robert Barron and the rightward slide of Big Catholic media. From his early admiration of Thomas Merton—carefully stripped of his antiwar and anti-capitalist passion—to his praise for Jordan Peterson, Marco Rubio, and Charlie Kirk, Barron repackages Red Scare tropes in the language of beauty, civility, and “religious liberty.” And what about his virtual silence on ICE operations in Minnesota and the suffering of immigrants within his own diocese? What does “religious freedom” mean when it defends American exceptionalism more than human beings?

Today, Gavi FINALLY gets to talk about his favorite topic, Jean Beaudrillard's "Simulacra and Simulation," which explains Hyperreality. "The Matrix" film is allegorical to the postmodern condition of Hyperreality. We discuss examples of simulacra, Hyperreality, and the history of how we (in the western canon) came to view the world this way. We discuss simulated reality as it relates to christian fundamentalism and the US.If you have any thoughts, opinions, or questions about this topic (or corrections) please let us know either by comment or by emailing us at LeavingEdenPod@gmail.com!

Episode 153: Our pick for 1953 is Sam Fuller's PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET, a hard-boiled noir thriller that doubles as a sharp critique of 1950s America, examining the paranoia, moral compromise, and social damage wrought by Red Scare hysteria through the collision of petty criminals in the gritty NYC underground.

How can we have too much free speech? And should everyone have access to large platforms to express increasingly outrageous and unbridled opinions? That was what I was asking in this conversation in the context of the infamous Tucker Carlson interview with avowed Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes. Why platform him and extend his audience four times beyond what he otherwise would have? And given that the emotional fragility of many in this moment might incite someone listening to act out in some manner? And while my guest, Dr. Chloe Carmichael, a clinical psychologist, and author of “Can I Say That” finds his remarks detestable, as well, she holds the view that free expression, when suppressed, leads to greater psychological problems in the process. It’s an interesting discussion. I paraphrase a lawyer who questioned Sen. Joseph McCarthy, during his Red Scare moment, in the 1950’s asking the question ‘have you no decency, sir.’ The lack of civility and restraint now occupies the speaker’s corner in America and in an era of social media the amplification of it is very loud and unsettling. And while the First Amendment is often cited as giving me the right to say anything I want, it refers specifically to the government’s inability to suppress that speech. Your employer can do it. Owners of professional teams can throw you out of the stadium for being obnoxious. Perhaps mom had the right idea. If you can’t say something nice about someone, don’t say anything at all. Mr. President, are you listening?
Two new books focus on lesser-known chapters of Black history. First, Kings & Pawns tells the story of Jackie Robinson and Paul Robeson, who were pitted against each other during the Red Scare. In today's episode, author Howard Bryant, a frequent contributor to NPR's Weekend Edition, speaks with Scott Simon about how the men got caught between patriotism and activism. Then, NPR investigative reporter Cheryl W. Thompson tells NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about Forgotten Souls, a history of the 27 Tuskegee Airmen who went missing during World War II.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Author Howard Bryant discusses his book, Kings and Pawns: Jackie Robinson and Paul Robeson in America. Bryant will be speaking Thursday evening at the Jackie Robinson Museum.
Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - JFK's American University Speech (Class 11) We conduct a critical analysis of JFK's 1963 "Strategy of Peace."

Find the "fantasies and fanatics" quote and sit with it. Write down one question you have after this episode or doing homework #1. If no question comes to mind, write: "no question." Optional:Journal about a "fantasy" you have for the world that others might call unrealistic. Why is that dream actually the most logical thing to want?

"Characters make books. Why are these guys in opposition? And were they actually really? How can you be in opposition with someone you never met? How can you be in opposition with somebody who's essentially sharing the same plight you're sharing in the country? And that brings in the other character. It's Branch Rickey. Branch Rickey is the puppet master of this entire book. Branch Rickey is the puppet master of that entire period," says Howard Bryant, author of Kings and Pawns: Jackie Robinson and Paul Robeson in America.We've got Howard Bryant (@howardbryantbooks) back on the show for Ep. 509. Howard is the best-selling author of several books and his latest is Kings and Pawns: Jackie Robinson and Paul Robeson in America. It's published by Mariner Books.Howard's book takes a new framing on two iconic Black American icons of the 20th century. Very few people know much about Paul Robeson, who was a brilliant football player, but perhaps more famous as a baritone singer and stage actor. Jackie Robinson was the first Black American to play major league baseball, breaking the color barrier in baseball.The two were separated by some twenty years, never met in person, but were pitted against each other during the second Red Scare, kings turned into pawns. The authoritarian, McCarythian overreach of the era very much echoes our current moment. Robeson's career, his life, was ruined. It's a complicated story brilliantly orchestrated by one of the best writers this country has on offer.Howard is the author of The Last Hero: A Life of Henry Aaron, Juicing the Game: Drugs, Power, and the Fight for the Soul of Major League Baseball, Rickey: The Life and Legend of an American Original, The Heritage: Black Athletes, A Divided America, and the Politics of Patriotism, and Full Dissidence: Notes from an Uneven Playing Field, and he also was the guest editor of The Best American Sports Writing Series. You're in for a treat. You can learn more about Howard at howardbryant.net and follow him on IG @howardbryantbooks.In this episode we talk about: When you know it's a book Who are your stars? How he reshaped the book by fixing the introduction How he bridged the gap between Robinson and Robeson's timelines How Branch Rickey, this vaunted angle of integration, wasn't exactly so holy And Howard's favorite thing about writingOrder The Front RunnerWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com
Episode 516: Red, Red Whine This week Host Dave Bledsoe woke up brutally hungover behind a trash dumpster in the Tacony neighborhood of Philadelphia meaning a whole New Year has started. (It's tradition) On the show this week, we end our hiatus without actually going on hiatus. (Turns out Dave was just sad) We start our generational pivot with the first leg of the tripod that holds up the Baby Boomers, the Red Scare! Along the way we discover that Dave isn't a communist (Turns out their parties are not his kind of parties) then we dive right into the history of international Communism with its bearded Daddy, Karl Marx. We breeze past the first Red Scare and honestly most of the second one, focusing on the major players. (Oddly, mostly Republicans) We talked about why they were looking for a communist under their beds (because they didn't like Jews) and why they had to persecute anyone who might be a communist. (Again, they don't like the Jews). Then we take a quick look at the impact of the Red Scare on American society and how it formed the Boomer generation. (It is why so many of them don't like the Jews) Our sponsor this week is Your Local Communist Party, there are six of us, how scary can we be? We open with a 50s newsreel about international Communism and close with Kuerdas who prefer reds.

To celebrate the New Year, we are doing the Xmas episode! Ryan, Louie & Al breakout their caroling gas masks to discuss Weird Al Yankovic and his Chirstmas classic, "Christmas at Ground Zero."
HOLLYWOOD POLITICS, DIVORCE, AND MEETING NANCY Colleague Max Boot. Boot examines the collapse of Reagan's marriage to Jane Wyman as her career outpaced his post-WWII. He discusses Reagan's navigation of the "Red Scare" as SAG president—publicly liberal but privately an FBI informant—and his subsequent marriage to Nancy Davis, who became his essential protector and political partner. NUMBER 3 1946
Todd Hiles and Stewart Fillmore step into the uneasy space where fear, patriotism, and tradition collided. During the height of the Red Scare, even the most beloved symbols of American life were not immune to suspicion.In 1947, an FBI report quietly raised concerns about a holiday film cherished by generations—alleging that beneath its warmth and optimism lay something far more unsettling. Subtle messages. Questionable themes. A suggestion that the story Americans welcomed into their homes each Christmas might not be as innocent as it seemed.The claim was never proven. But the shadow it cast lingered—revealing how paranoia could seep into even the safest corners of culture, and how fear had the power to rewrite intent.With careful perspective and restrained analysis, Back in Crime examines a moment when celebration met suspicion—and when Christmas itself became part of the Cold War.Follow Texas Crime Travelers:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@texascrimetra...Instagram: https://instagram.com/texascrimetrave...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/texascrimetr...Substack: https://substack.com/@texascrimetravelershttps://texascrimetravelers.com/Have a specific case in mind that you'd like us to explore or just want to get in touch?

This hour we talk about the history of the Second Red Scare, a period also known as McCarthyism. We learn about why the Scare took off in the United States, its impact, and how it eventually fizzled out. Plus, we look at the parallels and throughlines between that time period and our current moment. And, a look at how the Second Red Scare impacted Hollywood, and how it, in turn, was reflected back through the movies.

Republican disunity is being obscured by affection for Trump, but just below the surface, MAGA is being pulled apart at the seams. At the same time, the administration is busy committing war crimes while conducting an illegal, nonsensical war, and the FBI is investing progressive groups for their views. The state of free speech protections may be worse than during the Red Scare. Meanwhile, SCOTUS keeps shaping the power of the presidency, Tucker and Candace's conspiracies and Israel fear-mongering are way past an act, and the Andrew Tates of the manosphere are giving cover to men who just want to be a**holes. David French joins Tim Miller. show notes David's recent piece on MAGA Ken Klippenstein on the FBI investigating progressive groups NYT on the Trump administration helping out Andrew Tate David's podcast, "Advisory Opinions"

rWotD Episode 3134: 1919: The Year That Changed America Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 2 December 2025, is 1919: The Year That Changed America.1919: The Year That Changed America is a 2019 non-fiction children's book by American author Martin W. Sandler. The book details various events from 1919, including the Great Molasses Flood in Boston, "which led to building code, municipal oversight, and corporate liability precedents", the Nineteenth Amendment's passing, racial tensions, the Red Scare, changing labor conditions, and the beginning of prohibition. Beyond discussing the events themselves, Sandler explain the long-standing impact of each in the United States.1919 was well received by critics. Kirkus Reviews referred to it as "an entertaining and instructive look at a tumultuous year," while Publishers Weekly highlighted "Sandler's narrative skill and eye for detail, and the abundant archival photos throughout," which they found "make for an engrossing resource". Stephanie Wilkes, writing for School Library Journal, described the book as "well researched and presented in an attractive manner" as it "delivers a solid look at a pivotal year". Most reviewers found the "100 Years Later" chapter, which connects the events of 1919 to the present, intriguing; however, Booklist's Carolyn Phelan noted that "a few sections stretch the concept rather far, presenting current issues such as climate change". Otherwise, Phelan found the book to be "an intriguing look back at America in 1919".The Washington Post named 1919 one of the best children's books of 2019. The following year, Bank Street College of Education named it one of the year's best history books for children ages 14 and older.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:00 UTC on Tuesday, 2 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 1919: The Year That Changed America on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kendra.

The Fracture of Reagan's First Marriage, Hollywood's Red Scare, and the Appearance of Nancy Davis. Max Boot discusses the marriage between Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman, which was considered an "odd combination." Wyman was drawn to Reagan because he was a "nice guy" and a "white knight," though Reagan was "very hard to get to commit." By the eve of World War II, Reagan was professionally ascending, but the war derailed his commercial film career as he spent the entire conflict in Hollywood making training and propaganda films. When the war ended, there was diminished demand for his services, while Jane Wyman's career soared after the war. Reagan became increasingly active in the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and Hollywood politics, still an "idealistic liberal" and New Dealer, while Wyman became uninterested in politics, leading them to drift apart. The political climate was dominated by Congress's search for communists in Hollywood. Reagan served as the unpaid president of SAG and navigated the "treacherous politics" of the McCarthy era skillfully, appearing liberal when testifying before HUAC while quietly acting as an FBI informant. Jane Wyman initiated the divorce in 1948, shocking Reagan and leaving him adrift. Nancy Davis then entered his life, leading to a marriage that made sense, as Nancy wanted to be a wife and mother and threw herself into the role of the "perfect wife." Reagan needed a strong woman, and Nancy became absolutely integral to his career advancement, acting as a shrewd political figure who often handled hiring and firing.

Michael Townsend and director Jeremy Workman tell the wild true story of an eight-artist collective that built a hidden home inside Providence Place Mall—part prank, part art project, and a pointed reply to gentrification. They revisit grainy 2003–07 footage, a tape-art 9/11 memorial, and the logistics (and ethics) of living behind a cinderblock wall in America's retail cathedral. Plus: a look at Christine Lagarde's plan to collateralize frozen Russian assets for a Ukraine loan—and why that's diplomacy by euphemism. Also: "No Kings" rallies, protest as pressure valve, and the politics of bounce houses versus Red Scare rhetoric.

"An important precedent was set: fascist groups will always use you until you're no longer useful to them."Welcome to one of history's darkest (and dumbest) closets: fascists who are also, annoyingly, gay.From Hitler's Brownshirt boy toy, Ernst Röhm, to closeted McCarthyists like Roy Cohn, to lesbian “nationalist” hypocrites like Alice Weidel — it seems that the 20th and 21st centuries gave rise not only to modern fascism, but to a couple of queer rightwing nutjobs as well.Join Bash and his gorgeous guest this week, Alexis Sakellaris, as they wade into the icy swamp water of gay fascism to ask: why do some of our siblings keep ending up on the wrong side of history?Along the way we discover:Ernst Röhm's gay Nazi clique that met in Berlin drag barsThe Lavender Scare, a lesser known gay witch hunt that issued from the communist-targeting "Red Scare"The queer fascination with skinhead aesthetics that no one asked forAnd Alice Weidel, the blonde, blue-eyed German lesbian who hates… well....everyone who isn't thatIt's an episode full of hypocrisy, homophobia, and hidocious messes — proof that queerness doesn't automatically make you good. Just really, really organized.
From an award-winning historian and New York Times reporter comes the timely story about McCarthyism that both “lays out the many mechanisms of repression that made the Red Scare possible…[and] describes how something that once seemed so terrifying and interminable did, in fact, come to an end” (The New Yorker)—based in part on newly declassified sources. Now, for the first time in a generation, Clay Risen delivers a narrative history of the anti-Communist witch hunt that gripped America in the decade following World War II in Red Scare: Blacklists, McCarthyism, and the Making of Modern America (Simon and Schuster, 2025). This period, known as the Red Scare, was an outgrowth of the conflict between social conservatives and New Deal progressives, and the terrifying onset of the Cold War. Marked by an unprecedented degree of political hysteria, this was a defining moment in American history, completely unlike any that preceded it. Drawing upon newly declassified documents and with “scenes are so vivid that you can almost feel yourself sweating along with the witnesses” (The New York Times Book Review), journalist Clay Risen recounts how politicians like Joseph McCarthy, with the help of an extended network of other government officials and organizations, systematically ruined thousands of lives in their deluded pursuit of alleged Communist conspiracies.Beginning with the origins of the era after WWI through to its conclusion in 1957, Risen brings to life the politics, patriotism, courage, and delirium of those years. Red Scare takes us beyond the familiar story of McCarthyism and the Hollywood blacklists and toward a fuller understanding of what the country went through at a time of moral questioning and perceived threat from the Left, and what we were capable of doing to each other as a result.

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the Lavender Scare, a roughly forty-year period in history (spanning from the late-1940s and into the early-1990s) in which thousands of government employees lost their job as part of a federal anti-gay policy. Under Executive Order 10450 issued in 1953, it became a legal policy to remove all known gay men and women from federal service because it was believed that homosexuals have a proclivity for weakness and would therefore pose a threat to national security if they remained in their positions within the government.We all know about Senator Joseph McCarthy and the Red Scare that he set off with his infamous congressional speech about the list of communists he claimed to know worked for the government. But alongside that scare, lesser known than that scare, was the Lavender Scare. As Senator Alan K. Simpson later wrote of it, “The so-called ‘Red Scare' has been the main focus of most historians of that period of time. A lesser-known element and one that harmed far more people was the witch-hunt McCarthy and others conducted against homosexuals.” And while McCarthyism is generally associated with the 1940s and 1950s, the Lavender Scare went far beyond that with one federal employee telling about his experience in 1980! Jamie Shoemaker was called into his boss' office at the National Security Agency in 1980 where “...they said ‘we understand you're leading a gay lifestyle. And I remember saying, ‘well, I didn't think I was leading it, but yes, I'm gay.'" He was then placed on leave for four months while his bosses hemmed and hawed about what they were going to do…all to eventually fire him for his sexual orientation…nearly thirty years after the Executive Order had first been put into place!I find this topic to be fascinating – and also, obviously, brutal and disgusting – but fascinating because it is a lesser known part of history…and yet it is wrapped up in the larger picture of a very well known part of history; that being, McCarthyism and the Red Scare.Follow Hashtag History on Instagram @hashtaghistory_podcast for all of the pictures mentioned in this episode.Citations for all sources can be located on our website at www.HashtagHistory-Pod.com.

This is McCarthyism 2.0. Since Charlie Kirk's assassination, the Trump administration has been speed-running an attack on the “radical left.” And the tactics it has been using are darkly reminiscent of the Red Scare of the 1940s and '50s. So what can that period teach us about the current moment and what the Trump administration might do next? How far could this go? Corey Robin is a political theorist at Brooklyn College. He's an expert on McCarthyism and the author of the book “The Reactionary Mind,” one of the most insightful books you can read on the Trumpist right. In this conversation, he walks through what happened in the first and second Red Scares and what made him start worrying about the Trump administration.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:Red Scare by Clay Risen“How Democrats Drove Silicon Valley Into Trump's Arms” by Ross DouthatThe Furies by Arno J.

This week on Right Answers Mostly, we're diving into the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb,” haunted genius, and reluctant face of America's most destructive creation. But don't worry, we're not leaving you in the fallout without a soundtrack. We're breaking down Oppenheimer's journey with a little help from Taylor Swift's greatest hits, because sometimes the only way to understand the Manhattan Project is to say, "look what you made me do." From his bohemian youth, to the ethical torment that followed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to his public trial and humiliation during the Red Scare, we'll ask whether Oppenheimer was the tragic anti-hero of his own story, or just a man stuck in a cycle politics, paranoia, and power. History is just gossip after all, even when discussing the Atomic Bomb. Created and produce by Tess Bellomo & Claire Donald For more RAM, follow us here!

After 1917, San Francisco's small Russian community exploded with new arrivals. Over the next decade, thousands quit Soviet Russia, often via the Far East or China, to escape revolution and civil war. Arrival in America, however, was only the beginning of new trials. In the 1920s and 1930s, American nativists saw Slavic people as low in the racial hierarchy–people who were visually white, but culturally not quite. The Russian community in San Francisco was faced with a contradictory choice: to preserve their culture, a culture that they saw was being destroyed in Soviet Russia or shed their Russianess and become more “American” i.e. more “white.” How did this first wave of Russian emigres meet the challenge of otherness and assimilation? And what about the second wave of Russians who came after WWII? How did they navigate the Red Scare where Russian was equated with communist and the notions of Americanness had become more polarized? The Eurasian Knot spoke to the historian Nina Bogdan about her new book, Before We Disappear into Oblivion: San Francisco's Russian Diaspora from Revolution to Cold War, to get some insight.Guest:Nina Bogdan is a historian and cultural preservationist. She recently authored the “Russian American Historic Context Statement” for the San Francisco City Planning Department as part of the Citywide Cultural Resources Survey. She's the author of Before We Disappear into Oblivion: San Francisco's Russian Diaspora from Revolution to Cold War published by McGill-Queen's University Press.The article Rusana mentions on the history of Berkeley's Institute of Slavic Studies is here. However, the piece is about the historian Robert J. Kerner, not Nicholas Raisanovsky. Send us your sounds! PatreonKnotty News Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report: A pregnant woman in Tennessee is denied medical care under the state's Medical Ethics Defense Act—because she was unmarried, which conflicted with the clinic's so-called “Christian values.” We're joined by Zeteo News Editor-in-Chief Mehdi Hasan to discuss the mass starvation in Gaza, the ongoing Epstein cover-up, and his recent appearance on Jubilee's Surrounded. In the Fun Half: Andrew Cuomo appears on CNBC to reflect on losing the primary—and lays out a firm policy agenda focused on fearmongering, from anti-Semitism panic to Red Scare tactics. The chairman of the FCC openly calls for a media “course correction”—a not-so-subtle threat to align with the Trump agenda or risk cancellation.
