The Flamethrowers
Gepresenteerd door CBC
“The Flamethrowers” vangt de rauwe, recht-voor-z’n-raap energie en het geluid van rechtse praatradio. Presentator Justin Ling neemt je mee van de randfiguren—predikers en complotdenkers uit de jaren 1920—tot de politieke storm die vandaag woedt. Met humor en openheid onderzoekt Ling de aantrekkingskracht van radiomakers zoals Rush Limbaugh, die een sluimerend publiek wist wakker te maken, het radicaliseerde en uitgroeide tot een onverwachte kingmaker—met als hoogtepunt de verkiezing van Donald Trump.
