Encouraged by the intimate nature of audio broadcasting, low barriers to entry and lax oversight from podcasting platforms, extremist podcasting has grown from a niche of the far-right to a sprawling web of white supremacists who regularly appear on one another’s shows, the report reveals.

Just ask white nationalist Richard Spencer, who came to fame in the first two years of the Trump presidency as the leader of the so-called “alt-right” movement. He co-hosts a podcast every month.

“I like podcasting for this very reason,” Spencer said, describing the cozy atmosphere as "friendship nationalism."

Journo supremacists are abusing Yahoo.com, so we should ban it.

sprawling web of white supremacists

Just as white nationalist Richard Spencer

They always use white supremacist and white nationalist interchangeably, and fucking lol at "a sprawling web of white supremacists."

Listening to extreme, right-wing radio is a clandestine activity, and being able to have these recordings that you can play on a personal device through your earbuds is so important to these groups.”

Literally implying that the government or some other body of people should be able to prevent Americans from sharing audio files if they deem the content objectionable.
