THEME:
Anger, patriarchy, race, and power
America’s Drift Toward Fascism
This episode of NiteShift examines America’s long and ongoing relationship with fascism, racial violence, and authoritarian power—past and present. Through historical case studies, contemporary policy changes, media analysis, and speculative fiction, the conversation explores how racism, religion, capitalism, and state power intersect to shape lived reality in the U.S. The show also looks at how media—both traditional and social—frames public understanding, and how science fiction often reflects truths that mainstream discourse avoids.

These underpants are conveniently compressed into a compact pellet. Just soak them with water momentarily and, BAM, Instant Underpants!
Hey, Mike. Thanks for posting the clip. Over the last week or so, I’d been watching the listings to see if I could catch your appearance–but, hey, Rachel Ray turns my stomach, so I couldn’t bear watching TOO closely.:) When I was listening to BAI last night, I was was sorry to find out I had missed it. Bt thanks to you and the ‘Net, here it is.:) Maybe I’ll call the show one of these days–you and I see eye to eye on a lot of things, from films to soundtracks.:) Take care.
