PS: I’m no longer calling them the ‘alt-right’, fuck these people. They are Nazis. Period. That’s what they are, white-supremisits with a new name, so I’m not going to use it any longer.

Please don’t forget we are always open to suggestions to what you want us to kick around as a topic. Please see the “Suggestion Box” post for that (or feel free to leave a comment below with some ideas.) https://elevatingthegenre.wordpress.com/2016/09/16/first-blog-post/

We do record a visual version of the podcast as well. You can find all the episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBjmQjG5ol4xRGlo6VdaHw

As always our music is provided by: Nathan Bruynoghe
