I love Robert Evans. This podcast isn't dissimilar to his work but it does have some sympathy for the Bundy family. Or at least doesn't paint them as out and out assholes. It explains their grievances. But the second season is pretty much just about white nationalists and how the Bundy occupation and Ruby Ridge have influenced them

Thanks for the response

I hope I run into Robert around town, I'd like to thank him for all all his quality content and hard work. He's been a pillar during the protests. I think my 9 year old daughter has a crush on him.

I loved his audiobook The War on Everyone, it was the first time someone really laid out for me the genealogy of American fascism.

A podcast called Behind the Bastards has no business being as good as it is. I've also had some fun with Worst Year Ever

His Twitter is a great resource for what's going on in Portland too
