Front Burner Presents: The Flamethrowers Ep. 1

  • Summary

  • Award-winning reporter Justin Ling tracks the rise of right wing radio in the U.S. from fringe preachers and conspiracy peddlers of the 1930s to the political firestorm that rages today. Our story begins with Canadian priest Charles Coughlin — a populist crusader who winds up espousing conspiracy and hate. Right-wing radio flexes its muscle with a boycott of Polish Ham. And the Kennedy government almost wipes right-wing talk off the map.


    The Flamethrowers was originally produced in 2021. More episodes of The Flamethrowers are available here.
