23 Jan 20212: Virus of the Mind: Qanon and Russian Reflexive Control01:04:53

On January 6th, Ashli Babbit, noted Qanon adherent, flew to DC. shot in the storming of The Capitol. People might be wondering how something as bizarre as Pizzagate has morphed into a large-scale security threat; a threat on the level of ethnic conflict seen in worn torn countries. I get to speak with Eric Brichetto, a software developer, and emerging disinformation researcher. We discuss the more insidious origins of the Qanon conspiracy theory and why it is so hard to dissuade certain parts of the American public from adopting these beliefs.



*Correction In this episode, we claimed that Rastorguev’s work was sponsored and approved by the public relations arm of the KGB. It was later discovered that he had the endorsement of the security committee of the state duma, the lower house of the federal assembly of Russia.

23 Feb 2021The Fitness World's Far Right Problem01:37:59

Research suggests that identity-based goals are great for ensuring long-term success. But what if the identity you've constructed involves harmful elements that have nothing to do with fitness, and everything to do with hate? In this episode, I sit down with Urban Antonio, a personal trainer of over two decades who has seen the rise of the far-right in the wellness industry.

23 Apr 2024Episode 22: The Brainwashing of my Dad with Jen Senko01:20:27

About This Episode

In this insightful episode, Jen and I trace her father's complex journey through the rabbit hole of conservative mass media and his eventual return. Guided by the profound insight that “we don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are”, we utilize theories as lenses to interpret and understand new phenomena. We also discuss approaches proposed by Steve Hassan and Jim Stewartson, and how the complexities of radicalization and deradicalization might necessitate a broader spectrum of perspectives.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” It’s been [ ] years since Jung wrote those words, and [ ] years since Dostoyevsky’s shame and sin emerged in “Demons.” 

 

What can the threat assessment community and analysts themselves learn from shame? 

 

In this episode, I speak with Far Right analyst  Matt Kriner, on shame as a human universal, and it’s role in the recruitment and radicalization process.

10 Feb 2021Episode 3: Red Pill, Blue Pill: How to Counteract the Conspiracy Theories That Are Killing Us.01:21:23

On March 4th, Qanon adherents will flock to D.C. to support what they believe will be Trump’s “true inauguration.” The March 4th date is a Sovereign Citizen conspiracy that dovetails with followers anticipation of “the storm.” Trump, on-brand, has increased the prices for his hotel stay for this date. In this episode journalist, OG Glitterpill member, & friend David Neiwert and I talk about how conspiracy theories operate, the harms they cause, the role journalists can play in reducing their circulation. We also discuss how a trans allegory in a popular 90’s film mutated to a far right recruitment mechanism.

15 Jan 20211: The Allure of Hypermasculinity and Approximating Whiteness Among Black and Brown Proud Boys01:26:25

Figures like Candace Owens Ben Shapiro are routinely discussed in the news. We can talk about them and the anger they hope to evoke, but I feel there are more fruitful conversations to be had. As a Jewish female scholar who has interviewed Proud Boys of color, I got to have a different conversation with Dr. Robert L. Reece. In this first episode of the Glitterpill podcast, we talk about what Proud Boys of Color identify with when they identify with "The West" and the long term harms of this identification.

17 Feb 2025AGING LIKE A FINE WINE - Enrique Tarrio Interview I The Glitterpill Podcast I Episode 3001:01:23

🎙️ Aging Like a Fine Wine: A Historic Conversation with Enrique Tarrio & Samantha Kutner

 

🔥 A Pivotal Moment for Enrique Tarrio & the Future of Extremist Movements

For the first time ever, Enrique Tarrio and Samantha Kutner sit down for a candid discussion about his next steps after the January 6th trial and the Proud Boys’ trademark loss to a historic Black church. Tarrio insists he’s aging like a fine wine—but let’s just say there’s some debate over whether the cork is still on.

 

This episode explores what happens when extremist leaders face legal and ideological reckonings, the leadership voids and fractures in far-right movements, and what this all means for radicalization, disengagement, and accountability.

 

💡 What You'll Discover in This Episode

🔹 Tarrio’s reflections on the trial, the trademark case, and his next steps

🔹 The impact of legal consequences on far-right organizing

🔹 How extremist movements struggle with leadership voids and rebranding
