This Week in Extremism will return as a podcast hosted here on Substack. There will be new interviews with experts on various topics related to the U.S. Radical Right, and guests will include journalists, researchers, and academics. Also, I’ll be posting the archived recordings of the This Week in Extremism Twitter Spaces, as well as previously recorded interviews with some exciting guests.

Since This Week in Extremism is leaving Twitter Spaces, what other video or audio platforms do you think would best facilitate audience engagement? Would you like This Week in Extremism to continue to be posted on Fridays? Who are experts you would like to hear from, or what are the topics you would like to hear about? Let me know your thoughts in the comments or feel free to send them in an email (radicalreportsnewsletter@gmail.com).
I'd like to learn about strategies for combatting extremism employed by the governments or grassroots organizations in other countries. What are they doing that we're not doing?
Is the federal government doing anything to address extremism? I've not seen a coherent and aggressive strategy. Is there a federal task force monitoring social media/other platforms to proactively identify and track extremist leaders?
Is there any reason that Biden can't ban or restrict Fox from 24/7 broadcasting at military bases?
How bad is extremism in the military? Is this an issue found mostly in young recruits, or is this a far more pervasive issue?
