If you thought that the departure of former president Donald Trump would make the American political landscape any less radical, ludicrous, or downright scary – you were wrong. From the sustained prevalence of MAGA acolytes to the ongoing rise in conspiracy theorists, grifters, and agitators, the political landscape continues to be dominated by the types of people who you would avoid on the subway. Luckily, our Fever Dreams podcast has everything you need to know about the right’s push to retake power.

Today marks the official one-year anniversary of Fever Dreams. Since its inception, our hosts and a bevy of insightful guests have tracked all the moves and machinations of America’s new right wing. From eyebrow-raising headlines and cringeworthy controversies to general moments of ignorance and absurdity, the show has shined a necessary spotlight on our current political hellscape.
