Extremely American

This podcast takes you inside the world of the ascendant Patriot Movement. Meet the militia members and far-right activists who are simultaneously preparing to fight the government and become part of it. Nearly a year after the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot, this once-shadowy movement has never been more relevant.

Extremely American on Boise State Public Radio is presented in partnership with Postindustrial Media LLC.
