Extremely American Folgen

As the country heads toward the 2026 midterm elections, we're getting ready for Season 3 of Extremely American, coming early 2027. In the meantime, we're sharing an episode from our friends at A Whole Other Country, a podcast from Marfa Public Radio. Like Extremely American, A Whole Other Country explores what happens when fringe political movements collide with the real world.In this six-part series, reporter Zoe Kurland drives the bumpy roads of the Davis Mountains Resort to talk to neighbors, historians, eyewitnesses, and hostages about the real story of the Republic of Texas – and what happens when the myths of the frontier crash violently into reality. Here's the first episode.

Politics is the human story behind the headlines: our hopes, disagreements, choices and visions for what comes next. This fall, the American Storytelling Collection brings together six podcasts from the NPR Network that take a closer look at the people, power, conflicts and turning points behind American politics from every angle. Find the collection by searching 'American Storytelling' in Apple Podcasts or the NPR app.

Extremely American host Heath Druzin returns to Moscow, Idaho to give a talk about Christian nationalism and how American theocrats are now closer than ever to getting positions of power at the highest echelons of government.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
