This episode was originally released on August 18, 2022. In this
encore presentation, host Reed Galen is joined by author,
journalist, and QAnon expert Mike Rothschild to discuss how the
QAnon conspiracy theory grew to be in the forefront of American
political discourse, why it resonated so fervently with such a
large percentage of the population, and how it continues to infect
our nation’s culture today. Plus, is there a prescription to get
the QAnon devout to “snap out of it” and denounce the conspiracy?
For more on this, be sure to pick up Mike Rothschild’s latest book,
The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and
Conspiracy Theory of Everything, now available in paperback.
