This a must-listen podcast for anyone curious about the whole QAnon phenomenon. Gabriel Gatehouse, distinguished BBC reporter and editor, first sets the stage -the Jan 6th insurrection- then traces back the origins of this idiotic conspiracy theory with a cast of colourful characters. Enter the Clinton administration and its many scandals, the first Internet chat groups in the early 1990s, televangelists, a Californian film maker and a satanic panic, ultra-rich donors and right-wing magazines, 4chan and 8chan (of course), and a whole bunch of other weirdos. The various storylines are told in consecutive episodes, and eventually all tied together, ending in a disturbing last note. It's a complicated, rich, and gripping story with a good narrative arc, and Gabriel Gatehouse manages to pull it off very nicely.Sound design and engineering are to BBC's exacting standards, and make for an excellent listen. Highly recommended!
