Added 2022-10-24 15:31:10 +0000 UTC

In this outstanding conversation, we talk with journalist Michael Fox about the rise of Fascism in Brazil, Bolsonaro, the impending runoff elections, the rise of Evangelicalism, the role of the US in these processes, and much more! We make sure to give plenty of historical background on these current events, so whether you're listening for the history or for analysis of the present, we know you'll enjoy this conversation. We are also lucky to be joined by our friend and comrade Professor Stuart Davis, a researcher of and specialist in comparative media systems in Brazil, as a guest host.
