Reaction Podcast
Hosted by Mike From
An international anti-fascist show where three hosts analyze the history and methods of right-wing online content creators and political figures.
This is a left-wing commentary podcast that acts as a watchdog for the online right. Each episode typically focuses on a single figure or movement—from historical groups like the John Birch Society to contemporary creators like Candace Owens and Alex Jones—using a mix of historical analysis and media criticism to deconstruct their arguments. The three hosts from different national backgrounds (American, Bulgarian, and Norwegian) bring a distinct international perspective to primarily American political discourse.
“Unlike many reaction-style podcasts, this show grounds its analysis in deep historical context, tracing modern right-wing talking points back to their ideological roots. The international trio of hosts also provides a unique, non-US-centric lens on American political phenomena.”

What you'll be asked on this show

The format is a conversational back-and-forth between the multiple hosts and the guest, allowing for jokes and asides while still guiding the discussion through a structured line of inquiry.
The show alternates between co-host discussions, narrative-documentary episodes that break down a single figure's methods, and occasional long-form interviews. The hosts maintain a conversational and often humorous tone, using soundbites and clips of their subjects as fodder for analysis.
