I'm a lifelong liberal going undercover as a hard-line right-winger, getting my news and politics as they do: from sources such as Fox News, Breitbart, and One America, ranging from the tame to the conspiratorial. Each episode, I look at news, propaganda, and narratives being pushed by the conservative media bubble, and examine them from a factual and liberal point of view as well as how they fit into the right's ultimate goal of authoritarianism. I also spotlight the weird and wacky aspects of the bubble in each episode's Alex Jones Award. Join me for the journey - it's gonna get interesting.
Episode 13 - It's the End of the World As They Know It
I dive into the history and goals of Christian dominionism, and detail their alignment with Project 2025 as well as a truly frightening endgame. I also find a political ad that ranks among the most absurdly racist commercials I've seen on TV.

Episode 12 - Illuminutti
I shed light on the origins and successes of a multitude of shadowy conservative organizations and the culmination of their ultimate plan to destroy American democracy - Project 2025. The return of the Alex Jones award is also heralded by a newly-famous politician's rather unique way of bonding with his teenage son.

Episode 11 - The Gun Show
I detail the bubble's coverage of the Nashville school shooting, which seems disjointed at first but eventually focuses on a single "dangerous" scapegoat. I also deliver a special commentary on guns, the 2nd Amendment, and their place in American society, as well as offering possible solutions to the country's epidemic of gun violence.

Episode 10 - Into the Tucker-Verse
I provide an overview of the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News, and what they are doing to try to distract their viewers from it. I also dive into Tucker Carlson's coverage of his "new" January 6th footage, finding that it isn't all he hyped it up to be. Finally, a rather strange take on a familiar song provides me with my first two-time Jonesie winner.

Episode 9 - A Soul for a Speaker
I detail the chaotic 15-vote congressional speakership race, as well as its coverage by Fox News and the implications of Kevin McCarthy's concessions to the MAGA caucus. I also briefly discuss the Biden documents case and the FTX fallout, and introduce a brand new children's book that turns up the heat in the upcoming GOP civil war.
21 Dec 2022
Episode 8 - Come All 'Ye Faithful
I examine the drama involving Kanye West's anti-Semitism over the last couple of months, including his Alex Jones interview, as well as the bubble's reaction to it and what it implies for the conservative movement in general. Donald Trump also provides us with the easiest Jonesie I've ever given out.
21 Nov 2022
Episode 7 - The Thin Red Wave
I discuss the midterm election results in the context of Moore v. Harper, as well as the bubble's coverage of the midterms before, during, and after Election Day. I also share a campaign ad for a well-known Republican candidate that makes a rather odd--and scary--claim.
5 Nov 2022
Episode 6 - The Polls Have Eyes
I examine the Arizona "poll watchers" and the attack on Paul Pelosi from the bubble's perspective, and the rising trend of normalization of political violence on the right. I also introduce the Tucker Carlson Formula for Political Gaslighting, as well as an alternate history novel that might be among the strangest and most offensive books any congressional candidate has ever written.
19 Oct 2022
Episode 5 - Lichtomania
After a monthlong unplanned hiatus, I dive into the recent changes at CNN, both in terms of personnel and content, brought on by its new boss Chris Licht, and explain how the new direction the network is taking further legitimizes the bubble's narrative. I also share a political ad aimed at the young demographic - with hilariously cringey results.
8 Sept 2022
Episode 4 - The Kids Are Alt Right
I examine the contents of Mike Huckabee's "Kids Guide to President Trump" and take a look at his educational publishing company, finding that its content is not necessarily meant to be marketed to its target audience. I also detail a children's book written by a former Trump official whose premise can only be described as "Onion-esque."
28 Aug 2022
Episode 3 - Stop the Real
I take a detailed look at Patriot Purge, the "documentary" on January 6th produced by Tucker Carlson, finding that he is using subliminal messaging to spread something far more sinister than a false narrative about the insurrection. I also find a trailer for a new Hunter Biden biopic that has the exact opposite effect of what it intended.
11 Aug 2022
Episode 2 - Raid Dawn
I examine the bubble's coverage of the search warrant conducted at Mar-A-Lago, finding that the right is using it as an excuse to go down a very dark path. I also discuss a Fox News anchor who is eerily obsessed with shoehorning something into his stories that definitely doesn't belong.
30 Jul 2022
Episode 1 - A Brief History of Conservatism
In the introductory episode of the new and improved Undercover Bubble, I define conservatism from an academic perspective and recap the history of conservative politics in the United States, from the 1700s to today, to discover how the far-right and the GOP became the way they are. I also attempt to dissect one of the wildest conspiracy theories ever conceived, courtesy of Alex Jones.
