Autocracy in America

Autocracy in America

Autocracy in America is back with season two โ€“ I wish I were recommending a Netflix series here. But this is for real. The podcast by The Atlantic once again puts the spotlight on authoritarian tactics that are already at work in the United States. This new season is hosted by Garry Kasparov, chess grandmaster and exiled Russian dissident. (Disclaimer: This recommendation is based on the first five episodes. I haven’t yet listened to the one with Springer CEO Mathias Dรถpfner.)
