Episode 22: The Brainwashing of my Dad with Jen Senko

Description

About This Episode

In this insightful episode, Jen and I trace her father's complex journey through the rabbit hole of conservative mass media and his eventual return. Guided by the profound insight that "we don't see things as they are, we see things as we are", we utilize theories as lenses to interpret and understand new phenomena. We also discuss approaches proposed by Steve Hassan and Jim Stewartson, and how the complexities of radicalization and deradicalization might necessitate a broader spectrum of perspectives.
