I was joined by Talia Lavin for this episode, the author of Culture Warlords & writer of the very interesting’The Sword And the Sandwich’ substack. Find her on twitter @swordsjew
We chat about the history of food & fascism and how similar patterns and themes still show up in the modern political landscape.
