THE FLAMETHROWERS tracks the rise of right wing radio from fringe preachers and conspiracy peddlers of the 1930s to the political firestorm that rages today. Its the story of how radio energized and then radicalized the conservative base, culminating with Donald Trump, the president who followed the conservative talk radio playbook all the way to the White House. Hosted by award-winning reporter and podcaster Justin Ling (The Village).

THE FLAMETHROWERS is the first installment in the RED, WHITE AND BLUE investigative trilogy which explores three different strands of radical extremism in North America and around the world. The trilogy will also include:

• BOYS LIKE ME (5 episodes) - Coming in November

In April 2018, a young man drove a van down the sidewalk of a busy Toronto street, killing 10 people and injuring 16. He was specifically targeting women. The Toronto van attack changed the life of Evan Mead, who went to high school with the attacker and suffered many of the same social challenges. Host Ellen Chloe Bateman joins Mead on a journey into the dark subcultures where young men are increasingly attracted to and radicalized by a new, supercharged form of violent misogyny.
