Join the creator of the hit podcast The Coming Storm Gabriel Gatehouse for a riveting deep dive into the roots of Q Anon and the rise of the extreme right in the US.

Is this how democracy dies?

Gabriel Gatehouse’s The Coming Storm was the biggest podcast on BBC Sounds: an essential guide to the conspiracy theories tearing America apart. Now he joins us live and via livestream ahead of the most important presidential election of our time with some dark truths about our present and ominous insights into the future.

Gabriel will take us down a rabbit hole – one that both the US as a nation and he as a journalist fell through – to unpack an epochal shift in political culture that starts in the earliest years of the Clinton administration and reached a crescendo on 6 January 2021 with the storming of the US Capitol. But that event wasn’t the wild finale of a chaotic Trump presidency many hoped for – it was only the beginning.

Drawing on a compelling mix of research and reportage, Gabriel will get under the skin of these conspiracy theories to show us a radical new kind of politics emerging, a movement that has coalesced around a loose alliance of tech bros, internet trolls and white supremacists.

Don’t miss this chance to get the inside scoop on a profoundly serious threat to democracy from one of the leading broadcasters of our time – and find out what we can do about it.
