Hi guys, this is Aswin Tsub Singh, but please call me Swit, and welcome to The Daily Beast's Fever Dreams.

Hi, I'm Will Summer, a politics reporter at The Daily Beast, where I dig into all the darkest recesses of American extremism and extremely online militants.

I'm writing a book on Puanon and its disastrous impact on our society.

I'm also a senior political reporter at The Beast and co-author of the book Sinking in the

swamp. I've spent years covering the intersection of entertainment and politics. And in the post-Trump

era, that seems like the only sensible way to cover politics in this beautiful, hideously stupid

country of ours. On this podcast, we're going to take you on deeply reported plunges into the sometimes

hilarious, sometimes frightening movement that's turning our political landscape into a

dysfunctional madhouse.

We'll take you inside the rights push to retake power from the conspiracy slingers to the

Maga Acolytes to the straight-up grifters.

Thought the Trump era was insane?

Wait until you hear what they have planned next.

We're here to help you better understand how and why this is happening.

And who in positions of power is letting it happen?

The conditions that led to Trump's political rise and all the hell that came with it

are still with us today.

And the Republican Party is ready for it all to happen again.

Along the way, we'll also regularly bring on guests with long-time experience in national

politics, some hard-nosed political reporters, and influential voices from Hollywood and entertainment

spheres. Every once in a while, you might also hear from some familiar faces from the trenches

of Trumpland and the veterans of the Democratic corridors of power.
