In this episode we have an engaging discussion with Daniel Harper host of the anti-fascist podcast 'I Don't Speak German' about his experience covering the Far Right and what constitutes responsible engagement/coverage of various online figures.
We cover the role of political perspectives when examining online figures, the use of social media by far right figures, and the use and abuse of political categories. We also cover some potential criticisms with the DTG approach and in so doing answer an eternal question of the ages: 'Are we the baddies?'
Join us for a fun discussion while accepting our apologies for the self-indulgence of an episode that, to some extent, involves us talking about... ourselves. We will be back with a full Guru episode very soon!

1:00.4 | And Daniel does something somewhat similar to what we do in focusing on characters and |
1:06.9 | particular personalities, but I guess is looking more at the political spectrum and of course the extreme right hand side of that |
1:17.1 | spectrum. How else would you describe Daniel and I don't speak to him Chris? |
1:21.5 | Yeah so Daniel looks into the darker side of the web |
