My guest is Brace Belden, an organizer, an infamous shitposter and co-host of the TrueAnon podcast ‪@TrueAnonPod‬

I’ve spent the last few years interviewing young people who make radical posts online and later find their way into real world politics. Irony and humor play a huge role in this process. For the first episode, I wanted to talk to one of my favorite posters who has also lived his politics in the real world.
