6-13-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Arraignment Day with Jeff Sharlet

    https://media.zencastr.com/audio-files/5e0cc41aa9798f001400ff98/ef08fab0-a06d-483b-84cf-78a9f97a7c47.mp3     Jeff Sharlet has been alerting the rest of us to the more frightening aspects of the fringes of society for many years and eight books by now. His new one is THE UNDERTOW: SCENES FROM A SLOW CIVIL WAR. I asked Jeff to join us on today's show because, as I write this, the former guy is in a Miami Federal Court, pleading Not Guilty to 37 criminal counts -- 31 of willful retention of national security records and 6 counts of obstruction. History is being made, for sure. But then there's the question of [...]

They both work. Jeff has been a favorite author and guest of mine since he gave us THE FAMILY back in 2008, and has been pulling the curtain from around the Christian nationalist movement and the many offshoots of what I call insanity, though Jeff is far more charitable. He gets out among these people and [...]

11-30-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Jeff Sharlet’s Wisconsin Death Trip

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) The trial of five members of the Oath Keepers wrapped up yesterday with guilty verdicts, including on the harshest charge of seditious conspiracy for the group's leader and one other. It's the perfect preface for today's guest and the story he brings us. Jeff Sharlet is one of my favorite guests and one of my favorite authors/journalists. This morning, his new article went live on the Vanity Fair, and it's what you expect from a Jeff Sharlet piece set in one of [...]

10-12-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Four Weeks Out Jeff Sharlet Weighs In

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   One of the best parts of this job is that I get to speak with some amazing people. I first met Jeff Sharlet over a decade ago when I interviewed him for his brilliant book, "The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power." The book, and the one that followed, C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy are the basis of the Netflix series, "The Family." They detail the very secretive but omnipresent religious group that somehow straddles [...]

1-7-22 Nicole Sandler Show – One Week Down, Jeff Sharlet Returns

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) We made it through the first week of 2022, but the country seems to be further divided than ever. And the other side is delusional, claiming that January 6, 2021 was just another day. We'll continue reviewing some of yesterday's madness on today's show, and then welcome Jeff Sharlet back to the show. Jeff is a Dartmouth professor, a journalist who got inside The Family (and C Street) and wrote two books, subsequently the basis of a Netflix docuseries about the religious organization [...]

6-30-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Opposite World Thrives and Jeff Sharlet Too

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)     I often return to the theme of opposite world, where we appear to be stuck. That Bill Cosby walked out of prison today, his conviction overturned, is proof that we're in opposite world. Hearing Republican members of Congress explain why a commission investigating the January 6 insurrection is unnecessary, seeing the former guy at the border pretending to be in a position of authority, Jim Clyburn again working to sabotage the campaign of a progressive Democrat... I could keep going, but [...]

3-17-21 Nicole Sandler Show – A Year Lost to Covid with Jeff Sharlet

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   Today marks one year since Covid-19 was officially found in every one of the 50 United States, just days before we went into an almost complete lockdown to try to stop its spread. Obviously, the US didn't do a great job, as we've lost more than half a million lives in the US alone, and it's still killing people. Unfortunately, too many don't take the situation seriously enough and spring break is likely to bring about yet another surge. Just when we're [...]

6-24-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Jeff Sharlet explains the Cult of Trump

Download here or click below to play   It's another crazy, busy news day in America... We'll bring you up to date on what's happening, as far as I can explain it! Today's guest is author and professor Jeff Sharlet. The man who gave us The Family about the very creepy religious zealotry rampant in Washington DC reports from some of Trump's rallies, and fills us in on the levels of crazy embraced by his followers, a story he wrote for Vanity Fair in a piece titled "Inside the Cult of Trump". Today's funny was more poignant than funny, from [...]

4-15-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Getting Personal with Jeff Sharlet

Download here or click below to play   After Bernie Sanders dropped his presidential bid last week, I read a perfectly-pitched rant from author/journalist/college professor Jeff Sharlet that articulated much of what I was feeling. I didn't have time to read the whole thing on the show today, so here it is, as Jeff wrote it on Facebook I had been meaning to invite Jeff Sharlet back to the show to discuss his new book, This Brilliant Darkness anyway-- so we'll discuss all of that and much more today! As usual, we start the show with something funny, and bring [...]
