U.S. Capitol Insurrection Unpacked In ‘The Assault On America’ Podcast

Iheartmedia Presents The Assault On America [official Podcast Artwork]

iHeart podcast network Cool Zone Media’s podcast, “The Assault On America”, unpacks the U.S. Capitol Insurrection.

On January 5th, Bellingcat investigator and expert on the far right Robert Evans published a report warning of serious action in Washington, D.C. the next day.

Now, almost a year later, Evans digs into the events of January 6th in forensic detail, identifying key players who spread disinformation and helped to create a riot.

He traces the stories of instigators, militia leaders, and far right influencers, and he unpicks a mighty disinformation campaign that was years in the making.

As Evans journeys deep into the digital fever swamp, he considers a crucial question: was the storming of the U.S. Capitol the final convulsion of a dying movement? Or was it the first shot in a new civil war?

The series is written and co-produced by one of the United Kingdom’s leading independent podcast companies, Novel.
