This podcast explores the intersection of pop culture and history. We'll take a look at how American movies, comic books and television shows have dealt with extreme hate groups like Nazis and the KKK. That means movies like Indiana Jones, Star Wars and characters like Superman. But we'll also be talking about some lesser known heroes who took on these villains.

In this introduction episode, we'll introduce ourselves and explain the concept of the show.

Fighting Yanks co-host Caitlin Lukin composed and recorded our in and out music. Designer Audrey Raymond created our logo. This episode also features clips from the song "Don't Leave Me Daddy" by Marion Harris.
