Timothy Denevi is the author of Freak Kingdom: Hunter S. Thompson's Manic Ten-Year Crusade Against American Fascism. On the show we discuss legendary Hunter Thompson's politics as expressed in his gonzo journalism, his letters, interviews and audio recordings. We go through Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter's third-party run for sheriff, his stance on the Second Amendment, and what he thought about various American politicians -- including Richard Nixon, George McGovern, John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Hubert Humphrey, Barry Goldwater & George W. Bush. Denevi also gives his thoughts on whether or not Matt Taibbi is the modern-day Hunter S. Thompson.

Guest-starring Robbo as Hunter S. Thompson.
