From the occult side of Victorian racism to electric Nazis with dinosaur fetishes to cat sex for Hitler. With the help of Adam and Huw from the We Don't Talk About The Weather podcast, we bring you the bizarre idiocy of esoteric fascism and - when we're done laughing - get into the whys and hows of far-right weirdness and why it dangerously appeals to far too many.
