My guest this week is Dave Infante, a reporter in Charleston, South Carolina, who recently wrote a piece for Mel Magazine about the curious intersection of White Claw drinking culture and the right-wing militant boogaloo movement. If that sounds bewildering and niche, then strap in.

You might want to hear more from Dave after listening to this episode, in which case I recommend you sign up for Dave's newsletter at fingers.substack.com.
