This week, a story from our neighbors at North Country Public Radio. If All Else Fails is a recent podcast about the growing presence — and threat — of far-right extremism in northern New York, and the voters and local law enforcement that are engaging with the movement there.

You can learn more about the series here. That’s also where you can find photos from NCPR’s reporting, and listen to the rest of the series.

Heads up: The show contains some harsh language and some listeners might find certain parts of this episode disturbing.

This episode was reported by Emily Russell and Zach Hirsch for North Country Public Radio, with grant support from Grist and the Center for Rural Strategies. A big thanks to NCPR for letting us share their show here.
