This hour we talk about the history of the Second Red Scare, a period also known as McCarthyism.
We learn about why the Scare took off in the United States, its impact, and how it eventually fizzled out. Plus, we’ll look at the parallels and throughlines between that time period and our current moment.
And, a look at how the Second Red Scare impacted Hollywood, and how it, in turn, was reflected back through the movies.
