Fighter and journalist Tom Usher returns to the show this week to explain how far right politics took over Mixed Martial Arts, and the unique media strategy employed by the UFC to quash dissent and insert itself as a dominant political force in America. Tom talks about the way violence and suffering has been exploited by the Trump administration to advance its own political aims, while also creating endless spectacles and distractions for his supporters. Tom also talks about his new project, Tangible Vibe Shift, and the challenge of explaining how and why daily life feels so strange and melancholic.
