The INSURGENCE:
SHERIFFS
(2024)
SERIES DESCRIPTION
The Insurgence: Sheriffs is a podcast series, that uncovers how a national network of far-right sheriffs is mobilizing to create a White Christian republic, one county at a time. The series features first-hand accounts from people across the country who have come up against the sometimes-fatal consequences from the unchecked power of county sheriffs and their growing alignment with the new Far Right. The Insurgence: Sheriffs is created and hosted by investigative reporter and Political Research Associates (PRA) Research Director Cloee Cooper, and co-executive produced by PRA and Cuentero Productions.
