Description
Freedom Over Fascism is hosted by Dr. Stephanie Gerber Wilson. She and her guests provide analysis, history, context, and insight on the US today, focusing on the history and culture of the United States, the history we've forgotten or is being willfully erased, and the imagination it'll take to build the Free America of our dreams. The podcast was founded January 2023 and is now part of the Democracy Group and Banner and Backbone. Both are networks bringing together podcasters and creators who are pro-democracy activists.
