In the second episode of Disinfomaniacs, we take a deep dive into the group of Christian Nationalists who staged a coup d'etat on January 28 and seized control of the executive committee of the Maine Republican Party. Andy O'Brien explains the background of new chairmen Joel Stetkis, while Nathan Bernard tells us about Heidi Sampson, whose votes and backers helped propel Stetkis to a landslide victory over the incumbent party chair Demi Kouzounas. And Crash has a long conversation with Vice-Chair Sam Bridges, the newly elected 18-year-old self-described Christian Nationalist who came out of nowhere to win the second-in-command position.

The Crash Program
Season One of the Crash Program is "Devils and Dirtbags," an investigation of the child molesting Catholic priests of Springfield, Massachusetts. Season Two, "Tough Island," is a dramatic and comedic audio version of Crash's memoir of living and working Maine's most remote uninhabited island when he was a much younger man. Season Three is Disinfomaniacs with Andy O'Brien (and occasionally Nathan Bernard) where they take a closer look at chuds, Christian-Nationalists and other weirdos in Maine.
