America & The Punisher

We now have many ways to tell the story of America's tilt towards authoritarianism, but for your host one image sums up the whole sordid business: a mashup of Donald Trump and the Marvel comic book character The Punisher. In this episode we talk with Kent Worcester, author of a new cultural history of the Punisher . It's a conversation about America's fascination with, and attraction to, a black and white vision of justice and vengeance.
