Today’s guest is Gabriel Gatehouse, international editor of Newsnight and presenter of the new BBC Sounds podcast series The Coming Storm.

The podcast looks at the origins and meaning of the QAnon conspiracy theory, from its antecedents in history, through its beginnings on 4chan, to the January 6th 2021 occupation of the Capitol by Q-pilled Trump supporters.

And have America and Russia taken two very different paths…. to ultimately end up in the same place?
