Red Scare is an American cultural commentary podcast founded in 2018[1] and hosted by Anna Khachiyan and Dasha Nekrasova in New York City.
Content
Moscow-born Khachiyan[2] and Belarus-born Nekrasova critique Neoliberalism and Feminism in a manner both comedic and serious in tone. They also cover current topics in American culture and politics.[3] Conversations range from ISIS to the social media use of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to call-out culture.[2]
The show has been associated with the "dirtbag left."[4][5][6][7] It has been described in The Cut as "a critique of Feminism, and capitalism, from deep inside the culture they’ve spawned."[3] Several notable celebrities, artists, politicians, and cultural commentators have appeared on Red Scare, including Natasha Stagg, Juliana Huxtable, Tulsi Gabbard, Caroline Calloway, Angela Nagle, Ross Douthat, Ariana Reines, Steve Bannon [8], and Glenn Greenwald.
Nekrasova and Khachiyan have hosted the show at The Green Space at WNYC & WQXR for a live broadcast on NPR and in September 2019, interviewed social media influencer Caroline Calloway live at the Bell House in Brooklyn.[9]
