All Out Attack Podcast w/ Harry Robinson

My guest today is Danielle Phelps, a woman born into the Westboro Baptist Church - the outspoken and controversial religious sect in America that was founded by Danielle's grandfather; Pastor Fred Phelps.

Whilst Danielle left the church, it is still in operation today at the church's compound in Topeka, Kansas. The Phelps family have been referred to as "the most hated family in America", notorious for their loathing of homosexuality, celebration of tragedies and picketing of funerals - particularly those of soldiers who died in combat.

Danielle is now an openly gay woman and a former US marine - everything her family stood against. At her house only five minutes away from where she grew up, accompanied by her supportive girlfriend Autumn and a wandering kitten, I connected with an inspirational person that had to overcome indoctrination and sacrifice family to be true to who she is. I hope you enjoy.

Katy Morgan-Davies - #8

My guest today is Katy Morgan Davies, a woman born into the Workers' Institute of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought, a communist cult based in South London that enslaved her, indoctrinated her and kept her inside for the first 30 years of her life with no understanding or exposure to the outside world.

Her father was Aravindan Balakrishnan; the despotic cult leader, and her mother Sian Davies, a brainwashed cult member. Though her parents, they told their daughter that she was a test tube baby with no mother, father or relatives.

Accompanying us on the call is John Hales, a man Katy describes as her real father - who has life stories to tell in his own right.

Equipped with a microphone, access to a friend's premium Zoom account and a lockdown laissez faire hairstyle; I sat down with a woman who is the embodiment of resilience and compassion. I hope you enjoy.

Neo-Nazi Burt Colucci - #10

My guest today is Commander Burt Colucci, a self-proclaimed neo-Nazi and head of the National Socialism Movement in the US - the largest and most active Nazi group in North America.

The group itself is officially classified as a hate group, with the organisation regularly holding rallies where they wear SS uniforms and proudly display banners with the Nazi swastika branded on it. They believe in total white supremacy and, whilst they claim not to incite violence, the aim of the group is to get into power and impose racial policies such as segregation and deportation.

I wanted to sit down with Burt as I wholeheartedly disagree with his abhorrent views. However, I wanted to see if it was possible to conversate without prejudice with someone whose entire belief system is prejudicial. In an interview that borders on a longform debate, that contains potentially offensive racial language and some outlandish claims, Burt and I walked the line between rational conversation and sheer bafflement.

I hope you enjoy.
