Journalist Michael Edison Hayden spent years tracking extremism in America. His new book, “Strange People on the Hill,” is about what happened when a far-right group moved its headquarters to a small town in rural West Virginia. In this episode of Settle In, he spoke with Amna Nawaz about the story and what it can teach us about politics in the U.S. right now. Hayden also shares the personal toll this work has taken on his own mental health and relationships.
Note: This episode was recorded before the April 25 shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
