About this episode

January 6 rioters have been held together in a segregated wing of the D.C. jail, which they came to call the “Patriot Pod.” They developed their own rituals and inside jokes and, over time, radicalized one another. We follow a young rioter from the Patriot Pod who went into jail a mischievous goofball and emerged willing to die for MAGA.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
