Summary

TENE examine the Mazdaznan cult's most (in)famous disciple in America, C. Leon de Aryan and his bizarre racist newspaper, The Broom. We follow De Aryan's career from publlisher of "San Diego's Progressive Weekly", to being a defendant in the Sedition Trial of 1944 and his later connections to the post-war white supremacist movement and Christian Identity. --- Subscribe to https://patreon.org/tenepod https://bsky.app/profile/tenepod.bsky.social https://x.com/tenepod
