Episode description

In this episode, Bradley explores the strange history of one of America's first home-grown fascist leaders - William Dudley Pelley - better known as "The Chief."  Along with Pelley biographer, Scott Beekman, Hart walks us through Pelley's life journey: starting as young journalist, then an author, a Hollywood screenwriter, a mystic, a publisher, a politician, and ultimately "The Chief" of an armed U.S. fascist movement in the 1930s known as the Silver Legion.
