  • William F. Buckley’s Cure for Political Hatred

    William F. Buckley’s Cure for Political Hatred
    May 28 2026
    On this episode of the Beyond Barriers podcast, former National Socialist Movement leader turned anti-extremism advocate Jeff Schoep sits down with author and columnist Josh Cohen to discuss Cohen’s book, William F. Buckley Jr.'s Guide to Friendship in a Polarized Era.

    The conversation explores how William F. Buckley Jr. cultivated meaningful friendships with ideological opponents during one of the most politically turbulent periods in modern American history and what those relationships can teach a deeply fractured society today.

    Cohen examines Buckley’s views on decency, forgiveness, humor, faith, tribalism, and intellectual seriousness, arguing that Buckley offered an antidote to the nihilism and hyper-polarization defining contemporary culture.

    You do not want to miss this one!

    Walking Away From Hate: 2 Stories, 1 Conversation
    Feb 22 2026
    In this episode of #BeyondBarriers, we sit down for a real, #unfilteredconversation about leaving the white power movement & coming from two very different paths.

    We read excerpts from our books, reflect on what it took to face our pasts, and talk about the weight that comes with telling the #truth out loud. Writing these stories wasn’t easy. Living them was harder.

    This conversation goes beyond headlines and assumptions. It’s about #accountability, #identity, #healing, and what it actually looks like to walk away from something that once defined your life.

    Mar 6 2022
    Jeff Schoep & Acacia Dietz interview Dr. Criag McCann discussing the controversy over his recent article "Beware the Anti-Fascists, for they have become what they oppose." (https://beyondbarriersusa.org/beware-the-anti-fascists-for-they-have-become-what-they-oppose/) and the importance of challenging all forms of political violence regardless of the ideological motivation. Dr Craig McCann is an independent specialist adviser and researcher. As the Director of S.P.E.C.T.R.U.M. (Strategic Preventative Expertise to Counter Terrorism Risks using Upstream Measures) Universal Ltd. he provides consultative services for domestic clients and international development programmes with an emphasis on preventative counter terrorism strategy and delivery. He also writes, advises, lectures and provides commentary on the U.K. Prevent strategy, de-radicalisation / disengagement programming, online approaches to counter terrorism and responses to right wing extremism. Dr McCann holds a Law Degree and an MA in Criminology from the University of Kent at Canterbury. At the same university he completed his PhD which explored how the U.K. Prevent Strategy has been applied to right wing extremism since 2011. He subsequently converted this thesis into a book titled “The Prevent Strategy and Right-Wing Extremism: A Case Study of the English Defence League” which has been published as part of the Routledge Extremism and Democracy range. (https://www.routledge.com/The-Prevent-Strategy-and-Right-wing-Extremism-A-Case-Study-of-the-English/McCann/p/book/9781138320673) In this episode we discuss Dr McCann's article and more.
