A few audiobooks to fill the KF void
Hi friends, wonky Librarian here. I wanted to share some fantastic audiobooks (also available in print, of course) that have helped fill scratch the KF itch for me. These five titles provide incredible context for the environment in which InfoWars was created and in which Alex Jones continues to peddle his bullshits. Even when Jones/InfoWars isn't specifically mentioned, there are nods in that direction and everything here helps better understand how he - and we - got to where we are right now.
