In the debut episode of DeepDive with Freya Zank, we unpack the full scope of Project 2025 and the executive orders signed during Trump’s first month in office, exploring how they intersect. We also delve into Balaji Srinivasan's book, The Network State: How to Start a New Country, and examine how bots, algorithms, trad wives, and podcasters influence America’s shift toward the alt-right.

Main theme music composition is by Nick Stanger.
