Why listen

Red Scare is a sharp, deliberately provocative culture podcast built around Anna Khachiyan and Dasha Nekrasova riffing on politics, art, fashion, media scandals, celebrity drama, and internet discourse. The appeal is the chemistry: long, loose conversations that feel like downtown cultural gossip filtered through contrarian theory and deadpan comedy. It is best for listeners who want opinionated pop-cultural commentary with an abrasive, literate, inside-baseball edge.
