On July 27th, 1996, a domestic terrorist bombed the Summer Olympic Games held in Atlanta, GA. While the FBI and the media fixated on the wrong man, the bomber planned his next, more overtly political attacks on 2 abortion clinics and a gay nightclub. The bomber would later be identified as a dedicated soldier in the white-supremacist Christian Identity Movement. Through the lens of these 4 bombings, and the victims left to pick up the pieces, Flashpoint explores America's greatest threat, the political and religious radicalization of homegrown terrorists.

Expertly crafted podcast. Did a great job connecting all the dots, and weaving an intricate story with beautiful language and writing. Really enjoyed it. Especially the part where the bombings were connected to a larger, incredibly dangerous, far right militant conservative “Christian” movement in the USA. History repeats itself, and we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past if we do not learn from them.
Interesting until they equate conservatives with far right terrorists

The first 7 episodes were pretty interesting, but in the 8th episode they basically bashed anyone who is right of center. If you’re against abortion apparently you’re just like the guy who bombed the Olympics. Skip if you don’t want to support people who hate you.
Keep politics out

This was a great podcast until it became political. Disappointing.

The political one sided opinions took over. The subject of this podcast is in the past. Why are current events being brought into it. If your going to bring current topics and events both sides are guilty of the same rhetoric.
