This week’s episode revolves around two political hot topics at the Alpbach Forum in Austria: how Europe should manage the growth of far-right politics across the Continent, and whether to support proposals from the presidents of Serbia and Kosovo to redraw their borders.

POLITICO news editor Andrew Gray explains how to read the taboo-breaking border idea from former enemies Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and Kosovo President Hashim Thaçi — and why the EU is cautious.

Julia Ebner, author of The Rage, gives a fascinating interview: She takes you inside far-right parties and networks, how they organize, why they appeal to certain people, and what we can expect from Steve Bannon’s “ability to be a chaos agent” as he moves into the fringes of European politics ahead of the 2019 European Parliament election. “I believe it’s important to speak to people we disagree with, even on the fringes,” Ebner said.

Ebner followed the organizing of the deadly 2017 Charlottesville rally from the inside, joined far-rights events in the U.K., and monitored efforts to influence the politics of Italy and Sweden among others. She says that the European far right is copying the alt-right movement in the U.S. — using new technologies, “memetic warfare,” and popular culture to reach potential supporters and bridge their own deep ideological divides.

The podcast panel of Lina Aburous and Alva Finn discuss whether the Iran nuclear deal should hold.

Finally we give an EU Thumbs Up to a new Brussels street name initiative.
