About this episode

TENE finds yet another thing Nazis are terrible at, parody swing music. 'Enjoy' the musical stylings of Goebbels-approved Charlie and his Orchestra, a wartime Nazi propaganda effort to trade the so-called 'degenerate' hits of Jewish and Black jazz artists with cringe-inducing parody versions towing the party line. With deepest apologies to the Andrews Sisters, TENE presents Nazi swing!

Closing (anti-fascist) song: "Pesenka o nacistah" - Leonid Utesov

This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system. And how to get rid of all that.

Something like that...
