BBC World Service - Boston Calling, No Going Back

Hate crimes in the US have spiked since the election. What if they continue?

“It’s indisputable that we are seeing a big rash of hate crimes that are directly related to the election of Donald Trump.’’

In this episode: a researcher collects some hard data on hate crimes; a writer looks into what the alt-right movement really is; and a conservative Christian explains why he backed Trump. Plus, a woman who grew up in America gets stuck in South Korea; comedian Trevor Noah gets personal about his childhood; and American disco gets a South African twist.
