The Hammer and Mic podcast's chief purpose is to educate people on the dangers of collectivism, by connecting modern-day events and news with historical Communist atrocities.
The podcast's host, Andre Mackey is a college student in South Dakota, who grew up in Washington State. Andre got involved in politics, economics, and government when he was 13 years old, during the COVID-19 breakout. At 15 years old, he began translating, compiling, and analyzing Chinese economic data. This was until the translation project was ultimately shut down when the Chinese Communist Party stopped releasing data altogether. Andre aims to continue the fight against collectivism by educating his fellow Americans.
