About this listen
No one turns up where they're not wanted quite like John Safran. In this hilarious and disorienting adventure, he gets among our diverse community of white nationalists, ISIS supporters, anarchists and more, digging away at the contradictions that many would prefer be left unexamined.
Who is this black puppet master among the white nationalists? And this Muslim fundamentalist who geeks out on Monty Python? Is there a secret radicalisation network operating in John’s own Jewish suburb? And ultimately - is hanging with all these radicals washing off on John himself?
Populated by an extraordinary cast of 'ordinary' Australians, Depends What You Mean by Extremist is a startling, confronting portrait of contemporary Australia. We all think we know what's going on in our own country, but this larger-than-life, timely and alarmingly insightful true story will make you think again.... Drinking shots with nationalists and gobbling falafel with radicals, John Safran was there the year the extreme became the mainstream.

That wiley jew! As predicted, worth a listen.
A brilliant balance of satire and inside interviews. John takes a closer look at key members on both sides of the anti-immigration conversation. In typical Safran style, he magnificently highlights how strange and silly it is to hold black and white opinions on such a complex topic. He weasels himself into the underbelly of both the left and right camps and exposes the underlying agendas that are being pushed and all their hypocrisies. Great read!!!

Eye-opening, regardless of personal politics. A must-listen for all Aussies. I can't wait to seek out more Safran!

Perfect Audio book
Listening to John tell the story added significantly. Scary that these people live amongst us but great that Mr Safran is out there to expose and take the piss out of them at once!!
Some scary and genuinely hilarious moments. Made all the better with the trademark lisp.
Thanks John

Absolutely awesome!
Where do I start?
I don’t normally read anything other than true crime books and autobiographies but, I’ve read absolutely everything and was looking for something different when I stumbled on this book. And I’m so glad I did! The only thing better than this book is having it read to you by John himself! I don’t think anyone can approach religion and race issues the way he can with his amazing humour, wit and ability to tell it how it is without bias or personal opinion getting in the way. Every chapter is enjoyable and I laughed more than I have in a long time! Definitely a must read!

Interesting
I found it interesting to hear about what is happening in Australia that I wasn't aware of before.
I like that John Safran narrated it as then the meaning behind his words doesn't get lost as he knows what words emphasise, what is sarcastic, etc.
