In this podcast, Kawcyznski brands himself as a coronavirus expert, though he has been criticized for spreading incorrect, alarmist, and conspiracy-laden content,[1] including the unproven idea that COVID-19 was engineered in a lab.
[2] The podcast has also been criticized in terms of quality, with Vulture describing it as "long and poorly edited, packed with rambles and recitations of scientific papers of dubious fidelity.
[1][6] Kawcynzski was fired in January 2018 after less than a year as town manager of Jackman, Maine due to his posts on social media calling for racial segregation and condemning Islam.
"[5] The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) notes that, though Kawcyznski's views align with those of the alt-right, he chooses to deliberatively obfuscate his beliefs in most public spaces.
However, argues the ADL, Kawcyznski speaks more clearly on Gab, where he makes more clearly racist statements and at times talks explicitly about his communication strategy.
Kawcyznski later moved to New Hampshire to join the Free State Project, an effort launched with the goal to create a libertarian stronghold.
