ColoRadio x The Denver Press Club

ColoRadio’s monthly series focused on the power of audio continues with a conversation about covering white supremacy. By now, a few different people have told the story of Alan Berg, a Denver talk radio host murdered in 1984 by the white supremacist group The Order. One of them is Josh Mattison, whose limited series The Order of Death was released in 2019. Another was Kevin Flynn, former journalist and current City Council member, whose book The Silent Brotherhood, written with the late Gary Gerhardt, provided the basis for another, more recent telling: the 2024 film The Order. Flynn joins Josh to discuss their approaches to Alan Berg’s story, why they both felt compelled to to tell it, and what we should know about covering white supremacist violence today.
