TW: Anti-semitism and hate
I have run into a lot of vile content in my travels. But this is just about as bad as it gets. Not just because of the unapologetic Nazi message, but even more because of the medium — in this case a bunch of boomers (not sorry) with Boston accents.
“Minister of Third Reich Advocacy” is not a joke. There is no irony here, and no filter whatsoever. They are proud of being literal Nazis.
For two decades, twin brothers Jim and Joe Rizoli have terrified the immigrant population of Framingham, MA where they live, and done everything in their power to spread Nazi propaganda and Holocaust denial to their neighbors.
Here’s a Boston Globe story from 2003:
The SPLC has identified them as Holocaust deniers for well over a decade.
Here’s a story in the Atlantic from 2015. The Rizoli brothers drove school buses, for years after they were identified as Nazis.

And thanks to the good folks at Amazon you get your Holocaust denial at Amazon Music.
Here’s something you can do. Go to the Amazon podcast page here, then click the gear icon in the upper right then click “Get Help.” It will pop up a little text box, like this:
“Phone calls welcome.” 🤷♂️
We must stop this slide towards normalizing Nazism. We must stamp it out wherever we find it. I’m talking to YOU, friend.
Anywhere you find this shit, do whatever is in your legal power to shut it down. Otherwise, we’ll just keep watching the road being laid in front of us. ENOUGH.
✅ I was able to open the help section once I logged into Amazon account.
Tried not seeing any gear or help section.
