151 episodes — Page 3 of 4

Ep 50Create FUN
ECreate art, create culture, create FUN! The left runs the culture and uses it against American classic values to ruthlessly reach the goals of the state over the citizen. Their cultural insanity stops the clock and enables this power grab. Your fun art gets a whole new Sub Pop Culture going and stops their anti-progress dead in it’s tracks.

Ep 49The Data Normalization Game
ERoss Kennedy is on SubPopCult. We discuss how political demographic data is generated through reactions to news and how that data is normalized by paid pundits so that false perceptions about fellow Americans are locked in the minds of citizens, guaranteeing a divided nation unable to replace its elites.

Ep 48Culture for Christmas
EMerry Christmas from SubPopCult. In this short episode I ask you to reflect on the characters who rise to power in the Republican party and also to look forward to the new direction we will take the culture in 2022 and beyond.

ECorporate media works overtime to pit Americans against one another while insiders with power joust. The American Joust is how We The People maintain unity so let’s rediscover this unspoken practice of jousting our way to a better tomorrow.

Ep 44The Cowards
ECowards avoid the culture and stay focused on politics. Be brave and abandon politics in 2022 and then make the culture anew.

Ep 43The Great Pullback
ECorporations cultivate American culture by hand selecting politicians willing to keep coaxing the American people down a path of story driven division which enables the erosion of liberty and is ultimately about corporate profit.

Ep 42True North - A Compass Not A Map part 2
EPart 2 of guest host Michael Albanese interviewing Michael McGruther about conversion, C.S. Lewis and the writer’s journey into faith and a new mission to rebuild the culture.

Ep 41A Compass Not A Map
EWhere does the inspiration to “make it big” come from? What if that target is precisely what ruins so many? Making it big requires a treasure map, but making it medium and staying true requires a compass. We are all born with a compass but the culture hands everyone a map. Mike Albanese hosts SubPopCult to launch his podcast “Make It Medium” and while we explore this question it turned into my testimony.

Ep 40Peace of Cake
ECake never considered herself an artist, but a traumatic and confusing life event event led to the birth of her artistic sense and ability which provided a path to healing.

Ep 39The Algorithm is Communist
EMan is like a computer. He is programmable and can be led to predetermined outcomes by algorithms. Social media algorithms are communist and feed the government’s appetite for power. Therefore the government is communist too and that’s why they will never curb social media’s power - but we can and we will by curbing our own behavior so that the human data information system is unreliable to the government and befuddles it’s efforts to keep us divided and controlled.

Ep 38Meet Mike Green
EMike Green wanted to prove to his 10th grade global history students that the world was still a good place filled with good people. To do so, he told them he would hitchhike from their small town in Western New York State to Denali National Park, Alaska with only a backpack and the kindness of strangers to get him there. This is the fascinating true story of a man of his word who went on an adventure and discovered the world. Enjoy this preview of Mike Green's debut book The Seven Global Truths of Leadership coming soon from Hosel and Ferrule Books.

Ep 37The American Sense
EAmerican’s are desensitized to violence, murder, corruption, sexual debauchery, and communist ideology because we lack a common American sense.

Ep 36Americanism
EWho are we? What is the American spirit and how can we collectively return to the peaceful shores of Americanism from the treacherous cliffs of narrative driven political division that intends to destroy us? The way back is by embracing Americanism. Remember who we truly are and the future will too.

Ep 35Are You Paying Attention Yet?
EPolitics, politics, politics is never free and never true. You PAY with your time and the cost is your freedom to create and maintain the world around you. Never pay with time for that which is free. Your opinion can and should change often. The return to Americanism is the return to the middle where common sense is true and politics will never do.

Ep 34American Apologetics
EThe American Way endures when we the people remember who we really are. Kind, gentle, selfless and wise. A family united around an ideal - that it is better to be free than in bondage and for that reason alone liberty must be defended from all who try to usurp our simple, yet magnificent power.

Ep 33Hooked!
EAmericans are hooked on political division and outrage, which fuels the consolidation of power away from the people. The remedy is restoring balance to American culture with an indie artist economy that is supported by free people who understand that liberty must be cherished and celebrated in art so that it is never forgotten.

Ep 32The Court of Public Opinion
EUnderstanding and valuing reasonable doubt is what keeps us free. The media and their political actors are always presenting questionable evidence which should create reasonable doubt if we value truth, justice and the American way.

Ep 31Another Time For Choosing
EAmericans find themselves in another time for choosing. Will we be sub-agents of corporations and their paid off cold hearted technocrats or will we become brilliant sub-culturists who restore the American lore that makes us whole and keeps us free?

Ep 30Mr. Independence
EFilmmaker Leigh Scott joins me to share his insights on why the current slate of woke filmmakers are just props used by the agents/managers/producers to maintain control over a business that is slipping through their corporate grasp. Having begun his career as an intern for Roger Corman and then trailblazing as one of the OG “folk filmmakers” who did it all, including distributing his own features, red carpet premiere and all - independently. There is a ton to learn from this episode and be sure to stay tuned for the bonus track at the end. -WriterMcG

Ep 29Corrupt The Data
EEverything you do in the connected world creates data that is used to manipulate and program you. Corrupt the data and you short-circuit the system.

Ep 28Return Of The Cooler
EPrevious generations had a decentralized way to share ideas and opinions that weren’t monitored, manipulated and monetized by the political and media class.

Ep 27In One Ear
EThe American people are being radicalized without becoming truly radical. What goes in one ear never goes out the other, creating a perpetual rage that handicaps all opposition to the ever growing power of the state.

Ep 26Baptism By Liars
ECompulsive pathological sociopaths are everywhere in media and are cultivated by corporate leftists to be useful idiots who can influence divisive culture in America. Believe it or not we have all suffered the baptism into worldliness by liars.

Ep 25The Mauling of Americans
ECommunists and Globalists are in full control of the media narratives that divide Americans. We have a chance to remind the world who we are and reject the globalists desire to create a dual economy in the USA. The time to unite in the truest American sense is right now. Happy Birthday America - be reborn in unity. Live and let live but never let them divide us.

Ep 23A Tragedy of Sharers
E

Ep 15Rain Drops, Bottled Water and Louis Farrakhan

Learn how I was there when Media Matters for America was funded via phone call. And then listen to one of the most sublime speeches ever filmed that shows the only true way to regain control - RISE LITTLE PUNKS!

Ep 10Break The Fish Tank
The hustlers vs the con men mindset. Dived we are falling. The rules of the game, clearly defined.

Ep 9Break the Spell
EThe Dr. Seuss trick is more of the same. How does pretending to cancel a brand work for both the left and the right’s political class that feeds off a confused and divided public? I explain in 12 minutes and remind you that it ends when we’re ready for it to end and not a moment sooner.

Ep 8The Beautiful Mystery

E
Ep 6Trapped In The 2nd Act.
ETrapped in the 2nd act reveals why we’re all being encouraged to stay divided with storytelling based social manipulation.
