In Episode 98 of The Unfounded Podcast, we explore the theme of authenticity—how it reveals itself in music, public discourse, and even the unexplained. The conversation begins with Oliver Anthony’s viral song, Rich Men North of Richmond, a raw expression of working-class frustration that has sparked discussions across the political spectrum. Before opinions muddy the message, we listen firsthand, unpacking the song’s resonance and why true artistic honesty is so powerful.
From there, we shift toward the paranormal—Skinwalker Ranch. Featuring insights from The Shawn Ryan Show and entrepreneur Brandon Fugal, the episode examines how firsthand experiences can shake skepticism and challenge conventional understanding. To deepen the discussion, I share a personal encounter with UFOs and the paranormal, reflecting on the moments that force us to question reality.
Ultimately, this episode is a call to embrace radical truth. Whether in politics, creativity, or personal experience, authenticity holds transformative power—if we have the courage to express it. What’s your story? It’s time to share it.
Lots of Love <3
