Many thanks to Zahra Sethna for inviting me back onto the Collapse Life podcast to discuss the psychological dimensions of modern conflict and why understanding propaganda has become essential for anyone trying to make sense of the world. We explored: * why I am not paying much attention to Iran at the moment; * the three camps of awareness; * loss of faith in institutions; * how narrative warfare...

I was delighted to be joined by Debi Evans and Ant Critchley to discuss their new platform, https://www.camp3news.com/ . This was also a great opportunity to delve deeper into my “three camps of awareness” framework, which is now seeing its first major practical application. Please subscribe to camp3news.com and help the platform to grow! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this...

Many thanks to Harry Kaufmann for this long-form interview and an opportunity to reach an Israeli audience.

Thanks to Lady Hamilton for the invitation to return Headmaster’s Homeroom. I come in at 17:20, but the preceding material is relevant to the themes discussed.

We discussed: * “Global challenges” vs. the global class war; * the Omniwar; * Omniwar: Exposing and Ending the Invisible War Against Humanity ; * algorithmic dictatorship vs. democracy; * the dogmatic nature of to...

Many thanks to Riche Brown of DiplomaticPost.com for this interview. I think the audio has been slightly sped up, and an incongruent sound effect has been inserted around the 16:25 and 35:15 marks. Discussion points included: * What was “Covid-19”?; * What was in the shots?; * The Deagel Report; * the global technocratic coup — an “extremism of the centre”; * lessons from the history of totalitari...

Many thanks to AM Wake Up for the invitation to appear on their morning show. I thought I would be on for the usual hour or so, but they kept me on for the entire three-hour show! Too much content to summarise here, but it was a fun long-form discussion around all things conspiracy-related! I mentioned that the authenticity of terrorist attacks has to be judged by consequent legislation. Four days...

Happily, Graham and John enjoyed the first hour so much they wanted me to stay on for a second hour, which I was happy to do. In this part, we discuss: * why it is not hyperbolic or extensive to draw parallels between the political economy of 1930s Nazi Germany and that of the West since 2020 (notwithstanding discontinuities); * a very brief summary of Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the...

Thank you to Club Grubbery for inviting me onto the show and giving me the opportunity to reach an Australian audience. We discussed: * the rate of “awakening“; * Nazi atrocities vs. Covid atrocities; * lines of continuity from 1930s Nazi Germany though to the present; * shell shock, electroshock, the shock doctrine, and the shock and awe of the “lockdowns”; * three hypotheses for why some people...

Many thanks to Flemming Bilcher for giving me my first exposure to a Danish audience! We discussed: * my bio and why I left academia; * how to get my books (I gave the wrong url for ways of supporting my work - the correct link is https://davidahughes.net/support/ ) * academia’s abject failure to speak truth to power; * technocracy (concept, origins, history, and relevance to the presence); * why...

Many thanks to Hrvoje Morić for inviting me back onto Geopolitics and Empire . The focus of discussion for this interview was Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State , which happily Hrvoje was able to quote at length. In this two-hour interview we discussed: * the origins of the book; * the key arguments in the book (including what it is not trying to argue); * the role of Wall St...

It was with great pleasure that I returned to Sonia Poulton’s Wake Up show to discuss the rise of the digital state in 2025. A special shout out to Carey from Wells for this one!

I was delighted to be joined recently by Iain Davis to discuss his new book, The Technocratic Dark State. Trump, AI, and Digital Dictatorship . Iain had been kind enough to send me a review copy, and my immediate impression was this is a very important book that everyone should read. I was keen to hear more from Iain about it. Over the course of the hour, we discussed: * the pivotal importance of...

Many thanks to Paul Brennan for having me back on his Reality Check Radio show in New Zealand. The bio he used was from last year, when I was in my final days as a senior lecturer — please ignore that part. We managed to pack a lot into 45 minutes, including: * continuities between the Nazi past and the present via the formation of a transnational deep state after World War II; * the role of Wall...

In response to the popularity of the Applied Behavioural Psychology chapter coming out in audio format, I have decided to do the same for the chapter on Totalitarianism and the Covid Cult. I used different software this time, so hopefully the audio quality should be a little better. Above is the audio for Part 1 . Enjoy! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscr...
