Episodes

Create FUN 14.01.2022

Create 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.

The Data Normalization Game 07.01.2022

Ross 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.

Culture for Christmas 23.12.2021

Merry 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.

Artist to Tablet 17.12.2021

America is not a corporation. It has a heart and soul that comes from the American people—the true authors of liberty and keepers of unity.

The Writer’s Writer 10.12.2021

Kevin Rush is an ex Catholic school teacher turned novelist. His latest book is a romantic comedy called The Wedding Routine. This episode is an hour long conversation with a truly indie author whose journey is fascinating and can be learned from.

The American Joust 05.12.2021

Corporate 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.

The Cowards 29.11.2021

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

The Great Pullback 17.11.2021

Corporations 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.

True North - A Compass Not A Map part 2 12.11.2021

Part 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.

A Compass Not A Map 06.11.2021

Where 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 tes...

Peace of Cake 29.10.2021

Cake 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.

The Algorithm is Communist 23.10.2021

Man 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 go...

Meet Mike Green 16.10.2021

Mike 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 advent...

The American Sense 09.10.2021

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

Americanism 01.10.2021

Who 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.

Are You Paying Attention Yet? 27.09.2021

Politics, 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.

American Apologetics 17.09.2021

The 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.

Hooked! 11.09.2021

Americans 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.

The Court of Public Opinion 03.09.2021

Understanding 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.

Another Time For Choosing 11.08.2021

Americans 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?

Mr. Independence 06.08.2021

Filmmaker 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...

Corrupt The Data 02.08.2021

Everything 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.

Return Of The Cooler 22.07.2021

Previous generations had a decentralized way to share ideas and opinions that weren’t monitored, manipulated and monetized by the political and media class.

In One Ear 16.07.2021

The 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.

Baptism By Liars 09.07.2021

Compulsive 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.
