• 33.07 - MU Podcast - The Memetic Virus

  American culture is everywhere, shaping everything from entertainment to fast food—but could its most profound influence be something far more unsettling? Across the globe, from Hong Kong to Japan, Western mental health concepts are spreading, often replacing traditional ways of understanding distress. Depression, PTSD, and eating disorders are appearing in regions where they were once rare, raising the question: is this organic, or is something more deliberate at play? In this episode, we dive into the unsettling case from Japan, where pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline saw an untapped market for antidepressants and set out to change the nation’s perception of sadness itself. Through marketing, media manipulation, and cultural rebranding, they turned “feeling down” into a medical condition overnight—selling billions in pills along the way. Could this be an example of a memetic virus, an idea so powerful that it rewires an entire society’s approach to mental illness? Then, for our Plus+ members, we uncover reports of bizarre shape-shifting UFOs, eerie green mist that seems to transport people between dimensions, and chilling encounters with dark entities that should have never been summoned.

• 33.03 - MU Podcast - Cataclysms Uncensored

  Suppressed by the CIA, the notable works of Chan Thomas are often dismissed as "conspiracy theories" and "pseudoscience," but they are finally starting to gain the attention of modern researchers. Could the Earth have some kind of reset cycle that, through planetary forces, regularly creates cataclysms that keep humanity in check? Could this reset cycle be occurring now, and are elite groups trying to keep this knowledge secret? Also, for our Plus+ members, we consider the trope of building a home on a graveyard and explore how the story behind the 1980s film Poltergeist may have a very real background.
