A blunt, unsentimental dive into propaganda, ideology, and the contemporary cult of belief.
Host Todd Thompson dissects how both corporate and collectivist power structures manipulate guilt, fear, and identity to keep the herd in line. From Ellul and Chomsky to Didion and Camus, the show fuses political philosophy, field experience, and gallows humor to expose how revolutions become religions, and how “progress” often hides new forms of control.
The X-Pod is an autopsy of the narratives that shape us: digital Marxism, moral theater, and the algorithmic priests of the new faith. Expect philosophy with scars, historical context with teeth, and the rare luxury of an honest sentence.

On this week's WBCQ Broadcast, Todd again took aim at the Red–Green Alliance—the tactical partnership between Marxist radicals and Islamist movements—showing how it's infested American politics via the Democratic Socialists of America.
From Zohran Mamdani’s ideological engineering to AOC’s social-media storefront, from Bernie Sanders’ Trojan horse campaigns to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib’s Islamist grievance politics, Todd shows this is no conspiracy. It's a strategy playing out in real time.
In the closing stretch, Thompson draws on Orwell to warn that the real target is America’s cohesive narrative: patriotism itself. National pride, he argues, is the last barrier against ideological colonization, and once it’s stripped away, nothing stops the replacement of the individualist American story with a hollow collectivist counterfeit.
