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.

The Thompson Show – October 3, 2025 (WWCR 4840 kHz)
Todd’s back at the mic for the October 3rd edition of The Thompson Show, broadcasting across America and Europe on WWCR 4840 kHz. This week’s episode mixes satire, political commentary, and a few sharp cultural dissections, all delivered in Todd’s trademark counter-revolutionary style.
• Government Shutdown Theater
Washington’s annual act returns, with both parties playing their roles in the same tired production. Todd explains why the latest standoff is less about governing than survival theater, and why the Democrats’ “resistance strategy” has become a desperate act of self-preservation.
• The Mormon Shooting and Real Compassion
After a gunman attacks a Mormon church in Michigan, Todd recounts the astonishing response: Mormons raising $250,000 not for victims, but for the shooter’s family. A meditation on grace, empathy, and walking the walk in an era obsessed with moral posturing.
• Greta Thunberg: Celebrity Messiah Complex
Greta’s second “aid flotilla” to Gaza ends the same way as her first: in Israeli custody. Todd unloads on the global activist machine that turned a scowling teenager into a professional saint, arguing that Thunberg has become the Paris Hilton of protest culture.
• Media Circus: Kimmel, Stern, and Manufactured Outrage
From Jimmy Kimmel’s “suspension” to Howard Stern’s contract-renewal drama, Todd exposes how cancellation has become a marketing tool; outrage as advertising, victimhood as PR.
• NPR’s Political-Violence Poll
A new NPR/Marist poll quietly reveals that support for political violence has skyrocketed, especially among Democrats. Todd breaks down the numbers and the implications for a society sleepwalking toward civil fracture.
• Coming Next Week: Digital ID & Social Credit
A preview of next week’s deep-dive into Europe’s expanding Digital ID systems, a warning about the creeping convergence of surveillance, censorship, and social-credit control under the guise of “safety” and “accountability.”
The Thompson Show airs Fridays at 11 p.m. Central / Midnight Eastern on WWCR 4840 kHz, Nashville Tennessee USA, and is available afterward on all major podcast platforms under The Toddzilla X-Pod.
