Even though we called ourselves The Radical Secular, the tone was not nearly radical enough for me. I can’t stomach pulling any punches about religion or spirituality.

The Will Smith slap. Intersectionality. Guest segment with Sirena Prophet. Her coming out story, and struggles to live as an openly trans woman.

Gamification of disinformation. Online radicalization of young men. How Michael Flynn created Q. Apophenia and pareidolia. The role of trauma.

The many crimes of Mark Zuckerberg, and at long last the beginning of US national reckoning for Facebook.

A dive into the history of several prominent 20th century cults and some of the conspiracy theories they spawned. With Dr. Erin Prophet and Joe Szimhart.

The Radical Secular presents a special bonus episode with Christophe Difo and Sean Prophet, guesting on the Blinded by the Light Podcast with Bayard Lewis and Justice Bartlett.

Joe Szimhart is an artist, a cult information specialist, and a mental health professional. We discuss the history of Ascended Master cults.
