The Toddzilla X-Pod - podcast cover

The Toddzilla X-Pod

Truth has no tribe. And mobs are stupid.

Broadcasting from southwest Michigan and the ruins of consensus, Todd Thompson dissects the cultural, psychological, and ideological chaos of modern America. Armed with propaganda analysis, evolutionary realism, and a flamethrower for the Marxist mind virus, this is a no-holds-barred rebellion against identity cults, narrative manipulation, and the spiritual rot of mass conformity. Cynical. Unforgiving. Free.

Broadcasting live on tape from WBCQ 7.490 every Monday at 10pm ET (2am Tuesday UTC) and Saturday on WWCR 4.840 at midnight ET (4am UTC), beginning August 16, 2025. Live streaming on both; shows uploaded the next day.

WBCQ - The Red-Green Alliance Comes to Congress

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. I...

WWCR - The Todd-God Alliance Begins

Broadcast: August 15, 2025 Todd Thompson kicks off his new weekly broadcast with a personal and philosophical deep-dive into the moral void left by a culture replacing "God" with ideological religion. What begins as a true story from 2008—being stranded in rural North Carolina and picked up by a Christian biker—becomes the anchor for a larger revelation: that modern “atheists” didn’t abandon religion. They just swapped it for something more dangerous—a punishing, re-branded Marxist orthodoxy obn...

WBCQ - The Red-Green Alliance: When Marx & Muhammad Both Swipe Right

Episode 2 – August 11, 2025 On this week’s WBCQ broadcast, Todd dives deep into one of the most paradoxical coalitions — the Red-Green Alliance between far-left radicals and Islamist extremists.

#169 - Humane Tech vs. Human Nature: It's Still "The People"

The Sacred Lie: Enlightened Masses, Media Manipulation & Digital Pentecostalism In this sharp-edged, high-density solo episode of the Toddzilla X-Pod: Escaping the Cave , Todd Thompson takes a sledgehammer to the sacred myth of democratic wisdom. Are “the people” really wise and self-governing—or are they dopamine-driven echo chambers manipulated by narrative engineers? Using thinkers like Walter Lippmann, H.L. Mencken, Edward Bernays, Jacques Ellul, Jonathan Haidt, and Neil Postman, Todd di...

WBCQ - The Counter-Insurgency: Red Tea Party, Woke Theocracy, The DSA Infestation

In his explosive WBCQ premiere, the freshly resurrected and notorious radio legend Todd Thompson launches a scorched-earth offensive against the ideological virus hollowing out the West from within. This opening salvo dives straight into the heart of the modern insurgency—unmasking the Democratic Socialists of America as a parasitic force infecting the Democratic Party through euphemism, moral camouflage, and Marxist entryism. Drawing from firsthand experience inside the Occupy movement, Todd la...

#168 - Media 101 Revisited: It's the People Drowning in Data

Three days before the WBCQ shortwave debut, the freshly rebranded Toddzilla X-Pod returns to its roots with a brutal, updated dissection of media literacy, mass manipulation, and ideological self-delusion.

From Bernays to Ellul, Le Bon to Lippmann, this episode connects propaganda history to today’s dopa...

#167 - Ideological Religion vs. Intellectual Autonomy

In this episode, Todd continues dismantling the transformation of modern political movements into ideological religions—complete with dogma, heresy, excommunication, and a mob-ready priesthood of online enforcers. Drawing on figures like H.L. Mencken, Joan Didion, Noam Chomsky, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, he explores how belief systems—left and right—have become substitute faiths, powered by dopamine, hashtags, and performative outrage. Todd weaves in cognitive science (via Nicholas Carr and neurop...

#166 - Ideological Religion & The Ultimate Sin

In this scathing and soul-punching episode, Todd eulogizes more than just Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan—he autopsies America’s descent into ideological fundamentalism. What do woke mobs, medieval witch trials, and Facebook shares have in common? The answer: moral certitude without grace. Todd dissects how modern ideological tribes—particularly on the Left—have replaced traditional religion with secular dogma, complete with martyrs, heresies, rituals, and catechisms. Using Hulk Hogan's post-mortem...

#164 - Summer of Love '25: Bernie's Revolution, Ideology's Attorneys, The Neutered Majority, "No Place For Violence"

As the weather heats up, so does the stream of "news!" Bernie Sanders is back on the agitrail stoking civil unrest. "Are you ready for the revolution?" From the riots to Iran, everyone's interpretation is determined by political affiliation. Shall we have another failed impeachment party? After Wisconsin, we heard the same tired and temporary refrain: "no place for violence!" Since when? What happens when the people themselves are the agitprop agents with global reach? Why moderates don't matter...

#163 - Superbloom, Storytellers, and Steaming Piles of Truth

Largely inspired by a strange trip to the dentist and Nicholas Carr's new book, Superbloom, Todd returns from his latest covert CIA mission to delve into how we've all been lied to: it turns out "sharing" more actually doesn't make people like you! Also, the disillusioning effects of abandoning comforting stories for naked truth. And why most instinctively avoid it. Buy Superbloom! https://a.co/d/7bj93Zl Like it? Rate, review, share!

The Blue Origin "crew" thinks they made history. Laika the Space Dog and Valentina Tereshkova would like a word. Bernie and AOC's Revolutionary Agitation Tour continues. So do the arson attacks. Weird, huh? Bill Maher's blasphemous dinner at Berchtesgaden . Liberals are as responsible for Trump as MAGA. Any open society is by nature defenseless against effective totalitarian movements.

#161 - Creative Equity & The Borg, Assassination Culture & Ellul

Some believe AI levels the playing field. Will these tools castrate human creativity and imagination instead? Making everyone seem superficially clever but without an ounce of depth? New surveys indicates the left is increasingly embracing assassination and political violence as a whole. Duh. We needed a poll to tell us that? The media is asking why. The answer is surprisingly simple and resides in my archives: propaganda's goal is to create proselytes and militants; fanatics who are primed to t...

For every radicalization there's an equal and opposite radicalization. What happened to the supposed silent moderate majority? What does it mean if they're effectively dead? Emerson wrote about arguing with the "retained attorneys". When it comes to political discourse, and justifying political violence, are we in a race to the bottom? And are we debating or just litigating? What happens when post hoc rationalization rules? We're two months into Trump's term and the 2028 campaign has already beg...

Episode 159 starts with a warning about China's social media propaganda infrastructure. There are hints it's in place and it will certainly be fully unleashed at some point. Immediately after Act Blue's USAID money dried up, Bernie Sanders goes on his Eat the Bourgeoisie Agitation Tour, inciting another summer of civil unrest. On cue, American radicals seized on his revolutionary rhetoric and embraced French Revolution symbolism - apparently without realizing it failed! Will these modern day Jac...

Trump's acting like he's about to abandon Ukraine. Is he? Or is it a ploy to force Europe to begin defending itself? What would that mean for the European welfare state? Austerity riots, anyone? Speaking of Europe, is the anti-woke counterrevolution taking shape? Will proud English, German, and French men & women finally reclaim their free speech and patriotism while putting an end to EU suppression? J.D. Vance may have tapped into something bubbling beneath the Old World surface. Let's hope...

#155 - DOGE Derangement, Marxism's Long March, The Counter-Revolution

Recorded on a snowy February afternoon, this edgy episode shines a light on the Democrats and their bizarre, violently deranged-yet-impotent responses to Trump, Musk, and especially DOGE. It also highlights Christopher Rufo's exposé on Marxism's "Long March" thru American institutions and explores the aggressive counter-revolutionary efforts led by DOGE against entrenched revolutionaries and their newly-exposed bureaucratic rot. Isn't it odd that Democrats literally declared war on their own gov...

After 3-weeks of Democrat hysterics, Trump's approval numbers only continue to rise and it's clear that most American's approve of what he's doing. In this episode, Todd revisits a prophetic pre-covid episode discussing fanatical totalitarianism and the boomerang effect that comes with it.

Part 2 of 2. After another quick overdose of praise for the Detroit Lions(!), this begins by discussing Joe Biden's pardonfest. Focussing on the possible preemptive pass for Dr. Fauci regarding any lab leak coverup, Todd concludes that a pardon * could * be a good thing. Also, Daniel Penny's exoneration brought our disgraced BLM friends back out of their agitprop closet, just in time for Trump's inauguration. Coincidence?
