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.

The Demon (2014)

Recorded shortly after Robin Williams committed suicide in 2014, this was one of the most popular episodes from the old podcast. It covers many topics Friar Chris and I discussed in the previous podcasts, including the fraud of "normal", misguided identity, the emptiness of success, depression, and the performers need for praise and validation. Some of the early ideas surrounding the Social Media Disease such as personal “branding” and virtual facades are here as well as kernels of things that w...

Hitchhiking and Philosophy

The final episode of the Friar Chris Series begins with a discussion about the differences between bicycle touring and backpacking then moves on to deeper topics, including (@ 15:45) my experience volunteering on the Gulf Coast in the immediate aftermath of Katrina and the corrosive and corrupting effects of tribalism and dogma in the Disaster Relief Industrial Complex. We then move on to (mostly) explore the fundamental ideas behind why he and I chose hitchhiking and what we learned and experie...

Friar Chris - Walking Savannah to Seattle

In this politics-free second of three, I continue chatting with Chris Dyson about his walk from Savannah, Georgia to Seattle which included enduring a turbulent breakup on the side of US-287 in northern Colorado, getting lost in rural Wyoming, and anecdotes and observations about some of the fascinating people he met along the way. Deeper topics include self-generated baseless fear, choosing existential isolation in the name of personal security, internal narratives, religion & spirituality,...

Friar Chris - A Gringo in the Andes

The first of three expansive (and nearly politics-free!) episodes with Chris Dyson, we discuss the mystical route leading to his founding of The Hof, his hostel in the Cordillera Blanca range of the Peruvian Andes and the difficulties he encountered in being a gringo outsider trying to integrate into the nearby Quechuan community, including the multiple robberies endured during his six and a half years living in Peru. We also discuss working at an ayuahuasca retreat, "The Personal Peace Corp" an...

Self-Delusion, Solutions in Truth, and A Side of Crow

In this sprawling episode, Todd attacks Quixoteism & "personal truth": the human tendency toward egocentric self-delusion and how the Sausage Party Hope resides in the commitment to observing objective reality. He also discusses artist "activism", content control and the new feed, third party futility, and the need for one political religion or the other to inter the opposing half of the country inside ideological "concentration camps". You're also given the gift of laughter as he dines on h...

Ideological Religions & The Talking Dead

Laying the foundation for future podcasts, Todd talks about identity politics being mutually exclusive with “equality”, ideological drift, political doctrine as competing and hostile secular religions, cyber mobs, and the zombifying effects of dogma. NEW FEED! Subscribe: iTunes or Google Play...

Detecting the Disinformation: Tribal Warfare, Slithering Fascism (2014)

Recorded in 2014 shortly before the first podcast ended, this episode discusses my initial Facebook purges, Trumpism (before Trump), the social damage inflicted by echo chambered disinformation (fake news) on facebook as well as the human inclination toward delusional tribalism. Not recommended for those looking for Sausage Party Hope! Definitely recommended for those wanting to reflect back on the not-so-distant past and reminisce on how we got here. And how things not only haven't changed, but...
