The Farm Podcast Mach II
Recluse
Explore culture, parapolitics and high weirdness with Recluse, the longtime curator of the legendary VISUP blog (visupview.blogspot.com). After cutting his teeth in the synchro-mystical movement, Recluse developed a novel approach to parapolitics that emphasizes both hard research with a reluctant acceptance of Fortean (and Saturnine) currents. He is also the author of Strange Tales of the Parapolitical: Postwar Nazis, Mercenaries, and Other Secret History (along with Frank Zero, the original host of The Farm) and A Special Relationship: Trump, Epstein, and the Secret History of the Anglo-American Establishment Book I. He has a forthcoming work, due in 2022, dealing with the history of Discordianism, state-sanctioned behavioral moficification programs, and conspiracy theories. The Farm podcast produces highly quality, in-depth, weekly shows in the long form. Free, public shows are posted here every Monday while patrons to get two additional, exclusive shows on the 1st and 16th of each month. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
