Are you talking about Programmed to Chill? I really liked just about everything Jimmy Falun Gong did. Is he problematic for some reason?

Incredible work, can’t wait for the next one. This and contra are some of the best podcast series I’ve listened to. Would love a deep dive into Colonia Dignidad at some point, even though it’s been done by lesser podcasts that shall remain nameless

Just when you think this conflict can't get any murkier and spooky here we are. Nazi colonies in South America, shady business dealings, An enigmatic German arms dealer with ties to intelligence agencies and a plethora of questionable characters. Demon Forces continues to deliver! Production quality is top notch, can't wait for the next ep

That was insane. Holy fuck 😵💫
