Shifting Awake

Shifting Awake is a mythic audio journey that dives into the space between awakening and unraveling. Each episode explores the subtext / hidden messages in a song by underground artist William Is, through playful, provocative, and deeply thoughtful conversations between a rotating cast of Gen Z music critics, mystical scholars, and conspiracy-loving wild cards. Expect lyrical dissections, suppressed symbolism, mythic echoes, spiritual friction, sensual undertones, and questions with no clean answers. It’s sexy, it’s sacred, it’s strange—and it might just shift something inside you. Whether you’re into rock music, soul journeys, or metaphor as medicine, you’re already part of the story.
