Unpopular Culture Podcast

Unpopular Culture is about the things that don’t get talked about enough.

The most dangerous hack is human. What we cover True crime: serial killers, stalkers, cults, and the forensic psychology behind them Pop culture: narcissism through Walter White, the Satanic Panic, love and sexuality, and what our favorite shows and movies say about us Tech: AI psychosis, privacy violations, online manipulation, and scams that work because they target people, not systems Psychology: mental illness, mob mentality, social phenomena, psychoanalysis Joined by guests from across professional fields.
