    Oh I love TrueAnon, but haven’t listened in like 2 years due to life changes removing the time I used to have for listening to podcasts. But if they did a video on this subject, I’ll seek it out!

      Weeeellll, I pretty much just listed my fave pods that aren’t CTH which I don’t even particularly listen to much lately.

      Red Line and The Deprogram are your best bets for these subjects.

      The Red Line is rarely entertainment content, but if you wanna learn some shit, it’s great.

      Not c/bloomer content

      Not sure if you stopped listening before they released it, but TrueAnon’s investigation into Synanon, addiction treatment industry history and “troubled teen” camps is really some of their best work since Epstein didn’t kill himself and Maxwell got locked up. ( “The Game” - youtube playlist link )
      Not really on-topic for the bloomer community, I’m getting a little teary remembering listening to it because it’s both a deep investigation into the history and exploitation of addiction treatment and a personal journey for Brace, diving into an abusive “troubled teen” type facility he was sent to himself as a kid. So yeah it’s dark as fuck and he recounts a lot of personal trauma, but ultimately seems cathartic for Brace.
