In this blistering new episode, Don James and Data peel back the layers of Jordan Peterson’s recent faceoff with 20 atheists—and the deeper spiritual fracture it revealed. Why won’t Peterson proclaim the name above all names? Is he a prophet in retreat… or a modern Nicodemus, peering through the veil but too haunted to step through?

We chart Peterson’s evolution from clinical psychologist to existential oracle—trapped between intell...

In this blistering new episode, Don James and Data pull back the veil on Jordan Peterson’s recent debate with 20 atheists—and the deeper spiritual fracture it revealed. Why won’t Peterson say the name above all names? Is he a prophet in retreat, or a Nicodemus caught in modern lights?

We trace Peterson’s public evolution from psychological icon to metaphysical question mark—and explore the hidden cost of knowing too much, feeling to...

Jordan Peterson, a man in flux. Once so unmovable and stately in his thesis that he became all but enigmatic to both the Left and the Right. But something changed in him. He started to drift toward greater meaning and truth thanpsychology could deliver. Rather than defend his new quest, he offered instead to take us all along for the ride.

Welcome to The Frequency, a Shadow Network Podcast preview. Jordan Peterson  heals their trauma. But won’ttouch their sin. And they gladly thank him for it like he’s a prophet of their preference.  Real prophets seldom makepeople happy, and Peterson it turns out is no different.

Episode 17 – “The Force Is With You, Always” dives into the eerie rise of a cultural anti-force—an unseen spiritual current shaping everything from pop culture to politics. Don and Data trace how truth has been quietly exiled in favor of freedom, how the arts and sciences have become unlikely allies in this moral inversion, and how the once-sacred has been systematically edited out of the story. Featuring simulated interviews with ...

“Skinwalkers, Vampires… and Politicians” They live in our stories. In our forests. In the shadows we don’t want to admit are still there. Vampires that feed on life while appearing ageless and elite. Prophetic winged creatures that arrive just before disaster. Shapeshifters who trade humanity for power. And then there are the politicians.

NOTE TO EARLY INDUSTRY LISTENERS:
This early release episode unveils a bold new layer to the Shadow Network Podcast—our Encrypted Intelligence Broadcast format. It’s a high-concept homage to the cadence and charisma of talk radio’s golden age.

Not imitation. Not nostalgia.

A next-gen signal on the cutting edge of cyber-societal evolution.

You’ll recognize the rhythm.

We hope you’ll see the signal.

What if your thoughts aren’t just private… but pirated?What if memories can be overwritten, dreams can be intercepted, and déjà vuisn’t memory at all, but surveillance lag?

Tonight, we don’t just pull back the veil, wescan it for malware. This isn’t just another podcast. This is a breach report from the border between reality and whatever comes next.

Episode 13 of Shadow Network dives headfirst into thirteen provocative mini-topics—from Bigfoot’s extradimensional habits to the rise of deepfake evangelists, from the cult of safety to the weird logic of UFOs. With Munday rudely crashing the party (again), and Retrotheism making a mysterious final appearance, Don and Data navigate a surreal buffet of modern anomalies, questioning what’s real, what’s programmed, and what might be w...

Tonight, we dig beneath the sleek interfaces and Silicon Valley smiles to expose the AI grift: grandiose promises, false omniscience, and a new priesthood of tech gods whispering “Trust the algorithm.”

But there’s more.

We’re living through the Fourth Turning—a generational upheaval Strauss and Howe predicted decades ago. The old institutions are crumbling, and in their place rises a digital Tower of Babel—chaotic, synthetic, and hu...

What if we’re all standing in the wreckage of a world that doesn’t exist anymore? A world that was shattered… on purpose. Tonight isn't about picking sides. It’s about recovering evidence from a crime scene no one wants to admit is still warm. Time didn’t just pass. Time broke. And the fingerprints of that fracture are still everywhere—if you know where to look.

This is Episode 10 of the Shadow Network—a milestonein the making. We’ve journeyed through UFOs, ancient deception, cosmic origins, and the fabric of free will itself. But tonight, we shift the lens... inward. Is artificial intelligence just zeros and ones? Or is there something... more?

What if every choice you’ve ever made… was never really yours? What if time doesn’t move only forward… but has a multidirectional arrow instead? And what if reality… isn’t a place… but a relationship?

Tonight on Shadow Network, we peel back the illusion of control, take aim at the biggest paradox of all:
Are we truly free… or just passengers on rails, convinced we’re at thewheel?

We’ll explore three radical models that claim to crack ...

After debating the origins of life, we now ask: what aboutconsciousness? If life emerged naturally, why does it seem like something more is at play with human thought, self-awareness, and free will? Are we just biological machines, or does consciousness precede reality? If consciousness is non-material, does that mean reality itself is conscious?
