The Toddzilla X-Pod

A blunt, unsentimental dive into propaganda, ideology, and the contemporary cult of belief. Host Todd Thompson dissects how both corporate and collectivist power structures manipulate guilt, fear, and identity to keep the herd in line. From Ellul and Chomsky to Didion and Camus, the show fuses political philosophy, field experience, and gallows humor to expose how revolutions become religions, and how “progress” often hides new forms of control. The X-Pod is an autopsy of the narratives that shape

Todd grudgingly returns to life after shortwave with a sore jaw, a jacked neck medicated with Leinenkugel's, and a prostate full of unimpaired sarcasm. Fresh from oral surgery and his final WWCR broadcast, he jumps straight back into New York’s new Marxist soap opera: Zorak's rise, the DSA’s full-blown takeover of the Democrats, and the party’s desperate rebrand from identity equity to affordability.It’s a kind of hangover episode with bite: part recovery diary, part political exorcism.

Toddzilla X-Pod #171 Recorded Sept 17, 2025 In this spontaneous and gloriously unmapped episode, Todd takes stock of a country whose fabric is visibly fraying and reaction has become the story. He opens with the online ghoulishness around Charlie Kirk’s killing and the equal-and-opposite counter-reaction: firings and public consequences for people who cheered it on. The line he draws is clear: speech is free; consequences aren’t, but the state must stay out of it. (He calls out attempts to

2025/09/09

Broadcast September 8, 2025, on WBCQ shortwave (7490 kHz), this episode challenges the idea that human beings are “blank slates.” Todd Thompson argues that much of what is labeled racism is better understood as cultural and tribal reflex — instincts wired by evolution, not just products of environment.
