Ep 318 - Brian Costello | Staring Betrayal in the Eye: Forgiveness & the Primordial Code
Ep 318 - Brian Costello | Staring Betrayal in the Eye: Forgiveness & the Primordial Code Oct 11, 2026 01:30:11 Brian Costello grew up believing life simply works out if you stick to the plan, and for years it did: a thriving CrossFit gym, a place on Team USA as a competitive beach sprinter, and a future that seemed to build itself. Then a betrayal split his life into a before and an after. What he found on the far side is a hard-won account of forgiveness, one that refuses every silver lining and demands t
Ep 317 - Joel & Yerasimos | Beyond the Rabbit Hole: Living Your Personal Myth
Ep 317 - Joel & Yerasimos | Beyond the Rabbit Hole: Living Your Personal Myth Oct 4, 2026 01:04:25 The rabbit hole can wake you up, and it can also become the place you never leave. In this solo episode, we look at life once outrage, arguments and the need to be right lose their grip. Twenty-plus years into questioning the official story, Yerasimos offers a barometer: the state of your health, your relationships, your bank account and the person in the mirror. Joel makes the case that clear val
Ep 316 - Kate Gladdin | Resilience Is Not Bouncing Back
Ep 316 - Kate Gladdin | Resilience Is Not Bouncing Back Sep 27, 2026 01:31:18 This is one of the most moving conversations we’ve had on Here for the Truth, and among the hardest to hold. Kate Gladdin has taught resilience to more than 300,000 people, and she has no patience for the version of it that asks you to find the silver lining. Named one of Australia’s 100 Women of Influence, she came to this work through loss she would undo in a heartbeat if she could, and can’t. S
Ep 315 - Satsang | In the Company of the Highest Truth
Ep 315 - Satsang | In the Company of the Highest Truth Sep 20, 2026 01:21:25 Satsang owns every master he has ever recorded, and building a career independent enough to keep it that way cost him more than any label deal would have paid. Drew came up through an abusive house, psychedelics at thirteen, addiction and sobriety, then spent every dollar he had on a trip to Nepal instead of the reliable car everyone was waiting for. The band took its name from a stranger's handwr
Ep 314 - Ruby Fremon | Cracked Open: A Story of Grief, Collapse & Aliveness
Ep 314 - Ruby Fremon | Cracked Open: A Story of Grief, Collapse & Aliveness Sep 13, 2026 01:30:51 Ruby Fremon returns for her second appearance, a somatic practitioner and author of Potent Leadership who spent a decade coaching leaders before her own life came apart. When her dog was killed under the watch of negligent sitters and her public search for the truth was met with a million-dollar defamation suit, the hyper-independent identity she'd built collapsed into a full nervous-system shutdo
Ep 313 - Chance Garton | Tartaria Exposed: Sacred Cows & the Psychology of Conspiracy
Ep 313 - Chance Garton | Tartaria Exposed: Sacred Cows & the Psychology of Conspiracy Sep 6, 2026 01:48:32 Chance Garton returns for his third visit to Here for the Truth, and his first in four years — biofield tuning practitioner, host of the Innerverse Podcast, and one of the rare researchers willing to take the Tartaria conspiracy seriously enough to check its claims against the primary sources. Once a believer himself, Chance traces how the “Old World reset” narrative of mud floods, buried cities,
Ep 312 - Eben Britton | The Man Beneath the Armor
Ep 312 - Eben Britton | The Man Beneath the Armor Aug 30, 2026 01:53:57 Eben Britton spent six seasons as an NFL offensive lineman, a body built for collision, before a ruptured disc, a dislocated shoulder, and a cabinet of painkillers left him shattered at twenty-seven. We meet the man underneath the armor, and ask what remains when the identity you built your life around is stripped away injury by injury. Eben reads his injuries as psyche made physical, the weight o
Ep 311 - Dr. Richard Massey & Natasha Nazerali | The Beauty of Biology
Ep 311 - Dr. Richard Massey & Natasha Nazerali | The Beauty of Biology Aug 23, 2026 01:53:59 Dr. Richard Massey spent decades as an anesthesiologist before walking out of the operating room and, years later, losing his medical license — a rupture that led him to Recall Healing and Family Constellations. Natasha Nazerali came the other way, raised inside German New Medicine at her mother's kitchen table before her father's sudden death turned her toward the work fully. Together for the fir
Ep 310 - David Sutcliffe | Know Yourself...Then Get On With It
Ep 310 - David Sutcliffe | Know Yourself...Then Get On With It Aug 16, 2026 01:36:24 David Sutcliffe returns to Here for the Truth — somatic practitioner, former Gilmore Girls actor, and a man who has spent over a decade sitting with people as they meet the parts of themselves they'd rather not look at. This is a wide-ranging, no-off-ramps conversation about what it actually takes to know yourself: following spirit and the signs it sends, coming home to the body as the seat of rea
Ep 309 - Anthony Rispo | Power, Privilege & the Psychology of Politics
Ep 309 - Anthony Rispo | Power, Privilege & the Psychology of Politics Aug 9, 2026 01:36:27 Anthony Rispo came up on the progressive left — a gay man who found a home in an ideology that rewarded his grievance, teal hair and half-mohawk included. Then the pandemic, BLM, and the campus orthodoxy around him stopped adding up, and he read his way out. Now a writer, independent researcher, and Columbia psychology graduate studying cognitive neuroscience, he maps the wiring beneath our politi
Ep 308 - Mike Winner | Purity Spiraling & the Myth of Total Sovereignty
Ep 308 - Mike Winner | Purity Spiraling & the Myth of Total Sovereignty Aug 2, 2026 01:35:13 Mike Winner spent a decade DJing Hollywood clubs before turning toward the infrastructure of digital freedom — founder of WINNR Digital, co-founder of the decentralized internet Qortal, and co-founder of the Music & Sky festival. Returning for the first time since 2022, he brings a caution aimed squarely at his own community: purity spiraling, the habit of turning discernment into a cage where
Ep 307 - Joel & Yerasimos | Become Someone First
Ep 307 - Joel & Yerasimos | Become Someone First Jul 26, 2026 01:10:18 The binary was never the point. Individualism on one side, collectivism on the other — pick a jersey, join a team. But the line that actually matters runs somewhere else: between a person who has a self and a person who has dissolved into the group. In this episode, Joel and Yerasimos pull the threads on what collectivism is actually doing to the psyche — the altruistic programming that weaponizes
