What does it take to become one of the most trusted voices in music?

This week, we’re joined by Raina Douris—host of NPR’s World Cafe—for a conversation about music, storytelling, and how artists are discovered today.

From her early days in Canadian radio to interviewing some of the biggest names in the industry, Raina shares what’s changed since the 90s… and what hasn’t.

If you grew up discovering music on the radio, this one’s going to hit.

This week we go deep down the rabbit hole — starting with The X-Files and ending up in some of the biggest conspiracy conversations of the last 30 years.

We talk UFO sightings, media influence, aliens, 9/11 conspiracies, and even how global politics and Canadian trade deals get wrapped into the same discussions.

From 90s paranoia to modern internet conspiracy culture — were shows like The X-Files just entertainment… or were they tapping into something bigger?

Season 3 Episode 15 is out now. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
