She Refused to Sign a Social Justice Pledge to Become a Therapist. They Kicked Her Out.
2026/10/29
What is your therapist actually taught in graduate school, and what happens to a student who won’t go along with it?
Leslie Elliott Boyce entered a counseling master’s program to deepen her study of psychology and how to help people in emotional pain. What she found inside the classroom changed her view of the entire profession, and ended her path to becoming a licensed therapist.
In this conversation, she takes us through what she was asked to believe, what she was asked to say to clients, and what happened when she refused. Dr. Roger McFillin, who sat through his own version of this training two decades ago, and Tracy Thurman dig into why it’s happening, what it means for anyone sitting across from a therapist today, and what real healing actually requires.
About Leslie Elliot Boyce:Leslie Elliott Boyce is a coach, consultant, and founder of The Radical Center, where she helps individuals and families navigate personal challenges, relationships, and life transitions. With a background in psychology, clinical mental health counseling education, and natural health, Leslie takes an unconventional approach to personal growth and well-being. Her work focuses on topics including identity, gender, relationships, medical trauma, and spiritual growth. A vocal critic of ideological influences in modern mental health practices, Leslie advocates for individual autonomy, critical thinking, and authentic human connection.

Is Schizophrenia Demonic Possession? | Jerry Marzinsky
2026/10/26
What if the voices heard by people diagnosed with schizophrenia aren’t hallucinations? Jerry Marzinsky spent 35 years in psychiatric hospitals, prisons, and emergency rooms, and he did what almost no one in his field would: he asked the voices what they wanted.
What they told him led him somewhere psychiatry won’t go: entity attachment, demonic possession, and what it means if our thoughts aren’t always our own. Roger and Tracy share the interview, their own reflections, and an experience in their own home they can’t explain any other way.
About Jerry Marzinsky:Jerry is a retired licensed psychotherapist with more than 35 years of experience studying the thought processes and voices of psychotic and criminally insane patients in some of the nation’s most volatile psychiatric institutions. A recipient of the State of Arizona’s Meritorious Service Award and Pima College’s Apple Award for teaching, he is co-author of An Amazing Journey into The Psychotic Mind – Breaking the Spell of the Ivory Tower. He is also a commercial pilot, scuba diver, and long-distance motorcycle rider.

How Speed, LSD, and MK Ultra Gave Birth to the Chemical Imbalance Theory
2026/10/22
Was the chemical imbalance theory a scientific discovery, or did it grow out of MK Ultra-era drug experiments?
Philosopher Justin Garson, author of The Madness Pill, traces the history of psychiatry from LSD in 1960s San Francisco to the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia, and how it paved the way for every “chemical imbalance” theory that followed. In 1973, Justin’s father was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. He recovered through drug-free talk therapy and went back to work. Twelve years later, no psychiatrist would treat him without drugs, and he never recovered. Justin set out to understand what changed.
The answer runs through Solomon Snyder. Snyder took LSD in San Francisco in 1963 and then turned to amphetamine-induced psychosis. His lab was flush with FBI money, and some of his colleagues were tied to the CIA’s MK Ultra program. We discuss how speed ended the Summer of Love in Haight-Ashbury, the CIA’s history of flooding communities with drugs, Charles Manson and the book Chaos, where the term “conspiracy theorist” came from, and psychiatry’s long role as an instrument of state control.
We also go beyond materialism: spiritual emergency, the Hearing Voices Network, why people diagnosed with schizophrenia often fare better in developing countries, and why depression may be a signal rather than a symptom.
About Justin Garson:Justin Garson, Ph.D., is a philosopher, author, and Professor of Philosophy at Hunter College and The Graduate Center, City University of New York. His work challenges conventional understandings of mental illness, exploring the history of psychiatry, the evolution of the mind, and alternative perspectives on mental health.
He is the author of several books, including Madness: A Philosophical Exploration and his latest, The Madness Pill: One Doctor’s Quest to Understand Schizophrenia (2026), which investigates the controversial drug experiments that helped shape modern biological psychiatry. His writing has appeared in Psychology Today, Aeon, and Mad in America.

You Don't Get What You Want. You Get What You Believe (The Placebo Effect)
2026/10/19
Is manifestation real, or just another pop-culture fad sold on vision boards and wishful thinking?
In this episode, Roger and Tracy go beyond manifestation to the science of belief, with research and real stories that will challenge everything you've been told about your health and your body. Genetic determinism is a lie, and once you understand the power of your beliefs, you'll never look at your health, your relationships, or your life the same way again.

California Tried to Shut Down the Crappy Childhood Fairy | Anna Runkle
2026/10/15
Anna Runkle, the Crappy Childhood Fairy, is an author, educator, and creator whose work focuses on childhood trauma, emotional dysregulation, and what is commonly described as Complex PTSD. Her YouTube channel has more than one million subscribers, and her book Re-Regulated lays out the daily practice at the heart of her work. After years of conventional therapy left her struggling, Runkle developed an alternative approach based on the techniques that transformed her own life. The California Board of Psychology shut down her coaching business, claiming she was practicing psychology without a license. Now she's suing the Board in federal court.

Obedience & Conformity: 5 Experiments That Demonstrate How We Are Programmed
2026/10/05
Dr. Roger McFillin and Tracy Thurman examine the Milgram obedience experiments, Solomon Asch’s conformity studies, Festinger and Carlsmith’s cognitive dissonance experiment, and Facebook’s massive emotional contagion experiment, breaking down what each reveals about authority, conformity, manipulation, and how easily human behavior can be influenced.

Who's Really Behind the Curtain? | Matthew Lynn Guthrie
2026/10/01
Matthew Lynn Guthrie is the award-winning director of Follow the Silenced, named Best of Festival and Best Director at the Santa Monica International Film Festival. He spent four years pulling back the curtain on a story the government worked hard to bury. Matt shares the childhood tragedy that set him on this path and the voice he heard in a hospital waiting room that he still follows today. He explains why he believes America never really won World War II, why there are family names no one is allowed to say, and the hidden finding from the famous obedience experiments that shows how one person can break the spell. The conversation moves from propaganda and engineered division to the nonphysical forces that feed on fear and the shift in consciousness that could end it all overnight.

How The Chemical Imbalance Lie Is Now Pushed on 7 Year Olds (Final Solo Episode!)
2026/09/24
Your child's school library has a new genre: psychiatric propaganda for seven-year-olds. In his final solo episode, Dr. Roger McFillin goes full circle, back to the chemical imbalance lie he exposed in the very first episode five years ago. This time he follows it to where it lives now, in picture books written for second graders. He breaks down My Life with Anxiety, a children's book that teaches a little girl her butterflies are a lifelong condition, that avoiding sleepovers keeps her safe, and that relief comes from swallowing something. Then he turns to Psychiatry for Kids, co-written by a dermatologist, an ophthalmologist, and a pill-promoting social media psychiatrist. That book lists daydreaming, talking too much, and riding a skateboard as warning signs of mental illness, and it ends by telling your child exactly what they should become.
This isn't education. It's recruitment into the psychiatry cult, delivered before a child is old enough to question it. Dr. McFillin explains how the propaganda works, why the people spreading it believe they're being kind, and what it means for a generation taught it's broken before it learns to read. He also answers the question every parent should be asking: why start with children?
This is the last episode from the laptop where it all began. The new Radically Genuine launches Thursday, October 1st.
The War on the Amish/ Tracy Thurman on Viva Frei's Show
2026/09/17
Tracy Thurman joins Viva Frei to break down Pennsylvania's war on the Amish. The listeria death she says never happened. The raid on Amos Miller's dairy. USDA agents telling Miller to do the one thing his own agreement forbade. The 502-page Pennsylvania rule that would let health officials into a schoolhouse without a warrant and question children without their parents present. And why the Amish — a people whose faith won't let them sue the state — keep getting picked. Tracy co-hosts Radically Genuine with Dr. Roger McFillin starting October 1st. radicallygenuine.com
Are We Being Influenced By Something Unseen?
2026/09/10
What if the feeling that rolled in this morning didn't start inside you at all? Dr. Roger McFillin describes a week of unexplained dread and asks whether the three explanations modern psychology and material science offer — the event, the mind, the brain/body — are built on a paradigm that's simply incomplete. Can we pick up on the energy of others and events outside us? To what degree has energy weapons and technology been developed? A provocative episode that explores questions many are afraid to ask.

We Are Your Alarm Clock: The New Radically Genuine
2026/08/27
Many people sense that something is profoundly wrong with the world they are living in. They feel it before they have words for it: that every system around them, medical, political, financial, the media itself, was built to keep them distracted while the cage went up. They watch the news and feel powerless. They seek help and leave feeling worse. They follow the rules and find that the rules were written by people who never intended to follow them.The powerful are counting on us to stay asleep, divided, afraid, and disconnected from our divine nature. We are your alarm clock, and it's time to wake up.
Radically Genuine is becoming the voice of the awakening, speaking to you and for you, if you have remembered who you are. You are a soul, divinely created and deliberately placed, here on purpose and here on time. You chose this life, this body, and this moment knowing exactly what you were walking into. Which means you are not here by accident, and you are not here to comply.
Wisdom has been hidden from us. Advancements in healthcare have been suppressed on purpose, because health does not sell the way sickness does. We have been under attack, and none of it was an accident. We are walking toward Agenda 2030 on schedule, and the control mechanisms are not coming. They are already here, already built, already running, and most people have not noticed because they were installed as conveniences.
But the real target was never your body. It was your mind. Consciousness is the last frontier in a war for human sovereignty, and it is the one they cannot take unless you hand it over. This is why we bring you consciousness research and post material science, the work showing that awareness is not manufactured by the brain and that a human being is far more than the machine we were told we are. We are unapologetically pro human. We bring you the dissidents, the innovators, the censored scientists, the artists, and those with spiritual gifts, the people building the alternatives and holding the line while the rest of the world looks away.
After five years, the show is evolving. This is the first recording from the new studio. Dr. Roger McFillin introduces his new co-host and RadGen Media co-founder, Tracy Thurman: how they found each other, what they have each been shown, and what this platform becomes on October 1st.
Your soul chose to wake up. Consider this the alarm.
