Brad Lail, host of The Awakened Podcast, joins us for a conversation that runs from deep spirituality to the Smith-Mundt Act, the 1948 law governing US government information programs that was rewritten in 2012 so State Department-produced media could be aimed at American audiences. Brad's show is built around waking up to manipulation, media narratives and spiritual deception, and that's the thread here: how propaganda shapes what we think we know, what awakening actually means beyond the new-age version, and where faith fits for someone who spends his days digging into UFOs, hidden history and the unexplained.
