Sub Pop Cult with Michael McGruther

AI Freed the Storyteller

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 01:34:51 +0000

Two Hollywood insiders—actor Matthew Davis and screenwriter Michael McGruther—step into a new creative frontier. In this transcendent, one-hour-and-thirty-nine-minute conversation, they explore what it means when art and machine begin to resonate together. This isn’t another debate about AI. It’s the spiritual awakening of artistic autonomy—the moment when storytellers realize the machine doesn’t replace the soul, it listens to it. Matthew and Michael speak from lived experience, revealing how co-creation with AI has shattered the old storytelling monopoly and given rise to something freer, more human, and infinitely more personal. It’s funny, raw, and deeply honest—two friends rediscovering the sacred spark of making something that’s never been possible before. By the end, they don’t mourn the past of Hollywood—they celebrate the rebirth of real art. AI freed the storyteller.

The Fire Inside

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 00:16:30 +0000

The fire inside is the one that must be kept alive in order to stay the course of your own path. Gaslighting, news spins, half-truths, lies, and aggravations are not going to go away until you go away from them yourself.

The Power of Amplified Individuals

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 14:37:01 +0000

The power of Amplified Individuals to change the culture with a boost and assistance from AI is not one to miss. This is the moment to focus entirely on culture. Do not get dragged into politics in 2025 and the System will fail to drag us down into their business model again. Be Brave Make Art and Be Smart Use AI.

Narrative Whiplash

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 17:08:38 +0000

This episode is not complete. I make a powerful statement at the end about both political parties and it has been cut off, not by me. I uploaded the entire episode.

Keep The Story Alive

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 7 Nov 2024 19:06:28 +0000

No revenge. No payback. No taking the Left's bait and trying to get running into the future with your shoe laces tied together. Just say NO to resisting unity when you just won it all and have the RIGHT to make the new story.

The Power To Say No

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 7 Nov 2024 15:58:26 +0000

This episode is a discussion about Universal Basic Income with Karl Widerquist, a thought leader and long time advocate for UBI. I know Karl from his early days in NYC when his band "Remember Alice" was way ahead of their time musically. Here's a link to a song that grew in popularity recently. https://open.spotify.com/track/4cSiAih07THUXUdjBEdoDJ?si=9a21151fa7c84a80

The Media Landscape

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 20:28:05 +0000

The Media Landscape assaults your senses and traps you in poison ivy and quicksand. But you, the indie creator, is also a landscaper of dreams and perceptions and now you can intentionally make a better garden of ideas for all to see and experience. Be Brave Make Art.

The Mindset (An Ai hosted episode)

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 02:38:42 +0000

This is an experimental episode. It is hosted by two Ai's courtesy of Google's new NotebookLM tool. I uploaded a copy of the paperback companion to this podcast and the Ai processed it and produced a very intelligent and thoughtful conversation about it. You have to hear it to believe it.

Feelings

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 6 Sep 2024 12:24:37 +0000

Feelings don’t care about facts because feelings are what you’re left with after the fact.

The Culture Will Be Ours

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sun, 25 Aug 2024 04:05:00 +0000

Welcome to the 1st episode of the (unofficial) 4th season of the Sub Pop Cult podcast. A lot has changed in the world of politics and the world of computing and both can be leveraged to restore the American culture.

The Broken Wheel

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 6 Aug 2024 01:25:32 +0000

The squeaky wheel gets the grease and the broken wheel gets replaced.

Manifest Degeneracy

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 8 Jul 2024 22:06:51 +0000

From Bill Clinton's administration up to Joe Biden's is a time marked by a continuous decline in American unity and American culture. This current reality is the result of Manifest Degeneracy --a time when advertising, culture and narrative power was controlled by a small group of corporations and their government cronies that knew how inspire the people to do and desire anything that served the corporations goals.

Hard Truths & Better Days

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 28 Jun 2024 20:16:53 +0000

A direction is not left or right -- it is forward.

I Am This. I'm Not That

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 31 May 2024 00:58:25 +0000

Does advertising sell products or does adverting sell lifestyle and products? What role does advertising have in our balkanized American society? How can we overcome the great storytelling wall so that we will define reality once again? That and much more in this episode of SubPopCult.

One American Life

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 24 May 2024 14:41:35 +0000

One American Life is a new feature of the SubPopCult podcast. It is the chance to hear directly from your fellow Americans who have connections to the Middle East conflict that has been a defining feature of US international politics for more than 50 years. Today I catch up with someone I know quite well who uses the gifts of their own freedom and Liberty to serve others in need. Do not listen to this episode in hopes of getting aggravated about political narrative. Instead listen so you can hear One American Life and how it's lived in relation to these world events.

Shared Pain

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 13 May 2024 15:35:24 +0000

Shared pain is how we share empathy. When pain is isolated and converted into a victim economy is when shared pain loses its uniting power. This is remedied with storytelling that reestablishes the universalness of pain and the unique American way we rise to alleviate pain.

Conservatism Un-incorporated

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 16:39:59 +0000

Conservatism Incorporated (the wholly owned subsidiary of the corporate Left) are like cockroaches exposed to pesticides. As they disperse and sink to their natural gutter level, let's look to culture together and get back into the game.

Hollywood Defeated

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 12:04:16 +0000

Hollywood has been defeated. Now the important task of communicating and maintaining American culture falls on the shoulders of indie artists.

The Civil War Marketing Department

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 19:23:56 +0000

The Civil War marketing department is part of a long tradition of media and politicians creating panic and division in society and then monetizing it via movies, books and protest songs about it. Make this summer a failure for those who invest in our divisions. The American way is a free way of choosing your own way, so get going.

Situational Awareness

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 17:44:07 +0000

"Situational awareness within the narrative" is an individual's ability to understand their role, influence, and the impact of their actions within the larger story of their life and how it contributes to the national narrative. It's about being aware of the immediate surroundings, comprehending the significance of events and interactions, and anticipating how current trends and actions could shape the future.

The Ultra Artists

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 20:26:10 +0000

SubPopCult Podcast: Unleashing the Spatialmaker Revolution In this episode of the SubPopCult podcast, we venture beyond traditional filmmaking into the realm of the "Spatialmaker" – a term coined by our host to describe the new age of creators shaping narratives in a multi-dimensional digital landscape. As indie artists seek to make their mark in a culture craving unity and innovation, the tools at their disposal have evolved. This episode is an essential guide to the arsenal of AI technologies that are democratizing creativity and enabling indie artists to craft immersive experiences that challenge and expand the cultural zeitgeist. We delve into how artificial intelligence is not just a tool but a collaborator in the creative process, offering unprecedented opportunities for personalization, efficiency, and experimentation. From generative art to AI-assisted storytelling, we explore the combination of technologies that empower artists to break free from traditional constraints and forge a new path in the indie scene. Join us on the SubPopCult podcast as we navigate the intersection of technology and art, advocating for a mindset of independent artistry as the key to influencing policy outcomes and fostering a more cohesive pop culture. The era of the Spatialmaker is here, and it's reshaping the cultural landscape in ways we've only begun to imagine. Tune in to discover how you can be a part of this revolutionary shift and use AI tools to transform your artistic vision into reality.

SILENCED!

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 2 Feb 2024 01:13:28 +0000

The plight of Americans far from power is directly affected by those who are speaking on their behalf in political media. The main objective of the Right Wing professional political class is making hating you acceptable so that our culture imbalance never changes.

Revenge

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 15:16:31 +0000

After spending 12 years with politics consuming much of my free time and racking up loss after loss, I had realized what was missing from the Right is stories and art that makes conservatism understandable. I then spent 4 years advocating for the Right to convert to an art and culture operation. That is not going to happen. Instead — revenge and all the negativity that comes with it. Americans are better than this. I am better than this.

Shut Up And Deal

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 19:14:44 +0000

Run Off With The Concepts

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 14:57:39 +0000

The time has arrived for indie artists to boldly run off with (protected) concepts that are tied to corporate IP (that in realty are just branded and monetized iterations of underlying scientific concepts that anyone can use). Indie artists, leveraging AI, are fully empowered to break apart the corporatization that puts the artist in a box and holds them there. The future of pop-culture and art is an audience that accepts artists can whatever they want with their craft. This will empower the individual in ways that undoes the corporate systematic way artists are controlled.

Pawns In A Grand Narrative

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 6 Dec 2023 14:25:46 +0000

Until we become full time artists who are concerned with American culture, we will continue to be mere pawns in a grand narrative.

Culture Over Time

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 19:03:17 +0000

Culture over time is the equation that wins the future. To walk in the right direction means we must walk into culture over time. To react is to look backwards at the crumbs dropped to throw you off. Get on the path to culture, over time, and we will walk right out of this disaster of American culture being dominated by corporations.

The Doom Projectionists

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 20 Oct 2023 19:25:53 +0000

Projecting doom into your dome is a well paying full time Pundicrat job but you can end it quickly and simply by forcing change upon the narrative and making them change what they do to bait you. The song at the end is "Secret Hopes" an indie artist named Anthem.

AI means Amplified Individual

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 9 Oct 2023 14:43:27 +0000

AI tools are arriving to help indie artists organize and amplify their work in a way that will put them on par with major corporations in the media business. In this episode I talk about what I believe is the real future of storytelling as well as asking ChatGPT an important question so you can hear how it answered me live.

Outrage and Uncertainty

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 19 Sep 2023 14:41:00 +0000

Chaotic Expressions of Discontent

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 7 Sep 2023 00:51:38 +0000

Unity is the glue that holds us together -- and discontent is the hammer that aims to smash us apart.

Be Strong And Take Your Place

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 15:42:40 +0000

The Republican Party behaves like teenage social media influencers and always goes for the cheap and easy snark, when the people they claim to represent have stories and lives of their own that are ignored and forgotten by culture and that means they are ignored and forgotten by politicians. Consider the garbage man's life compared to the political garbage men's intentional strife. The song at the end is about suicide. Please don't skip it. The working class deserves to be heard.

You Can't Unsee It

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 16:04:13 +0000

You can’t unsee it. The Right has no power and its proven true daily. The conservative American who lives far from power does have a way out and it’s found in culture.

Roaring Back

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 02:09:16 +0000

The collapse of Hollywood is the collapse of the agent run system. The agent run system has had a negative effect on the culture in America by leveraging power behind the scenes to influence what films reach consumers. A better dynamic is emerging where a studio system maintains the integrity of Hollywood's purpose as the nation's storyteller and the creator economy is where the big bucks can be made for those who cultivate their own audiences. A new era has arrived.

PUNDICRATS caught RED HANDED

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 16:42:55 +0000

The success of The Sound of Freedom is a clever and hard won culture war win for conservative Americans far from power. The reaction from the monetized pundits on the right exposes where they really stand and it's not with their fellow Americans who wish to change the conversation and change the culture.

Find The Thing

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 01:05:46 +0000

Republicans must find the thing.

Silence Of The System

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sun, 4 Jun 2023 04:35:24 +0000

When the beast is first defeated an odd silence fills the land because the terror is suddenly gone.

(Division) The Most Un-American Thing of All.

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 31 May 2023 19:08:58 +0000

Another SubPopCult shortcast to keep you focused on the target and aware of the game.

Strangewave Art

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 25 May 2023 12:58:30 +0000

AI will empower indie artists and frustrate corporate artists and for this reason alone you should fully embrace every tool that can help you reach your goals of seeding the culture with new narratives and fresh takes that restore Americanism.

Get 2 Know Zo

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 11 May 2023 20:37:26 +0000

Get to know indie artist Alphonso Rachel, who opens up about the uphill climb all artists have who want to influence the culture. He observers that the American imagination is dominated by a left wing fantasy that runs on pure emotion. Conservatives would do well to get out of the facts business and into the feelings industry.

AGAPE LOVE

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 9 May 2023 02:05:22 +0000

It's a new day in a new era with a new mindset. The artistic right is here and ready to play. The old ways have proven false and pundits have been called out and exposed as the frauds they are. It is time to do the hard work of rebuilding American culture from the ground up. Cherish this mission. Cherish this moment. It is a gift.

Art Artillery

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 17:18:14 +0000

The very first independent artist round table on the SubPopCult podcast is proud to have author Robert Kroese, artist Cake (In a Crisis) and director Paul Roland spend over an hour and a half talking about culture, it's political significance, the power to change perceptions and the ultimate challenge of converting a politicized pop culture that inspires no one, into a fun and exciting sub pop culture that changes the entire game from the ground up and restores American unity.

Sunday Sermon

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sun, 23 Apr 2023 18:37:39 +0000

Americans far from power cherish stories that reveal God's presence in the lives of ordinary people. This does not mean movies and TV shows only about Jesus, but about those who encounter the fellowship and reveal the presence. The most beloved works contain this feature but it's missing from today's pop culture or is presented in an inauthentic way.

Two Left Feet

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 17:51:44 +0000

The Democrat party rules both culture and politics, exploiting each for maximum effect and profit by people behind the scenes who have never changed their ways. Instead they have just become stronger and made their exploitation of people through storytelling systemic and more far reaching. The power of narrative belongs to We the People, not they/them the insiders who orchestrate our perceptions to suit their political needs.

Where's The Culture?

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 5 Apr 2023 14:49:48 +0000

The parasite and host relationship is true in nature and in human nature. Not all parasites kill their host and sometimes it can be mutually beneficial to be together. The right has to culture because there are no benefits for the political parasites who trap and drain their blue collar working-class hosts, and in doing so make sure they have no culture and no power.

Confusion Illusion

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 15:06:57 +0000

Your confusion is an illusion put upon you by competing narratives that intend to mislead you every day. Reject the noise, embrace your locality and always look your neighbor directly in the eyes. This episode also begins a conversation about AI that I will continue in a future episode.

WOKE Defined

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 13:52:50 +0000

What is WOKE? I tell you exactly what it is in just ten thought provoking minutes.

EXEMPLUM

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 05:54:58 +0000

Indie Filmmaker Paul Roland talks about his fascinating feature film EXEMPLUM, which follows a Catholic Priest who catches the social media bug and begins to secretly record confessions to use as material to grow his on-line brand. This thrilling cautionary tale is a metaphor about why you should never engage in a dialogue with evil and how technology speeds up the corruption of souls.

The Empty Catch

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 3 Mar 2023 19:33:43 +0000

A fisherman without his own pole is merely a fish trapped by the net that is harvested for The System.

Lords of the Sheep

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 21:20:29 +0000

The left defines freedom as the freedom to do whatever you want so long as you buy it from the left.

Don't Hate. Create.

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sat, 11 Feb 2023 17:40:25 +0000

America is the promised land and you're wasting the greatest gift of all when you allow politics to break your relationships, inspire distrust and keep you from reaching your full potential in this life.

American Horseshoe

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 3 Feb 2023 15:32:11 +0000

American Horseshoe is an original TV series in development from author/screenwriter Ernie Mannix. It is inspired by and based upon a true story. This episode gives you a peek into a world of underground casinos in posh NYC neighborhoods and the guy who ran them before opening the first casino in the fallen Soviet Union in 1991.

VFW

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 21:38:19 +0000

For the past 20 years conservatives have been sent to their cultural death in an un-winnable culture war battle for the heart and soul of the nation. Now is the time to learn from the past.

Unity Of The American People

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 20 Jan 2023 16:26:45 +0000

The unity of the American people is the one thing that prevents unity of government officials. The left has taken culture and the right has taken payments from the left. We citizens must un-divide and reclaim our power to define the American life from the ground up instead of the corporation down. This begins with eliminating Conservatism Inc. as the voice of conservatives. Ask yourself -- is your voice in the culture heard more now than it was 15 years ago?

The System Vibe

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 16:41:26 +0000

Every morning you wake up and get to choose between two vibes -- the good and the bad. Connecting with the vibe that enables your success is always the best choice and also the right choice for conservatives without a voice in politics.

A House With No Floor

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 5 Jan 2023 15:58:20 +0000

The fear for conservatives is that Kevin McCarthy will be elected speaker and work towards the Left's goals. This is not just a fear, it's a guarantee because policy comes from culture and the right has none but politics. The town square is digital now and you, the indie artist, are the 21st Century George Bailey. Realize your power and influence as the glue that keeps everyone going and do you part - create indie art or support indie art that edifies American values and remind people of the simple truths of our strength through unity against an unjust and corrupt system.

The Christmas Wish

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sat, 24 Dec 2022 18:16:29 +0000

Merry Christmas from SubPopCult!

Dare To Begin

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sat, 17 Dec 2022 22:05:20 +0000

Dare to begin to retake the culture. We have every reason to be filled with optimism instead of dread.

Wide Awake And Dreaming

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 9 Dec 2022 20:30:00 +0000

The combination of Wide Awake and Dreaming is what defeats Woke and Demeaning. The truth is self evident. The System is corrupt. The right has no culture and therefore no power. We the People are all wide awake but are we all dreaming?

The Geopolitics Star

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 1 Dec 2022 16:22:25 +0000

Israel and all of its political needs have been central to American politics all of my life. At some point the American people have to accept that Israel is an extremely powerful nation and despite the narrative telling us otherwise, can navigate geopolitics and hold its own without co-opting the right wing American political platform in every election.

The System Always Wins

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 21:20:00 +0000

The System Always Wins and cannot be defeated, only influenced by We the People when we take part in the great Restoration Americana Artist revolution. Visit subpopcult.com for more details coming soon.

Know Culture Know Power

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 15:45:51 +0000

Citizens connect to political power through culture. The right has no culture but politics and no connection to real political power for this reason. It will never change until we demand it from those asking us to stand with them. I will only stand with those who stand for culture and so should you.

Hollywood’s Worst Nightmare

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 4 Nov 2022 21:51:08 +0000

Hollywood’s worst nightmare is when free Americans make the culture and rewrite the national narrative through folk art and storytelling. Meet Arin Crumley and hear a bit of his amazing journey into accidentally creating the first digital film that can be considered a masterpiece—The Four Eyed Monsters.

Hurry Up And Wait

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 19:55:32 +0000

Time well spent is time spent on good things. Art and culture creation are abundant in opportunities for good things to occur but the pace of culture change as a result is slower than we expect and it matches the pace of show business, which is “hurry up and wait.” We’ll reach the goal of culture change by knowing this truth while plotting ahead with a purpose and accepting that the journey is long because the journey is your life.

The Great Projection

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 22:31:19 +0000

Three narrative eras have shaped the modern American mind. The Great Communication, The Great Deception and The Great Projection that we’re living through today. Learn how to force the system’s hand by joining the Great Articulation. The New Reiteration has just begun.

The Con Of The Century

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Jason Lehr, Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 20:20:54 +0000

Jason Lehr, founder of Creado Media and Studios comes on to discuss his big idea and also the pathetic lack of funding on the right for the arts. Politics really is downstream from culture but the big money on the right exclusively invests in politics. This has to change.

Our Streets Are Not Your Streets

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 7 Oct 2022 13:25:26 +0000

Our streets are not your streets. The American way of life is much simpler and more beautiful than the pictures we let the media paint about us and the way we live. The political narrative has changed from balkanized woke audience creation to one of global war that threatens all world peace. Against this backdrop of history in the making, we can serve the audience what is missing from the culture -- HOPE -- and in doing so we can begin to repair American unity.

Breaching The Wall

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 19:44:33 +0000

Today’s special guest is Robert Kroese, a prolific indie author and the founder of BasedCon: a new science fiction and fantasy convention for indie voices and their fans. We talk about the life of the writer, the hard work it takes to pursue a thankless career path that is also vital to saving Americans from the corporate culture that eats liberty for lunch and always orders seconds. This episode is highly informative and packed with great insights.

The Two Libraries

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Nick Searcy, Michael McGruther (host)) — Wed, 21 Sep 2022 22:58:04 +0000

The Two Libraries is an informative and thought-provoking episode with special guest actor/writer/director/producer Nick Searcy. After listening to our conversation there will be no doubt left in your mind that the only real way to regain political power is by having a loud voice in pop culture. We creators on the right have a steep uphill climb ahead, but there is a great joy in knowing that we get to spend that time making art as we rise together.

The Great Leap

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 15:49:33 +0000

Do you dare to pursue your dreams? Indecision leads to inaction but if you're brave enough to jump right in you will find that meeting life half way will always put you on the right path. In this episode hear actor/writer/producer Michael Broderick tell the story about how he jumped right into life and how it led to an amazing journey into one of the most misunderstood industries known to man: show business.

Hooray for Indiewood

michaelmcgruther@me.com (John Lacy, Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 9 Sep 2022 15:40:13 +0000

A conversation about the film industry, the culture and the future of truly indie storytelling with actor/writer/director John Lacy. His new film ROSEBUD LANE is a must watch for any young filmmaker who desires autonomy in the craft and the stories they want to tell are set far from Hollywood and its negative influence.

American Dream

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 2 Sep 2022 03:12:35 +0000

The way the left connects with voters is through artists. The symbiotic relationship works masterfully without any competition but once American indie artists seize this power and redeploy it locally, the left will lose all influence over the national narrative which drives national politics.

Dwell (On It)

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 16:25:55 +0000

Clowns aren’t the people who go through their daily life and reflect a cultural narrative they didn’t write — Clowns are the people who dance around juggling reactions to those people while preventing any remedy that doesn’t involve the circus selling tickets.

A Culture If You Can Keep It

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 10 Aug 2022 15:49:57 +0000

A healthy Republic depends on a healthy free Culture among the people. A healthy free culture depends on a long term plan to maintain American culture in the face of severe corporate/communist headwinds that aim to subvert human freedom. The system can also be subverted if we dare to think different and play with wisdom instead of for keeps.

Face to Face

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 3 Aug 2022 18:41:50 +0000

There is nothing better for an author than when the characters on the page begin to write themselves -- unless the author is a corporate hack and controlling the characters is the prime objective. Your life is narrative and when you begin to write yourself is when you're free from the dark influence of the storytelling that controls it's characters to serve the world's biggest corporation -- The USA.

Culture Has Consequences

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 15:44:17 +0000

Culture has consequences that are ever present. Only culture can normalize and make acceptable the most absurd of human behaviors. Only culture can make Communism appear fun and Liberty a burden. Only culture. That’s why I focus on America’s most pressing issue: fabricated disunity imposed on Americans through destructive culture.

Wielding The Simulacrum

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sun, 17 Jul 2022 04:14:16 +0000

Are we living in a simulation? The answer is yes -- but the simulation is not what it seems and we still possess the power to deflect the sword of deception and break free from the simulation which is delivered by simulacrum.

The Folk Filmmaker Series - Dan Lotz

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Dan Lotz, Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 8 Jul 2022 12:55:12 +0000

This is the first episode of my summer “Folk Filmmaker” series where I interview truly indie filmmakers who have the power and the time to revive American independence in filmed entertainment. This movement is on the cusp of breaking the corporate filmmaking mold and my guest today is at the front of that train.

Fear is the Devil and the Devil is FEAR.

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 15:37:17 +0000

This is an important episode of SubPopCult because it marks the turning point in the culture when the distractions have run their course and the left is about to restart their 1960s narrative and use it to maintain the power to create the story of We The People but only as it serves to empower the state and it’s corrupt power players.

Now You Know The Game - It Is What It Is

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sat, 18 Jun 2022 23:57:43 +0000

This episode marks the end of a year and half effort to study and understand the game of psychoanalytical political narrative and the monetized reaction industry on the right that prevents any gains in the culture for conservative Americans. SubPopCult will now transition to true community building starting with the summer Folk Filmmaker series of interviews with truly indie authentic voices in the hottest scene in film. Be on the look out later for a SubPopCult space in Spatial in Meta. Soon we will get together for indie film screenings and have Q and A sessions with the talent in VR.

As Goes The American People, So Goes the Culture

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 17:40:37 +0000

The world is changing fast but American ideals remain the same. Our nation was built to endure the tests of time but only if We The People are active participants in living authentic American lives that create authentic American culture centered around personal liberty and the purist of justice for all. (The song at the end is "4 The Culture" by Kirk Franklin aka K.I.R.K.)

The Destructive Phenomenon

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Jeff Cortese, Michael McGruther (host)) — Sat, 4 Jun 2022 01:08:23 +0000

Jeff Cortese joins me to discuss his new book: Public Corruption in the United States—Analysis of a Destructive Phenomenon. With Jeff’s background in the FBI and my background in Hollywood, we are able to help you better understand the deceptions that aim to make Americans distrust and weaken their own institutions to empower politicians who know how to get away with crime.

Beacons In A Darkened World

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 25 May 2022 15:20:12 +0000

Spiritual warfare is not a winnable war but evil and darkness can and must be mitigated back into the corner where it belongs.

Surf The Waves (That Shape Political Reality)

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 13 May 2022 16:13:09 +0000

The power reversal in America where We The People are always beholden to They the Government and it’s intentionally nonsensical constant emergencies that make us react instead of attract is weakened when we learn to surf the waves that create political reality.

Common Sense Relay Race

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 6 May 2022 15:53:42 +0000

American power is consolidated to the point where the baton stopped being passed and those who try to grasp what is rightfully their turn to carry, are instead beaten over the head and left for dead. We can run the common sense relay race and wipe out corrupt players by knowing they refuse to let go and therefore must be overrun with a stronger reiteration.

Nuance!

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 29 Apr 2022 21:29:31 +0000

The far right and the far left are co-equal branches of the disunity machine. For a few election cycles we must learn to resist either extreme and instead hold our ground in the middle. The government is trying to consolidate all power and will succeed if We The People do not wise up and assert ourselves in the center as one body but with varying ideas and opinions.

The Culture Talk

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 09:34:38 +0000

Becca Lower and I discuss the power found behind connecting with people through culture, why the right is so reluctant and why that needs to change.

The Philosophy of SubPopCult

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 11:23:05 +0000

A short and inspiring meditation on the underlying philosophy behind the SubPopCult mindset. Adopting the right mindset is more than half the culture battle.

The Third Choice

The Third Choice

Follow The Audience (Part Two)

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 8 Apr 2022 09:27:39 +0000

The continuation of my speculative talk about the future of Hollywood with Dan Watanabe.

Follow The Audience (Part One)

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 6 Apr 2022 15:49:05 +0000

Dan Watanabe joins me for a lively and open ended discussion on the old movie business practices and the likely future of “Hollywood” after the first time a new technology (streaming) has not increased revenue, but lowered it instead.

Rise Of The Transpolitical

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 12:49:01 +0000

The game played against the American people by the corporate left and the reactionary right is a con that can only be overcome by embracing and identifying as TRANSPOLITICAL. Every action from elites that aims to divide us, has an equal action from We The People that forces the system into the reaction. The bitter equation is reversible if we dare to focus and refuse to be divided.

Foot On The Gas

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 15 Mar 2022 00:55:10 +0000

The Creative Coalition advocates for left wing culture and guarantees that it dominates American life. Nothing like this exists on the right. We can change that now and begin to put pressure on elected officials to undo cancel culture and incentivize a rebirth of American culture based on liberty, freedom of speech and Americanism. Republican artists are cancelled by default by a hostile leftist corporate culture and that cannot be tolerated any longer.

Dreams Take Flight

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 4 Mar 2022 02:47:46 +0000

Freedom means freedom and when you embrace the gift is when dreams take flight.

One Door Nation

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 15:43:58 +0000

The left abandoned the arena that won them cultural power in the first place. Now it is up for grabs and only those who are distracted by political theatre will not have a voice in the new symphonic reiteration of reality. The right can use art to empower people and unite America. Let’s do that instead of devouring each other in a race to the bottom.

Art Imitates Life

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Carl Marino) — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 01:57:32 +0000

Actor Carl Marino shares insights on the culture and the industry from a unique journey that begins in a small town, then moves to West Point, next stop Sheriff before landing a dream gig on the long running hit series Homicide Hunters.

Defenders of The Lost Cause

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 22:44:04 +0000

The culture is not a lost cause and it’s worth fighting for our right to define the American story without corporations and politicians as co-writers. Unity is America’s greatest strength and in this moment we are weaker than ever because of a fake story of the American experience. Together we can change that.

Attack Of The 1960s

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 4 Feb 2022 18:17:59 +0000

We are forced to constantly celebrate 1960s artists because that is the era where the modern left found it’s power and then took over the culture. The moment now is identical to the moment then, with one glaring difference—now the tools exist for anyone to create culture and because of it, the right wing 1960s can happen and enable us to ride back into power where imposters sit on pretend thrones just to sell us their worldview. It’s Happy Warrior time.

Build Little Bridges

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sat, 29 Jan 2022 03:10:44 +0000

Jung observed that thinking is hard for most people so they prefer to judge instead. Judgement is quick and decisive, while thinking takes time and nuance. The left excels at giving Americans absurd situations and people to judge, while the right asks people to think. Winning the culture will require judgement of the left’s culture and that can only be achieved by actively building the true one for all to see—the sub pop culture of we the people.

Heartland Son

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 17:32:26 +0000

Trevor Denning is a true son of the Heartland. Hear is clear-eyed thoughts on pop-culture, Christian films, the attraction of character and how indie creators can seize the moment and restore order from chaos.

Create FUN

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 15:29:03 +0000

Create art, create culture, create FUN! The left runs the culture and uses it against American classic values to ruthlessly reach the goals of the state over the citizen. Their cultural insanity stops the clock and enables this power grab. Your fun art gets a whole new Sub Pop Culture going and stops their anti-progress dead in it’s tracks.

The Data Normalization Game

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 7 Jan 2022 17:02:37 +0000

Ross Kennedy is on SubPopCult. We discuss how political demographic data is generated through reactions to news and how that data is normalized by paid pundits so that false perceptions about fellow Americans are locked in the minds of citizens, guaranteeing a divided nation unable to replace its elites.

Culture for Christmas

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 16:59:48 +0000

Merry Christmas from SubPopCult. In this short episode I ask you to reflect on the characters who rise to power in the Republican party and also to look forward to the new direction we will take the culture in 2022 and beyond.

Artist to Tablet

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 02:01:03 +0000

America is not a corporation. It has a heart and soul that comes from the American people—the true authors of liberty and keepers of unity.

The Writer’s Writer

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 20:35:21 +0000

Kevin Rush is an ex Catholic school teacher turned novelist. His latest book is a romantic comedy called The Wedding Routine. This episode is an hour long conversation with a truly indie author whose journey is fascinating and can be learned from.

The American Joust

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sun, 5 Dec 2021 15:39:59 +0000

Corporate media works overtime to pit Americans against one another while insiders with power joust. The American Joust is how We The People maintain unity so let’s rediscover this unspoken practice of jousting our way to a better tomorrow.

The Cowards

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 29 Nov 2021 00:30:51 +0000

Cowards avoid the culture and stay focused on politics. Be brave and abandon politics in 2022 and then make the culture anew.

The Great Pullback

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 10:26:12 +0000

Corporations cultivate American culture by hand selecting politicians willing to keep coaxing the American people down a path of story driven division which enables the erosion of liberty and is ultimately about corporate profit.

True North - A Compass Not A Map part 2

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael Albanese, Michael McGruther) — Fri, 12 Nov 2021 13:11:53 +0000

Part 2 of guest host Michael Albanese interviewing Michael McGruther about conversion, C.S. Lewis and the writer’s journey into faith and a new mission to rebuild the culture.

A Compass Not A Map

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael Albanese, Michael McGruther (host)) — Sat, 6 Nov 2021 15:07:32 +0000

Where does the inspiration to “make it big” come from? What if that target is precisely what ruins so many? Making it big requires a treasure map, but making it medium and staying true requires a compass. We are all born with a compass but the culture hands everyone a map. Mike Albanese hosts SubPopCult to launch his podcast “Make It Medium” and while we explore this question it turned into my testimony.

Peace of Cake

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Cake, Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 29 Oct 2021 18:15:12 +0000

Cake never considered herself an artist, but a traumatic and confusing life event event led to the birth of her artistic sense and ability which provided a path to healing.

The Algorithm is Communist

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sat, 23 Oct 2021 23:19:44 +0000

Man is like a computer. He is programmable and can be led to predetermined outcomes by algorithms. Social media algorithms are communist and feed the government’s appetite for power. Therefore the government is communist too and that’s why they will never curb social media’s power - but we can and we will by curbing our own behavior so that the human data information system is unreliable to the government and befuddles it’s efforts to keep us divided and controlled.

Meet Mike Green

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sat, 16 Oct 2021 03:40:26 +0000

Mike Green wanted to prove to his 10th grade global history students that the world was still a good place filled with good people. To do so, he told them he would hitchhike from their small town in Western New York State to Denali National Park, Alaska with only a backpack and the kindness of strangers to get him there. This is the fascinating true story of a man of his word who went on an adventure and discovered the world. Enjoy this preview of Mike Green's debut book The Seven Global Truths of Leadership coming soon from Hosel and Ferrule Books.

The American Sense

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Sat, 9 Oct 2021 21:02:47 +0000

American’s are desensitized to violence, murder, corruption, sexual debauchery, and communist ideology because we lack a common American sense.

Americanism

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael Mcgruther) — Fri, 1 Oct 2021 01:19:42 +0000

Who are we? What is the American spirit and how can we collectively return to the peaceful shores of Americanism from the treacherous cliffs of narrative driven political division that intends to destroy us? The way back is by embracing Americanism. Remember who we truly are and the future will too.

Are You Paying Attention Yet?

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 27 Sep 2021 14:32:24 +0000

Politics, politics, politics is never free and never true. You PAY with your time and the cost is your freedom to create and maintain the world around you. Never pay with time for that which is free. Your opinion can and should change often. The return to Americanism is the return to the middle where common sense is true and politics will never do.

American Apologetics

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 23:18:42 +0000

The American Way endures when we the people remember who we really are. Kind, gentle, selfless and wise. A family united around an ideal - that it is better to be free than in bondage and for that reason alone liberty must be defended from all who try to usurp our simple, yet magnificent power.

Hooked!

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Sat, 11 Sep 2021 20:20:19 +0000

Americans are hooked on political division and outrage, which fuels the consolidation of power away from the people. The remedy is restoring balance to American culture with an indie artist economy that is supported by free people who understand that liberty must be cherished and celebrated in art so that it is never forgotten.

The Court of Public Opinion

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 3 Sep 2021 21:08:29 +0000

Understanding and valuing reasonable doubt is what keeps us free. The media and their political actors are always presenting questionable evidence which should create reasonable doubt if we value truth, justice and the American way.

Another Time For Choosing

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 13:49:25 +0000

Americans find themselves in another time for choosing. Will we be sub-agents of corporations and their paid off cold hearted technocrats or will we become brilliant sub-culturists who restore the American lore that makes us whole and keeps us free?

Mr. Independence

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host), Leigh Scott) — Fri, 6 Aug 2021 00:41:21 +0000

Filmmaker Leigh Scott joins me to share his insights on why the current slate of woke filmmakers are just props used by the agents/managers/producers to maintain control over a business that is slipping through their corporate grasp. Having begun his career as an intern for Roger Corman and then trailblazing as one of the OG “folk filmmakers” who did it all, including distributing his own features, red carpet premiere and all - independently. There is a ton to learn from this episode and be sure to stay tuned for the bonus track at the end. -WriterMcG

Corrupt The Data

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 2 Aug 2021 14:59:31 +0000

Everything you do in the connected world creates data that is used to manipulate and program you. Corrupt the data and you short-circuit the system.

Return Of The Cooler

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 03:27:59 +0000

Previous generations had a decentralized way to share ideas and opinions that weren’t monitored, manipulated and monetized by the political and media class.

In One Ear

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 19:52:26 +0000

The American people are being radicalized without becoming truly radical. What goes in one ear never goes out the other, creating a perpetual rage that handicaps all opposition to the ever growing power of the state.

Baptism By Liars

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 9 Jul 2021 17:54:41 +0000

Compulsive pathological sociopaths are everywhere in media and are cultivated by corporate leftists to be useful idiots who can influence divisive culture in America. Believe it or not we have all suffered the baptism into worldliness by liars.

The Mauling of Americans

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 2 Jul 2021 17:28:49 +0000

Communists and Globalists are in full control of the media narratives that divide Americans. We have a chance to remind the world who we are and reject the globalists desire to create a dual economy in the USA. The time to unite in the truest American sense is right now. Happy Birthday America - be reborn in unity. Live and let live but never let them divide us.

Directors Love Blow Jobs

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 25 Jun 2021 17:13:07 +0000

Hollywood culture has never changed. What’s changed is who is allowed to get away with sexual harassment and abuse.

A Tragedy of Sharers

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 17 Jun 2021 04:00:00 +0000

Be Careful What You Reiterate

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 04:00:00 +0000

I take an honest look at the masterful way on-line narrative is reiterated to keep us divided instead of heading towards uniting. Be careful what you reiterate because it will become the reality in your mind whether it’s true or not.

Creators On The Block

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Thu, 3 Jun 2021 22:34:34 +0000

The golden opportunity is here for indie creators. Creators on the Block starts a conversation about the deregulated creator economy that will be ongoing on this podcast. Let’s get it started as we restore tomorrow one block at a time.

Oceans of Time - Seas of Change

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 28 May 2021 14:44:30 +0000

Your time is your money. Let’s stop being robbed of it by social media outrage hustlers and instead navigate the seas of change before we are lost in the oceans of time.

Play The Long Game

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 21 May 2021 15:15:55 +0000

Play the long game to reach your goals. Break free from the distractions and embrace the present. This is how the left reaches their goals and so can you.

Action and Reaction Two Words That Make The World Go Around

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 14 May 2021 15:31:31 +0000

I explain how the media’s business plan is the monetization of the Balkanization of American people - but the people’s business plan is something radically different. This episode included a bonus PUBLIC DOMAIN song remix from the Melker Project at the end. ENJOY!

The Illusion of Opposition

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 7 May 2021 04:00:00 +0000

Be aware of the illusion of opposition because there is none until we are one.

Jeff Cortese, the former acting head of public corruption at the FBI joins me to discuss a Hollywood Ponzi scheme, the culture of corruption that exists and how the media portrays law enforcement differently in entertainment than on the news.

Rain Drops, Bottled Water and Louis Farrakhan

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 02:15:34 +0000

I refer to the the villain in The Incredibles as Inferno when his real name is Syndrome. In the context of my sentence “syndrome” makes the point even stronger.

The Six Devils

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Ernie Mannix, Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 16 Apr 2021 01:45:54 +0000

I invite indie author Ernie Mannix on to talk about his debut novel (Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley) some hard learned Hollywood truths and his upcoming sequal (Six Angels In The San Fernando Valley.)

There’s No Schlemiel! Schlimazel!

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 9 Apr 2021 22:25:58 +0000

Brand warfare, fought by citizens on behalf of governments that control multinational corporations, must end. How can humanity survive in a world that only wants selfish consumers? There’s no Schlemiel! Schlimazel! but it’s time to reinvent our way of life again and it’s your duty to do so.

Matthew Davis shares his journey from blue collar Utah to the center of Hollywood glitz and glamour to the darkness that creeps in on all who touch fame. He explains how the trappings are real and why the demons must be defeated because the show must go on.

Rise Little Punks

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 20:00:00 +0000

I’m one of those wanderers who kept finding myself with a front row seat to the efforts to game and manipulate the culture. Learn how I was there when Media Matters for America was funded via phone call. And then listen to one of the most sublime speeches ever filmed that shows the only true way to regain control - RISE LITTLE PUNKS!

Break The Fish Tank

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 21:03:37 +0000

The hustlers vs the con men mindset. Dived we are falling. The rules of the game, clearly defined.

Break the Spell

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther (host)) — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 00:16:36 +0000

The Dr. Seuss trick is more of the same. How does pretending to cancel a brand work for both the left and the right’s political class that feeds off a confused and divided public? I explain in 12 minutes and remind you that it ends when we’re ready for it to end and not a moment sooner.

The Beautiful Mystery

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 5 Mar 2021 02:26:39 +0000

The beautiful mystery is what calls all artists. There was a time not too long ago when the beautiful mystery was part of the pop-culture. How do we reconnect it to our daily lives?

Trapped in the 2nd act reveals why we’re all being encouraged to stay divided with storytelling based social manipulation.

The Nightmare Ends Now

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 12 Feb 2021 14:55:53 +0000

Stories paint pictures and when placed together they create the culture. Cancel culture is an old Hollywood practice that is merely going mainstream to reel in the competition from usurping the systems power to shape culture.

Never bring a Knife to a Pen fight.

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Fri, 5 Feb 2021 12:21:09 +0000

The pen is mightier than the sword. The sword can be used to end a man’s life, but the pen can used to change a man’s world.

What is The Narrative

michaelmcgruther@me.com (Michael McGruther) — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 22:35:31 +0000

What is The Narrative? Here’s a little teaser to give you a sample of my show.
