Through immersive sound, travel, and intimate interviews, Baudelaire journeys from Benin to Haiti and across the Haitian diaspora to uncover the true\u00a0story of Vodou \u2014 a story of resistance, faith, and cultural survival that\u2019s often been distorted by fear and colonial mythmaking. Blending investigative storytelling, history, and personal narrative, <em>The Vodou Project <\/em>challenges old perceptions and celebrates the spiritual and cultural heritage at the heart of Haitian identity. Creator: Baudelaire\u00a0Ceus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two Thousand and Late <\/strong>(Atypical Artists)<br \/>\n<em>Two Thousand and Late <\/em>tells\u00a0 the\u00a0story of a demon from hell sent to bring along the apocalypse. Only, when they arrive, they find that the end of the world isn\u2019t as straightforward as they thought. Best described as <em>Fleabag <\/em>meets <em>Venom, Two Thousand and Late <\/em>is a dark, angry story that\u2019s full of hard-won optimism. It\u2019s about imperfect, destructive people who want to shape the world into something better. There are lessons to be learned about mankind, about\u00a0community, and about yourself even as you burn everything down.

But in 2022, the Guidestones became a flashpoint that resulted in a real-world act of domestic terror &#8211; a mystery that to this day, has never been\u00a0solved. This all-new podcast takes listeners to the small town of Elberton, GA and on a wild ride through granite quarries, graves, cults, Confederate monuments, a swatting raid, and A LOT of explosives.
