The Contrarian Podcast

A contrarian is someone who thinks differently and strives to challenge the status quo. We seek to investigate phenomena that shape our fragmented world, exploring the contemporary cultural and political landscape with depth and sincerity. The mainstream media suffers from poorly engaging with those who suffer the consequences of public policy, where we aim to fill that vacuum. We do not have all the answers, but through authentic conscious discussion and free thought, we wish to deliver a real impact to our listeners.

The World From A Female Perspective

An insightful and definitely a fun episode where two best friends delve into a conversation that definitely affects you! (Intro Music: "Roll Away" by Hawk1ng).
