Tonight on Veritas... our special guest is Ryan Wardman.

The last time we spoke, Ryan had just begun his modern odyssey. Since then, he has kept moving, kept searching, and kept asking the kinds of questions most people avoid.

In the past year alone, Ryan has spent months in Odessa on the Black Sea, traveled through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, explored the caves of Georgia, returned to the pyramids of Egypt, stood among the stones of Samarkand, and climbed the highlands of Scotland. He promoted a film in Paris and now calls Moldova his base of operations.

Along the way, he has focused on some of the biggest mysteries of our time. The Moon. The Ark of the Covenant. The rise of digital identity and human 2.0. The mass migration changing Europe. He has seen events firsthand that do not match the official story, and he has experienced moments that defy easy explanation, including a glowing orb that appeared to him one night in Stockholm.

Tonight, we continue the conversation. What has Ryan seen. What has he learned. And what does his journey reveal about the world we now face together.

Lan is the Welsh word for "pure."

This is the featured song for this VERITAS episode. It is based on the Welsh folk song Lisa Lan, performed in the original language. The vocals speak of love, grief, and memory. The arrangement combines ancient melody with modern cinematic elements to reflect the emotional depth and mystery of Ryan Wardman's journey.
