The Sub-Subculture Podcast

Your subculture submariners take a detour off the cultural deep-dives to explore the Titanic, from the failures that led to its sinking and the lives saved to the extraordinary schemes proposed to raise the wreck. We look at how the ship was finally discovered, why recovering it remains so difficult, and the tragic Titan submersible disaster that brought the dangers of deep-sea exploration back into focus.

Your subculture chameleons are exploring extreme body modifications, from tattoos and piercings to tongue splitting, implants and more. Why do people choose to radically alter their bodies? We explore the research behind body modification, identity and psychology, before meeting record holders and the infamous Black Alien Project.

But where did the idea come from? We explore chemtrail conspiracy theories alongside the real history of weather modification, cloud seeding and government experiments such as MKULTRA, while asking why conspiracy theories can be so compelling.

Your subculture 'simps' explore the world of OnlyFans, from its origins as a subscription-based content platform to its rise as a major player in the creator economy.

Along the way, we examine the controversies surrounding OnlyFans and debate whether it simply offers a new way to monetise attention and intimacy.

Along the way, we examine club loyalty, fan culture, football hooliganism, and where passionate support can become tribalism.

Your two subculture scientists explore the anti-vaccine movement, tracing its history from early vaccine scepticism to modern anti-vaxxer communities, conspiracy theories, and social media. Along the way, we examine vaccine hesitancy, public trust, medical misinformation, and why this movement continues to divide opinion.

Your SubCulture Submariners explore cave diving, technical diving, and advanced scuba diving, from the specialist skills and equipment required to the personalities attracted to this extreme sport.
