🎙️ Episode 5: Puppet Master – We the Silenced
by Olga Foreign | Who Yelling Now? Podcast
🕰️ Runtime: 9 minutes 48 seconds

“They wrote the roles. We memorized the lines.
But I’ve read the script. And I’m not playing it anymore.”

This episode cuts deep—and doesn't apologize. In just under ten minutes, Puppet Master – We the Silenced invites listeners into a poetic reckoning with the invisible hands shaping our lives.

Olga Foreign walks the tightrope between art and outrage as she deconstructs the global distractions, political theater, and emotional manipulation that keep people quiet—complacent—while the powerful profit. Through eight original spoken word pieces, this episode calls out:

🧵 The strings pulled to divide communities and start wars
🧠 The psychological grooming of citizens into silence
🎭 The performative power plays of leaders who start wars but never bleed
📵 The erosion of identity, privacy, and empathy
💰 And the mass monetization of misery—from Diddy’s trial to foreign airstrikes

It’s not a call to war. It’s a call to wake.
A call to wonder who benefits from our silence, and to question the roles we’ve been handed.

Whether you are a poet, activist, artist, or ordinary listener trying to make sense of extraordinary times, this episode asks:

“Are we shouting at each other just to avoid yelling at the truth?”

Olga Foreign steps onto the stage with fire and clarity, asking not for war—but for witness.
We the Silenced explores how "We the People" have been cast into roles designed by profiteers, leaders, and ghostwriters of chaos. From warlords in suits to kings of silence, this is not a performance—it’s a protest.

What if the strings we see are just the ones they let us notice?

What if our silence isn’t peace—but programming?

🎧 Listen. Reflect. Refuse the role.

“We have every right to be angry. But we also have the right to redirect that anger—to use it, not be used by it. The puppet strings may be tangled. But the scissors? They’re in our hands.”

Sometimes the truth is handed to usby someone we despise.

In this episode, Olga Foreign explores what it meansto be exposed, to rise,and to fall back again.

A trilogy of poems—
The Gift with Filthy Hands,
The Light We Lit,and The Same Old Fire—
chart the arc of reckoning, resistance, and relapse.

#TheGiftWeNeverWanted

What if the reflection didn’t just stay in the glass?
What if it stepped out, multiplied, and marched?

In this bonus reflection, Olga Foreign delivers “Built Here,” a poetic reminder that what we fear was not imported—it was constructed, replicated, and rooted in the same soil we call home.

The Mirror’s Offsprings asks not just who they are… but how many more are waiting to emerge.

This one is short. Sharp. And necessary.

We didn’t ask for the mirror. We didn’t want to see what was behind the slogans, the flags,
the carefully framed history.

But we saw it.

In this episode, Olga Foreign delivers The Mirror We Feared—
a piercing spoken word piece that holds America accountable
not just for what it has done—but for what it has ignored.

He didn’t create the fire.
He just made sure we all saw it burning.

Racism. Greed. Division. Nepotism.
The truths we buried, now glowing under the ash.

This isn’t a political episode—
it’s a human one.

Listen. Reflect.
And ask yourself: What do you see in the mirror?

Episode 1 — Not Enough to Be Enemy

What happens when a country goes to war — and decides you're not even worth fearing?

In this opening episode of Who Yelling Now?, Olga Foreign delivers a searing spoken word piece that asks a devastating question:
Why didn’t America place its African American citizens in camps during WWII… like it did Japanese Americans?

Not because of mercy.
Not because of trust.
But because the system was already so comfortable with their oppression — it never considered them powerful enough to be a threat.

“They didn’t lock us up.
Because we were already locked out.”

This isn’t just a history lesson.
It’s a reflection on what happens when a people are too discarded to be feared, and too present to be ignored.
It’s about invisibility — not as absence, but as design.
It’s about how comfort with injustice becomes a kind of permission to continue it.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• 🔥 A raw, rhythmic reflection on WWII’s racial contradictions

• 📜 A call to examine how history excludes and erases

• 🔊 The weight of being systemically "included" only in pain, never in power

• 💭 A poetic indictment of silence — and a call to memory

If you came here for soft truths and forgettable lines, this isn’t your space.

But if you're ready to:

• See America through a sharper lens

• Understand the weaponization of neglect

• Sit with uncomfortable parallels between past and present

…then you’re exactly where you need to be.

“We weren’t seen as traitors
Because we were never seen as part.”

🎙️ Episode 0 – Let Me Yell First

By Olga Foreign

Before the applause, the protest, or the poetry—
let me yell first.
Not to speak over you, but to remind you that you still have a voice too.

This isn’t a performance. This is a reclamation.

In Episode 0 of Who Yelling Now?, I crack open the door, lift the curtain, and ask the questions that stay caught in your throat at night.
What happens when you’ve been stolen from so long, you start forgetting what was yours to begin with?
Who do you become when your story is told by everyone but you?
And what if yelling isn’t rage... but release?

🧠 This episode introduces:

• Why this podcast had to exist — and why now

• How I grew into my voice through poetry, grief, memory, and fire

• The difference between being loud and being heard

• Why silence isn’t neutral — it’s taught

• What happens when history whispers and we finally scream back

This isn’t your average podcast.
There’s no background music to soften the blows.
There are no apologies for being too real, too angry, too sad, too Black, too queer, too invisible, too unforgettable.

This is spoken word fused with spirit.
This is memoir met with megaphone.
This is what happens when art stops asking permission.

💥 Who Yelling Now? is born from my books:

• And Then Thoughts — a love letter to loss, survival, and selfhood

• Stolen — an ancestral scream in verse

• A Lonely Walk — grief turned to gospel

• Conversations with Grandpa — truth passed down, not buried

Each week, I’ll bring stories, poems, and perspective wrapped in rhythm and soul — centered around identity, memory, and the things they tried to erase from us.

This isn’t safe content.
This is sacred.
It might crack your shell. It might hold your hand.
It might remind you of what you forgot you knew.

👂🏾 This episode is for you if:

• You’ve ever felt like your pain didn’t have a stage

• You carry stories your body hasn’t even told you yet

• You’re tired of podcasts made to pacify

• You want to yell, cry, laugh, and remember

You may not agree with every word. That’s okay.
But you’ll feel them.
That’s the point.

🚫 This is not for you if:

• You’re still stuck on the myth of neutrality

• You’re sipping from the state’s cup and calling it holy

• You’re over-medicated on fear and underfed on truth

• You think history should be polite

• You need permission to question

• You’re more loyal to your comfort than your conscience

• You’ve never once asked: “What was stolen from me?”

If you’ve never yelled, you might not get it.
If you’re still nursing at the systems that silenced us—this may taste bitter.
But for the rest of us?

We yell now.
And it’s beautiful.

🔥 “Let Me Yell First” is the spark.
The real heat begins in the next episodes.

So if you’re ready to stop pretending you don’t see what’s real—
If you’re done shrinking for comfort—
If you want to make memory louder than mythology—

🎤 You’re in the right place.

Subscribe. Share. Yell back.
New episodes weekly.
More truth than most can handle.
But you? You’ve already survived worse.
