The Glitterpill Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Glitterpill Podcast

Welcome to the Glitterpill Podcast, where we explore extremism, disinformation, and resilience with honesty, clarity, and heart. Each episode brings insights from researchers, practitioners, and cultural voices on how we navigate this moment in history without losing ourselves.

In This Episode
Stefano cuts through the noise to reveal the hard truths about cartels beyond the culture war headlines and academic siloes. Expect gripping field stories, sharp analysis, and practical tools for building resilience in the face of organized crime. We also open up about our own struggles with academia, what they miss in the race to stay "relevant," what "The War on Drugs" framing misses in this present moment, and the blind spots that still need shoring up.

Why It Matters
Glitterpill is about seeing beyond the noise, arming yourself with information, rejecting both the red pill and blue pill and finding creative ways to thrive in dangerous times.

with Elsa Korinke, Somatic Practitioner

If you've spent one too many hours in "industry convenings" that feel more like a Broadway revival than a strategy session, this one's for you. 

I sit down with Elsa Korinke, a somatic practitioner, to talk about what real healing looks like when the CVE world can't stop throwing its endless Parade of Hope. From the body's quiet wisdom to the field's obsession with pageantry, we trace the slapstick dance between sincerity and spectacle.

And yes, we even ask: what can a cartoon purple rhino teach extremism researchers about surviving burnout, reclaiming joy, and remembering why any of this work matters in the first place?

Absurd? Of course. Necessary? More than ever.

Catch Elsa's new offerings here.
