Unpicking Dissonance

A podcast by Leeds UK music collective Fold, hosted by founder Seth Mowshowitz, that looks beneath the facade of mainstream narratives, myths and culture to help map the true nature of our world. This is an investigation of truth outside of political alignments, class or any other divisive ways of thinking. All are welcome here. Each of us lives in our own unique reality that is built from our core stories, lived experiences and external stories that we internalise. We all grow up in the same systems of indoctrination, but those for whom the system does not work tend to ask questions and rebel against the system. These are the people who resist indoctrination and experience the most cognitive dissonance in relation to their own society’s prevailing stories and narratives. We aim to have conversations with many different people about their own experiences with this form of cognitive dissonance — how they process, cope and express these experiences over a lifetime. This will gradually enable us to build up both a more coherent and current map of our shared reality.
