Cultured Unplugged

Cultured Unplugged is a truth-driven podcast hosted by Uncle Chris, dedicated to exposing the stories campuses and institutions would rather keep silent. Through investigative breakdowns, survivor-centered conversations, and real-time legal updates, Cultured Unplugged confronts hazing culture, institutional cover-ups, and the human cost of silence. Each episode centers facts, accountability, and the voices of families and survivors impacted by hazing and abuse. This is not gossip. This is not speculation. This is where hard conversations happen — with care, clarity, and purpose. If you believe hazing should never cost another life, you’re in the right place.
