Filthy Armenian Adventures
Based in Los Angeles, California, FILTHY ARMENIAN ADVENTURES is a travel agency for the soul that takes you all over the map of our cultural apocalypse and deep into its most forbidden and forgotten territories. Where no topic is taboo. Where no personality is too extreme. Where the past is never past, the present’s always present, and the Santa Ana Winds are always blowing. Where the most enchanting public or private figures in our landscape are dared to abandon their masks and join a Filthy Armenian in his quest for truth, gold, and John Galt’s motor. Subscribe on patreon.com/filthyarmenian for access to twice as many episodes, including the most intimate and scandalous ones. Each episode is both a stand-alone ear movie adventure and part of an ongoing, twisted narrative that can only be experienced in full on Patreon. Created and hosted by Alec Mouhibian.
