evan

i read that "SYNABON" at first. made me kinda hungry,

Colin Andrews

Am I supposed to know what Synanon is?

Brody Knaak

Damn trueanon is doing their own Adam Friedland Show style video upgrade!

features creatures

I wish you guys would do in person video interviews sometimes. Very excited for whatever this is gonna be though.

EaZy E

That’s why you need to watch the show.

CJ

ABSOLUTELY

Satcomdaemon

Thinking again about those sections of the Art Pepper autobiography detailing his time there... gonna be an interesting series.

Rich Ranallo

The dark origin story of Senator Krysten Synanon

Sean

Oooooo

Soda enthusiast

i heard French and I cancelled my subscription

Anneliese

Chills!!! LETS GOOO!!!

Julio

Although the Cult has been disbanded in the US, there's an offshoot version in Germany. Perhaps the enemy territory / secret location which has been referenced over and over?

Wojciech

uhh as a FELLOW ADDICT I'm afraid to watch this :(

John

I’m hyped

Pelican Grief

Is this score a yung chomsky original? Shades of Michael Nyman's work. Extremely my shit.

jer

Tafs is going hardddd

Junior Carmichael

Very curious about the implied Abu Gharib connection

Justlistening

Some podcast studio released a series on this too. Haven’t heard it, trueanon will do better anyway

Will Joyce Jr

I went to one of these awful hellholes in boulder creek Idaho (boulder creek academy) . The program archipelagos in general are total madness and legalized tax payer funded child abuse.

joseph

Truanon, more like Whoanon the fuck is that 🥴🤪

Lizard

Fuuuck yeah dog, also soundtrack popping

Kristen

Is that baudrillard at the beginning?

Noah

This is probably like the keep the dream alive trailer they did. That was video but the series was audio. Doubt it’s going to be video, just audio episodes. Can YC BB LG confirm?

Bryson Martinez

God damit I just lost the fucking game. Thanks trueanon. I was on a good streak. FML

demisays

i grew up in marin and this reminded me that synanon built walker creek ranch which is where i did “outdoor education” when i was in elementary school…CRAZY…anyway excited for the series

TrueAnonPod

BCA was on the former site of Rocky Mountain Academy right? You will have a personal connection to this series :)

Will Joyce Jr

Oh yeah, was both there and Provo canyon school for a year and a half. This is a trip of a crossover

Will Joyce Jr

And yeah right by there out in the middle of no where

E-Den

Ah shit, this might get real fucking sad. Excited for the series.

TrueAnonPod

We are a 100% anti-Bonner County Podcast

Emma

fuck yes I was just listening to a fairly disappointing series on Synanon from another pod and am SO READY for it to get the full TA treatment

Dr. TJ Eckelberg

Really excited for this. Because, 1. It’s just right up the TA alley 2. Doubly so ^ because it’s a Cali story 3. I’m in early recovery myself This is the good shit. Thank you!!!

Billie Grey Heck

Anybody else shit theyself in a train when they got this news

Gerk hijlkema

I'm excited! Amazing bit of music as always, kind of reminds me of the lux aeterna bit of score from requiem for a dream

Kristen

Same thing

Nite Life Jesse

Didn’t Art Pepper call his memoir “Straight Life” dude was sober for like 8mins of his adult life

Satcomdaemon

really leaned into the whole "irony bro" thing... it's a fascinating memoir. I recommend it to anyone. Don't have to care about jazz at all. Absolute villain, admitted to rape in the book along with a myriad of other things, but it's really engrossing.

DH

Yeeeesssss

B Smith

My dad joined an small evangelical cult in Texas that’s trying to start their own version of these with a wilderness rehab Jesus camp, more oriented towards adults obviously. The family is insane, FBI informants on Maoist groups in the Bay in the 70s, taking women from isolated indigenous communities on their mission trips in the 80s. He brought me there to “help him move” and they just kept trying to do gay conversion therapy on me for weeks on end.

Matthew Wood

Ooh ‘becoming-Ludic’ lol

otis

Fuck. We all just lost the game

Josh

LFG

Chris

If I say please, can we have it now?

Colin S

Thank god someone updated the Wikipedia article for Synanon with news of this coverage

Zachary Keebaugh

THE 21RST CENTURY IS DELEUZEAN... WELCOME TO HELL

Steev Hise

I hope The Gormand and Coindexter make appearances at some point in this.

csalyer .

This gives me a Baudrihardon

K

Abu Ghraib picture 🤦‍♀️ Y’all are too much lmao. Looking forward to this!

Mark Owen

Some of the sections were originally slated for Penthouse Forum or something similar.

Bobby Volcano

New posting style guide just dropped

Jon W

I don't understand. But I guess that's why I pay for premium.

Joe White

These and every Blowback trailer never fail to get me incredibly hyped

Rene Saller

Resubscribed for that Chomsky score!

Mika Kelley

Goosebumps!! So fucking psyched for this!!

Mika Kelley

That series is pretty good but you’re right the trio will do it way better

Jawn Feddermang

As long as BB comes back in full Rockabilly mode this will have been worth it. Also “the game” sounds like an irl version of a comment section on your local news site

Shiv

EXTREMELY here for this!!!! 👁

Shiv

ask him why he’s so talented!?!??

daniel

As Patreon subscribers, do we get to go on zoom and tell brace why we fucking hate him one at a time?

Mugiwara

the prophecy fulfilled revenge!

Joedie Sawyer

So… this will be a video? Not a podcast? A full on documentary in 5 parts? This is going to be AWESOME!!!

Trevor McDonald

I went to mt bachelor academy which was a Synanon off shoot inspired by cedu I am interested in this for sure

Carter Mitchell

tiddies on hard

surrander 2000

Sorry, Joedie....(Joedie Sawyer) "So…....... . this will be a video? Not a podcast?" 1st fwd. I sent out said, " This trailer is a great example of why it's a very good thing Trueanon is N O T a videocast. People would starve to death binge/ing stuff this gripping. 😎 aw

verticalray

oh god. as soon as you see Poppy's face in a trailer you know the real grim reaper is around the corner.

verticalray

that's what Adam Curtis is for.

Andrew Owens

YC with the perfect audio as usual

ktcat

is this series why brace went to key west or is that a separate project?

Jon

okay maybe this is the better take than my initial reaction

Billy Billy

Is this series narrated by Adam Curtis though

BruceInAdelaide

i have to say,,, a narration by an Adam Curtis impersonator would be fun!

j

Oh yea looking forward to the Lucas connection

Playdoh

Very "1990s MIDI video game soundtrack" piece in this, love it

surrander 2000

M.J. 👍👍👍👍: What's a Podcast Pulitzer? aw

Louis

I’m in. You are working with a sick editor and legit sound designer.

Tom Clarke

Doing my research right now (reading the wikipedia page)

Emma

Yeah I've just been listening to this and it's fine but the whole time I was wishing it was TA. So excited about this!

Alias Dan Davis

One of the hosts of The Pod "Sounds Like A Cult" was in Synanon as a child. She has a book out about the lingo of cults called "Cultish". I'm guessing at least one of you three have either read it or listened to the pod. If you haven't, they're great. The pod is light hearted - the book, not exactly.

carl

lol brace looking good at 13

Dr. Ron Jambo

Nice! I'm already reconciled to the recent slack in episode output. I just learned there's still a German branch of Synanon which is BEYOND CRITICISM. Heavily supported by politicians and business... the Wikipedia page guarded 24-7 by Synanon spokespeople.

I am become reply guy

I’ve never heard of Synanon, this is going to be incredible. You guys put all journalists and documentarians to shame.

Zzz

Bring Finkelstein back on the pod — he has his new book coming out in November

Samwell Ganges

I'm mean, I'm pretty sure it's the Chomp

Samwell Ganges

I'm pretty sure Chomsky made this track. David Lynch needs to hire this man.

danny

so is synanon like the golden fang in inherent vice?

hole

got hungry.... thought this was for Cinibon. !

BW

Yeah, Art Pepper too. Pass's first record was called "Sounds of Synanon" and the band was made up entirely of people in the program (he's the only famous musician on it)

sgl

9/26?! Chag Sameach to me!

jer

Just by how it is
