UFO Culture's Dark Side: Misinformation & Manipulation in Dark Alliance with Jay Weidner | RC 74

In this deep-dive episode of Rebelliously Curious, we're taking a critical look at the rise of misinformation, manipulation, and cult-like followings in UFO culture, with a special focus on filmmaker Darcy Weir's latest documentary, Dark Alliance: The Inside Story of the Cosmic Con. Darcy examines the controversial and divisive figures David Wilcock and Corey Goode, both widely known in the UFO counterculture for their claims of secret space programs, alien alliances, and insider knowledge. The documentary unpacks how these two have cultivated a significant following, often blurring the lines between genuine whistleblowing and profitable storytelling. Jay Weidner, former head of programming for Gaia TV, also joins us to share his experiences working with Corey Goode and David Wilcock—both in Darcy's film and here on the podcast.

Join us as we get really curious.
