ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
In The Cypher is a culture and politics podcast cutting through media noise, tech hype, and recycled talking points.
Hosted by two former New Yorkers with roots in tech, hip-hop, and urban life, the show breaks down current events, power structures, and cultural shifts with context, skepticism, and humor. No cable-news scripts. No partisan cosplay.
Episodes mix sharp takes with history and lived experience—media consolidation, streaming fatigue, Silicon Valley politics, race, class, and how policy decisions land in real communities. This isn’t left vs. right. It’s systems vs. people.
