Factual America

Factual America is a bold podcast and YouTube channel that digs beneath the surface of American life to uncover the strange, the hidden, and the downright unbelievable. Playing on the term for non-fiction television, the show delivers wild true stories and fresh perspectives that challenge the mainstream narrative about the United States.

From secret government programs and Cold War coverups to forgotten legends, bizarre subcultures, and unexplained events, Factual America explores the facts your history teacher was afraid to tell you. Each episode features interviews with filmmakers, researchers, witnesses, and cultural commentators who bring these untold stories to light.

With a mix of investigative curiosity and a flair for the outrageous, the show invites audiences to rethink what they know about America—its myths, its contradictions, and its untamed reality. If it’s real, American, and too weird for network TV, Factual America is on the case.

This isn’t your textbook America. It’s the one you were never supposed to see.
