**Undercurrents**

Undercurrents is the brand new news show brought to you by UnHerd. Every episode we uncover the stories and ideas taking place beneath the surface — either not well covered by the establishment media, or covered without the analysis and details you need to better understand the world. We bring no agenda other than seeking truth and representing reality.

We’ll be publishing twice a week, on the Undercurrents YouTube channel — with additional episodes and content for our subscribers.
