What happens when the veil gets thin?

Shifting Awake is an immersive podcast that dives into the dreamlike space between awakening and unraveling. Each episode explores the subtext / hidden messages in a song by underground artist William Is, through playful, provocative, and deeply thoughtful conversations between a rotating cast of Gen Z music critics, mystical thinkers, and conspiracy-loving wild cards.

Expect lyrical dissections, suppressed symbolism, mythic echoes, spiritual friction, sensual undertones, and questions with no clean answers. It’s sexy, it’s sacred, it’s strange—and it might just shift something inside you.

Whether you’re into rock music, soul journeys, or metaphor as medicine, you’re already part of the story.
