Episode 11_(LORE) The Hiatus
In 2017, Twenty One Pilots essentially disappeared.
Following the release of Blurryface and the conclusion of the 2 year touring cycle, the band entered a hiatus that left fans with more questions than answers. Then came the discovery of a mysterious website: dmaorg.info
In this episode, we go back to the beginning of the hiatus and explore how dmaorg.info was discovered, what the site revealed and the original files that helped introduce fans to an entirely new layer of the Twenty One Pilots story. From cryptic images and strange documents to the early pieces of the Dema storyline, these discoveries would become an important part of understanding the world behind the band's music.
We're going back to 2017 — before the theories, before the explanations and before we knew where the story was heading — to revisit the mystery as it originally unfolded.

Episode 10_Cancer (Cover)
Originally written and performed by My Chemical Romance, Cancer is already a deeply emotional song—but Twenty One Pilots’ cover brings a different kind of vulnerability to it's lyrics. In this episode, I focus on what makes their rendition so distinctive, from Tyler Joseph’s intimate vocal delivery to the stripped-back arrangement and changes in tone and feeling.
How does Twenty One Pilots’ version compare to the original? How did they say something completely different while singing the same original lyrics? I'll take a closer look at their interpretation of Cancer and the emotional details that make this cover uniquely Twenty One Pilots and in my opinion...BETTER than the original!
