My name is Alfred Samson and I am the host of the Unmodern Podcast.
For my entire life I have been a counter culture guy. Someone who didn't conform to the mainstream of really anything and felt comfort living in the fringe.
This Podcast is a reflection of myself. With uncomfortable and open conversations by all. On this podcast we talk all things counter culture, holistic, traditional and other against the mainstream narratives. If you are looking for a very authentic and raw podcast, you are in the right place!
Thank you for listening!
