Unicorn Riot’s Deprogram was a live show produced by Andrew Neef and hosted by Lorenzo Serna and Niko Georgiades. The show examined the roots of the struggles that preside throughout different communities across the world. Deprogram featured interviews, music videos, up-to-date news, and international reports.

The show ranged in time from about 30 minutes to nearly two hours and ran weekly from the Summer of 2015 to the Fall. There were 31 episodes. Due to a defunct video platform, we don’t have access to episodes 1, 5, 10, 11, 14, 18-20, 23, 24, and 29. Episode 30 and 31, seen first in the list below, were filmed in 2017 before we cancelled the show. Show descriptions are from the publication on Unicorn Riot.
