A new investigative podcast unearthing the internet's favorite lost song

(Syracuse, NY - June 5, 2024) – Everyone Knows That: The Search for Ulterior Motives is a new podcast by creator Josh Chapdelaine (CEO of Lost Media, Associate Director of the Media Studies MA at CUNY Queens College) that investigates the internet’s favorite lost song: “Ulterior Motives,” known widely online as “Everyone Knows That.”

For years, internet sleuths tried to figure out where the song came from and to find it in full. Earlier this year, it was discovered . . . in some porn from the ‘80s.

How did the song get found – and how did it get made? In research and interviews, across 5 episodes dropping weekly, Chapdelaine unravels this strange and delightful tale. Each episode is fully sound designed and edited, making for a listen that’s as engaging as it is wild: a lot of both.

The show features interviews with: Kyle Gordon (comedian, musician), Violet Sky (musician, media archivist), Grafton Tanner (author, educator), Jordan Rumsey (creator), Julian Gray (musician and designer), Reed Berkowitz (award-winning games designer), Adam Bumas (journalist), Christopher Saint Booth, Philip Adrian Booth, and more.
