For the first episode of
The Thin Veil, Ezra welcomes filmmaker
Skyler Carrico—whose chance online critique became a turning point in Ezra’s journey toward a deeper understanding of Palestine and the systems shaping our world.
Together, they trace their parallel paths of political awakening, including a shared reckoning with the influence of figures like Sam Harris, and what it feels like to confront the possibility that you’ve been deeply misinformed.
Skyler shares his experience traveling to the West Bank in 2024, where he encountered both the realities of life under occupation and the resilience, warmth, and humanity of the people he met.
The conversation moves through media, ideology, and empire—while asking harder questions about responsibility, perception, and what it means to keep showing up once the narrative begins to unravel.

What is The Thin Veil with Ezra Lipp?
The Thin Veil explores what happens when inherited narratives about history, identity, power, and belonging begin to break down—and what it means to move toward greater moral clarity and alignment in their wake.
Centered around Palestine and anti-Zionism, and rooted in musician/activist Ezra Lipp’s own process of political unlearning later in life, the show features conversations with artists, organizers, and others navigating questions of imperialism, colonization, liberation, and the systems shaping our world.
