Journey to the Fringe

s time travel real, or just another fringe fantasy? This week, we dive into Project Looking Glass — the alleged government device that lets you peer into alternate timelines. From Cold War paranoia to modern whistleblowers, we explore the tech, the lore, and the tangled mess of temporal conspiracy. Bigfoot and an orca may or may not be involved.Project Looking Glass: a name whispered in conspiracy circles, tangled in tales of time travel, alternate realities, and government secrets. In this episode, we unravel the mythos surrounding this alleged device — said to allow glimpses into future timelines and even influence outcomes. We trace its roots through Cold War experimentation, dive into the claims of whistleblowers like Bill Wood, and explore the strange convergence of UFO lore, military tech, and metaphysical speculation. Along the way, we ask: what happens when you stare into the Looking Glass… and it stares back? Expect laughs, lore, and a few unexpected guests (including Bigfoot and a visitor-badged orca) as we journey through one of the Fringe’s most mind-bending rabbit holes.Websites:Eagles Disobey - HomeThe Burisch Archive - Ultimate repository of a variety of content supporting the claims of Dr Dan Burisch - The Dan Burisch Archiveyoutube:Richard Doty interview with Brian Jackson - Dan Crain/Burisch Interview.

Better listen even though I'm sure you may have figured it out, you're here for the banter anyways.news Article: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/truck-monkeys-mississippi-tulane-missing-b2854099.html

After 5 seasons of fringey weirdos, cult catastrophes, UFO grifters, spiritualist scammers, and one royal who insists he “can’t sweat,” we've finally made it, it's Journey to the Fringe's top 10 assholes. The whos who os assholes some may say. Do you say it?Using a five‑category “Asshole Score” (Deception, Vibes, Harm, Grift, Legacy), Taylor and Chelsie dive deep into the worst offenders they’ve ever covered — from Billy Meier’s model‑kit UFOs to the Good News International Church’s mass‑death tragedy, from the Fox Sisters’ double‑grift séance empire to the Warrens’ Hollywood‑fueled paranormal profiteering. The list escalates into full‑blown UFO disinformation warfare with Richard Doty, before crowning the ultimate king of cosmic grift: Dr. Steven Greer, the man who turned “contacting aliens” into a luxury retreat business.Along the way, we debate scoring philosophy, roast each other’s rankings, compare their lists to Copilot’s cult‑heavy Top 10, look at the friends we made along the way and revisit some of the podcast’s most unhinged episodes. It’s chaotic, and cathartic—So who’s your #1 asshole? Who did we miss? And how did this episode get so long? ⭐ Taylor’s Official Top 10 (the list used throughout the episode)1. Dr. Steven Greer2.

The Indus Valley civilization didn’t go out with a bang — it slow‑motion crumbled under a series of mega‑droughts that each lasted longer than your average dynasty. New research suggests four back‑to‑back climate smackdowns dried up rainfall, nudged entire cities toward the Indus River, and eventually pushed one of humanity’s earliest urban cultures into a centuries‑long fade‑out. Think ancient Egypt’s contemporary, but with better plumbing and worse luck. It’s a reminder that when the weather decides to switch up the script, even the most sophisticated societies have to improvise — and unlike us, they didn’t even have microplastics to blame.

In this week’s episode of Journey to the Fringe, we dive into the chaotic mid‑tier of our ongoing Asshole Rankings, revisiting some of the most notorious names in UFO lore, occult history, and paranormal pop culture. From Aleister Crowley’s occult chaos and Jamie Spears’ Hollywood‑grade exploitation to Admiral Byrd’s accidental Hollow Earth legacy (plus the grifty relatives who won’t let it die), we break down who truly earned their spot. We roast Gulf Breeze hoaxer Ed Walters, fringe giant‑hunter L.A. Marzulli, and Coast to Coast AM’s own George Noory, the king of high‑grift, low‑impact paranormal radio. Richard Hoagland resurfaces with his Face‑on‑Mars pseudoscience empire, while Stan Romanek rockets up the list with fake aliens, puppet‑level special effects, and the criminal charges that cement his infamy. If you love UFO hoaxes, conspiracy culture, paranormal media, and fringe history, this episode is your perfect mix of sass, skepticism, and cosmic clownery as we head toward the top 20.Disclaimer: These rankings reflect our personal opinions.Season 2 episode 50: The Big O - Orgone Energy |Season 3 episode 49 : Bill Moore: Every peak has a cringeworthy descent (part 4 of 4) |Season 3 episode 47: Bill Moore: Majestic 12 (part 3 of 4) |Season 3 episode 45: Bill Moore: The Bennewitz Story (part 2 of 4) |Season 3 episode 43: Bill Moore: forgettable name, recurring character (part 1 of 4) |Season 4 episode 42: What's in a plane: the John Lear story (Part 1 of 2) |Season 4 episode 43: What's in a plane: the John Lear story (Part 2 of 2) |Season 4 episode 2: A history of violent strikes - Pinkertons |Season 1 episode 16: The Blavatsky Paradox |Season 5 episode 28: John Hutchison - of "the Hutchison Effect" Fame |Season 4 episode 16: The other Queen of Canada |Season 2 episode 46: Whatcha Montaukin 'bout |Season 5 episode 72: The Dyer consequences of a body of evidence |

In this mini, we unpack China’s latest humanoid robot demo — a machine built to take kicks, punches, and full-on workplace abuse like it’s training for the Robot Olympics. As Chelsie and Taylor spiral into questions about robot rage, Boston Dynamics trauma, and why humans immediately bully anything with a motherboard, one thing becomes clear: the future is here, it’s getting shoved around, and it might be keeping score.Source: https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/china-humanoid-robot-anti-gravity-modeBackground music: https://youtu.be/y9A_xRyMAjs?si=tpS2t-fNVSPD-_F_

In this episode, we unpack a chilling investigation out of Milan alleging that wealthy Westerners paid to enter the Bosnian War as “sniper tourists,” shooting civilians for sport during the siege of Sarajevo. It’s one of the bleakest, most morally gut‑punching stories we’ve ever covered — the kind that forces you to confront the outer limits of human cruelty and the uncomfortable possibility that similar horrors may still be happening in modern conflicts. It’s dark, it’s haunting, and it’s exactly the kind of fringe truth that demands to be dragged into the light.Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/11/milan-prosecutors-investigate-alleged-sniper-tourism-during-bosnian-warBackground music in all of it's glory: https://youtu.be/C7H4pDHsya8?si=df8AMD-D4JW3kidu

so Chelsie saved the day with her random feeling like a Chrstmas mini category and we learn about a holiday tradition in France, enjoy!

Jingle Bells isn’t all holiday cheer. From swamp-dwelling cryptids that lure with chimes, to phantom bells tolling from sunken kingdoms, to the ominous Belled Buzzard and a chilling modern encounter in the woods—this episode explores how bells ring not just with joy, but with warning, deception, and dread.It’s Christmas Eve, and while sleigh bells jingle in frosted streets, Journey to the Fringe invites you to listen closer. Because not every bell signals joy. Some toll from beneath the sea, echoing the downfall of lost kingdoms like Ys and Cantre’r Gwaelod. Some ring from phantom towers, warning of tragedy yet to come. Others chime from the shadows of the forest, held by hands that should not exist.In “Jingle Bells,” Taylor and Chelsie guide you through folklore’s darker soundscapes:👹 The Bell Bottoms, grotesque swamp cryptids that mimic voices and lure victims to watery graves.🧚 The spectral fairy bells of the British Isles, both invitations to enchantment and wards against the fae.🪶 The ominous Belled Buzzard, a feathered harbinger of death whose tolling bell haunted Southern newspapers in the 19th century.🔔 The phantom church bells of Ys, Lyonesse, and Cantre’r Gwaelod, ringing eternally as laments of divine judgment.🌲 And finally, a chilling modern tale of a bell-wielding figure in the woods, where folklore meets true horror.This holiday season, pour yourself some cocoa and hang your stockings with care—but keep one ear open. Because when bells ring in the world of fringe folklore, they may not be jingling for joy.

So Chelsie found an article, but it was in dutch and she translated... and now I don't know how to find it. Anyhow it's about wolves and saving aspens but also maybe more??? anyhow listen and learn, that's why we do it after all!article at least on the same topic: Did wolves save Yellowstone's aspen trees?

This week, we find some good news in a surprising place: the fashion industry! We discuss the groundbreaking cultivated leather created by a North Carolina startup, featuring their star, a very much alive sanctuary cow named Angel. Biomedical engineer George Engelmeier grows real collagen from Angel's harmlessly-sampled skin cells on plant-based scaffolds, creating luxury leather goods like wallets and jewelry without the need for slaughter, toxic tanning chemicals, or heavy environmental impact. The discussion centers on whether this new, cruelty-free material—which dramatically reduces water use and emissions—can be considered truly "vegan," or if it simply represents the best path forward for the multi-billion dollar leather market.As always like, share, follow and power to the people Source: https://www.wral.com/business/technology/lab-cultivated-leather-cow-october-2025/

You’ve heard of Mothman, but what if your winged cryptid crush has… stone skin, a French etymology, and a penchant for rooftop brooding? In this episode, we crack open the cathedral and peer into the eerie, misunderstood world of gargoyles.

So here's the deal: I stumbled across this Reuters article about a Chinese freighter that basically said, “Forget the Suez, we're taking the Arctic shortcut.” And boom — delivery times to Europe got sliced ​​in half. Sounds cool, right? Except it's literally too cool, because the only reason this route is even open is global warming melting the ice. Yikes.In this mini we're talkingProfit over literally anything — because if there's money to be made, who cares if narwhals get evicted, amiright fellow billionaires?Russia's new ocean real estate — spoiler: every ship has to cruise through their backyard now.The “blue ocean event” — which sounds like a fun festival but is actually terrifying climate science.Cruise ships in the Arctic — because nothing says vacation like gray water and polar bears.Me trying to pronounce Felixstowe — turns out the Chinese port was easier. Go figure.It's part shipping news, part climate doom, part comedy of errors.
