We touch upon the influence of the contactees, Bill Cooper, and many of the other eccentric players in UFO history. I had the best time shootin...
1Hey hey hey! This week, my guest is Jeff Knox. Jeff is a wealth of knowledge on UFO history (my favorite kind of history) and has blown me away with his daily Today in UFO History drops on social media. Jeff also has a wildly level headed approach to how he sees the UFO enigma. Skeptical, open-minded, and focused on what we can study: The history. I feel that what he does is one of the most important contributions to the history of UFOs. Go Jeff go! Enjoy, friends. Love, Steve For...

Hey there, friends! This week my guests are Derek Hayes (Monster Among Us Podcast) and David Flora (Blurry Photos Podcast)!

Eli has made a bunch of content for the Small Town Monsters outfit, and there was one that had caught my attention recently called Mountain of God UFO Cult. It's a fascinating story, and one that I had never heard of before, so double bonus! We get into how he discovered this cult from the 1950's, and we also delve deep i...

If you haven't already, PLEASE check out Greg's incredible podcast Radio Misterioso. It's literally my favorite podcast covering these For...
Hey friends! This week my guest is the brilliant Kevin Cann! I first learned about Kevin from Jeffrey Kripal's book, How To Think Impossibly. I then bumped into Kevin's incredible Facebook group, Platonic Surrealism, which immediately wow'd me. Kevin is a next level thinker when it comes to the topics we discuss right here on this show, and I think he's one of the few people I know of who's really trying (and succeeding) in taking UFOs and the nature of reality further down the proverbial fie...

I'm a massive fan of every book he's written, and he has really outdone himself with his newest offering, Fourth Wall Phantoms. Josh and I have a deep discussion about his latest book, without spoiling anything (I promise!). We get into the concept of fictional incursions, the non-physicality of the UFO phenomenon, and why we might just need better stories. I LOVE LOVE LOVE th...

Hey Friends - This week, my guest is comedian/actor, Morgan Nalley! Morgan is a hilarious, and awesome human being. She's had an interest in the strange and unusual since she was a kid, and that interest doesn't seem to have wanned one iota (did I just type the word iota? I did!) We get into her childhood interest, comedy, her recent trip to Rome, and some compelling paranormal experiences she's had in her adult years. Morgan is such a gem - I hope you all enjoy! Love, Steve For more Morgan N...
