  • Brian and Virginia Giordano: UFLOJOY!
    Jan 9 2025

    Happy New Year, friends! To kick things off for the year, I welcome my guests, Brian and Virginia Giordano, to discuss their phenomenally beautiful, hilarious, and educational zine, UFOLOJOY! I can't even begin to tell you how amazing this zine is - it's everything I could ever want a zine about UFOs and Fortean topics to be. This is a must-have! The three of us enjoyed a rollicking conversation about their zine, personal experiences, art, and other glorious Fortean topics. This is a fun one, folks. Enjoy!!
    Love, Steve

  • John Carlson: The Case of the Southern Oregon Portals
    Dec 19 2024

    Oooooohh buddies, I have a fascinating episode for you! John Carlson is my guest this week, and it is a doozy. I don't want to say too much in this description, I'll just say this: If you dig portals and otherworldly creatures coming out of said portals, then this episode is for you! Below, I've linked John's six-part (so good!) blog on the events, and I've also attached the original Binnall of America episode (with Tim's permission, of course) with Adam Davies and John. I think you're really going to enjoy this! Peace.
    Love, Steve

  • Amanda Paulson: The Real Deal
    Dec 12 2024

    Yoooooooo friends! This week, I have on the brilliant, Amanda Paulson! Amanda is a paranormal investigator/content creator who is 10000% the real deal. Amanda is out there experimenting, investigating, researching, and poking the paranormal bear. She's likely the most courageous person I've ever talked to in these Fortean fields. I mean it. So...we obviously get into her experimentations, investigations, and all that good stuff, but we also cover her wildly unique theory entitled the Paranormal Emotive Touchpoint (PET). I found this to be a wonderfully refreshing take on approaching high strangeness, and she was kind enough to share with me her point of view on how to commune with the other. I loved it! Please, do yourself a favor, read up on her theory, and watch her Tiktok for some great videos on her work. I became an instant fan. We also delve into her upcoming documentary - I was lucky enough to peep a screener, and it is fantastic! Enjoy, friends.
    Love, Steve

  • Courtney Block: Your Friendly Liminal Librarian
    Dec 5 2024

    Well, howdy there, friends! I'm psyched to share this episode with the great guest, Courtney Block! Courtney is a wildly interesting mind, and has some really interesting perspectives on the paranormal, and the strange and unusual. We chat about haunted libraries, paranormal motifs, and Courtney's journey to where she is now. Since I'm a lover of research, it was amazing to get advice from a true professional. Ah, Courtney is great! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. Enjoy!
    Love, Steve

  • Matthew Tannam-Elgie: Mothman: The Film That Never Was
    Nov 21 2024

    Hi buds -on this week's episode, I have on documentary filmmaker, Matthew Tannam-Elgie! Matthew popped up on my radar when I heard about his upcoming documentary, MOTHMAN: THE FILM THAT NEVER WAS, about Hollywood film production's attempt to make a feature film (not the Richard Gere version!) out of the Fortean classic, The Mothman Prophecies. The crew shot on-location, in Point Pleasant, WV in the 1990's, and what happened next is bonkers! Without spoiling too much of the upcoming film, Matthew gives us a rundown of what happened, and what we can expect in this exciting new documentary. We also chat about modern para-politics, and other related topics. I'm so excited to see this film! Enjoy!
    Love, Steve
