Afraid of Nothing Podcast

It's been nearly 30 years since The Blair Witch Project (1999) terrorized film audiences with the inaugural "found footage" film. 

The film's logline: Three film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind.

The Blair Witch Project was heavily marketed as a true story, employing a unique viral marketing campaign to b...

Bucket list for tonight's show -- our guest is Jay Weidner, a filmmaker, author and scholar known for (among many things) his 3-part docuseries "Kubrick's Odyssey" as well as his appearance in Rodney Ascher's "Room 237".

In this rebel podcast town!

How do you like your paranormal content served up? Tonight we present some juicy psychic stories "medium rare" -- that's right, it's a rare treat that we get two of the country's top mediums, but that's what's on the menu for this show. From deceased pets communicating through computers and the voices of loved ones calling for forgiveness from the Afterlife - plus tips on what makes a good medium,...

What happens when we die? Will you still be you? Who will greet you to the Afterlife? Will your pets be there? Will you meet Jesus? And what will you wear?

And Amy opens my records during the show to give our listeners a taste while helping me to tap into my true potential. We also discuss the year ...

2024 was an epic, upside down year -- solar eclipses, biblical prophecies, assassination attempts, an unlikely presidential comeback, drones, orbs, mysterious fog, DOGE, geopolitical unrest and global uncertainty. So much more is in the cards and about to unfold. Never has a New Year like 2025 been met with such bated breath and trepidation.

Whew!

With the first episode of season 5, we look back with a mashup of o...

Remember that crazy guy with the "End Times" warning blasted from a bullhorn on college campuses? I do. At Indiana University we called him Mad Max. Well, after all this time -- geez, maybe the guy was legit.

It's a crazy world out there and no matter what side of the fence you sit on -- liberal/conservative, religious/spiritual, believer/skeptic ... you can't deny we are undergoing either pure chaos or...
