Episodes
We've been doing this podcast for six years, and meeting up weekly for 12. When Maverick, John McCain left the stage, he showed up a number of times. He asked us to send a private message to his daughter, which I protested I had no way of doing that, and he said "You'll figure it out."
I did - but have no way of knowing the reaction. When I was writing my first feature "Three For the Road" I met with John's chief of sta...
I ran across the debut episode of our podcast from March 20, 2020. All the guests we had spoken to before - so it wasn't new for us to have them show up in our "classroom in the afterlife" that is moderated by Luana Anders.
For fans of "Hacking the Afterlife" "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" Jennifer Shaffer, medium-intuitive (JenniferShaffer.com) and I demonstrate the kind of conversations we've had with folks on the flipsi...
Another mind bending podcast.
Amelia Earhart is in the news - and came through to talk about what the expedition means to her. She then was followed by the screenwriter, my old boss Robert Towne who wanted to weigh in on Tom Cruise's performance in the film "DIGGER."
Robert worked with Tom often, and he gave it a rave. And then - both Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel stopped by - whom we interviewed before in BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPS...
This is a rerun of a podcast from two years ago - it didn't have subtitles but I've included them now.
This was an unusual podcast just based on the folks who showed up to chat with us.
Jennifer and I had taken a trip to the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Blvd, and we had a group of folks who stopped by to say hello. At some point John Belushi talked about "ghost watching" - not to show up in the hotel to watch people onstage, but to wa...
THIS IS A PODCAST WE DID ON THIS DATE TWO YEARS AGO IN 2024. Before the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST came out... but the story remains the same. This version has subtitles for the hard of reading, but the sound is the same for the hard of hearing! xo
Another fun podcast with Jennifer Shaffer and folks on the flipside. In this episode, we start by discussing the full moon and what that means to people on the planet acc...
Today's episode begins with a discussion about talking to people on the flipside - Jennifer describes the over 200 people that she read recently, and gives an account of one of the stories where someone came through and flipped out their family when the grandmother said "I'm so glad you didn't get that tattoo!"
We spoke of a conversation we had with Robert Thurman over the past few weeks, and how I had condensed those conversation...
Another mind bending podcast... Elvis introduced Jennifer to his friend Dolly Parton.
I had an inkling she would show up this week - as the day she passed I heard her voice say "I'd love to be on your show Richard" or something to that effect.
I know I was thinking about something else at the time, so was suprised to hear it. And for the next couple of days it felt like we were having a conversation - me hearing Dollyisms (as a jad...
This is a rerun from last year - however, there are a number of things brought up that are relevant to today. Amelia Earhart makes an appearance to talk about what she wishes was going on in the US... and talks about finishing the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: The Amelia Earhart Saga (which is available in Kindle, Paperback, Hardover and Audible)
Prince stops by the talk about his experience on the flipside, about what it's like t...
Talking about Dreams and communication with teachers on the flipside.
In today's episode, Jennifer's father Jim comes through - to remind her that he was in her dream the evening before, and reminded her when she went for a walk on the beach that he'd be showing up in our podcast today.
Jim, a Mormon bishop, has come by our classroom many times to elucidate something about the flipside. In this case, he wanted to talk to Jennifer a...
Another mind bending podcast.
Jennifer said Robert Towne, Luana's pal had stopped by to admire the "puppy paw" necklace she had on (that she forgot she was wearing.)
Then Robert Thurman came through. He came to talk about a celebration ("birthday party") someone was having with his wife Nena. I said I had just received a link to a celebration in his honor. "A Bob Thurman Celebration" at the WoodstockAwakening.org website.
It ...
In this podcast, Jennifer asked for Carl Jung to stop by.
I knew that we had interviewed him before, so I tried to not ask him the same questions, but she had a couple of things she wanted to clarify about his journey.
In the later part of the podcast, I trimmed just the part where we spoke to Carl Jung in 2020, six years ago. That podcast is on the webpage, unedited, but in this version one can hear the same answers to the s...
Another mind bending podcast.
Just prior to going on the air, I happened upon a quote from John McCain's daughter that I thought was silly, hostile - misplaced anger.
But as sometimes happens in my world, my reaction included feeling as if John McCain wanted to respond to my reaction - and I actually said "I don't want to talk about this."
Which is pretty funny. (And perhaps happens more than we know with folks stopping by?)&...
Welcome to Hacking the Afterlife podcast.
Here's where to find the new book in Audible:
https://www.amazon.com/AI-Flipside-Artificial-Intelligence-Pictures/dp/B0H8FF9SN7/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0
Jennifer's back from her vacation, and we jumped into a conversation about consciousness and AI (the book AI AND THE AFTERLIFE: Artificial Intelligence Pictures Itself in a Boat on a River) - Jennifer's dad, a Mormon bishop in life, stopp...
While Jennifer is on a much needed vacay, I'm posting one of our earliest conversations.
This was one of the earlier times when we met in her office - it was posted early on - perhaps as our second podcast. (but before subtitles existed).
As noted, Steve Jobs was someone that a friend of mine worked for and during her hypnotherapy session, he showed up to weigh in. (I didn't see him, but she did - and being a scientist, athei...
Another mind bending adventure on the Flipside.
In today's episode, part three of our "Robert Thurman in the Bardo" series - Robert stops by to continue what he was saying last week.
Two weeks ago, just after his passing, he stopped by to chat with us.
By way of introduction, Robert and I were pals, we traveled to India and Tibet together - he invited me to speak at the Menla conferences "The Art of Dying and Living" conferences.
T...
So here's a more indepth conversation with my old friend, mentor and teacher Robert Thurman on the flipside. It's a unique conversation because I studied Tibetan Buddhism with him, traveled to Mt. Kailash in Tibet with him, made a documentary JOURNEY INTO TIBET WITH ROBERT THURMAN with him - and he's the only person who has appeared on our podcast.
During that episode, he was able to hear information about his grandson who left th...
So one of the great thinkers of the planet has left the stage. I got to know Robert Thurman when I audited his class at Columbia University. I traveled with him to India and Tibet and got to know his wonderful soul mate Nena, mother of their children.
I have many great stories to tell about Robert - but in this case, this is part one of our conversation with Robert - we just didn't have the time today, but we did get a chanc...
THIS IS A RERUN OF A POPULAR EPISODE - ALSO BECAUSE MARILYN IS BEING FEATURED AT THE ACADEMY MUSEUM....
#kobebryant #KOBE, #JESUSCHRIST, #JESUS, #marilynmonroe
We weren't able to do a podcast tonight, "unforeseen circumstances" (isn't that funny for a podcast where we talk to the afterlife?) - but am rerunning one of our most popular podcasts, with the additional opening and subtitles, so people can "sing along with us." Just kiddi...
Another fun episode. In this episode, we talk about the amazing adventure going to the set of Beyond Belief with Jimmy Church talking about Amelia Earhart.
Amelia shows up to give her two cents about the show , then Prince shows up to remind us that June 7th is "Prince Day" - and reiterates we should dance, sing, play some of his tunes... why not?
I ask a question to Stephen Hawking about his journey - he makes a joke a...
Another mind bending conversation with the flipside courtesy of Jennifer Shaffer and Luana Anders.
Conversation begins with Luana talking about telepathic conversation - how people in dreams don't see lips moving but get information telepathically.
The discussion revolves around the new film #Disclosure by #StevenSpielberg - and how scientists still believe that communication has to be audible, instead of telepath...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
