This is another milestone.  We only had a half hour, so I began by asking a specific question. The video that I posted, that Jennifer had not seen - was of footage of Saipan in 1944.  I asked Amelia if this footage featured the Electra?  She said it did but the "wrong date." (She says year, but Jennifer later said that meant date to her).

The video was 3/4's correct.  

Because the footage shows three planes in a hangar on Saipan - ...

Another mind bending podcast.  We begin with a general conversation about the terrible event yesterday where a political commentator was gunned down. I mentioned how we've spoken in the past to people on the flipside including Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, JFK and others who have been killed for their political views.  Unusually, there's a voice that can be heard saying something when I mentioned Robert Kennedy (Bob? Bobby?) t...

Another example of the kind of kismet that happens when Jennifer and I meet up. We don't plan a guest list, we have Luana Anders, our moderator on the Flipside who does that for us.

In this episode, the first person that comes through is Mr. Bailey, Luana's cat.  When Luana was on her death bed, her cat escaped from her house and disappeared. She called me in a panic. My soon to be wife Sherry went with me to see if we could find h...

Another one of those mindbending discussions between Jennifer, myself and folks offstage. In this podcast, we began talking about our previous week, which included Jennifer getting a flat tire at a wedding in Utah.  

That led to a conversation about a dream I had the night before, where my old mentor Fred Roos (prolific producer, Oscar winner) showed up - and I asked Fred some questions about a documentary that he's appearing in - ...

Odd sequence of events allowed me to see Jennifer today.  As she notes in the podcast - someone booked a session which prevented me from seeing her - and then when the day wore on, someone couldn't do their session with Jennifer - so we got together.

There's some really mind bending information here.  Jennifer tells the story of her son losing his wallet and passport, credit cards - and then dreaming about where they were, and goin...

Another one of those mind bending podcasts that we do.  Jennifer is back from her vacation, and Luana wanted to talk about a dream that I had last night - where we flew off to a party event where all her friends were.  It happened in the 1980's, and I was revisiting the event, only some of the people at the party are now on the flipside.

Luana talks about how to manifest oneself into a dream of a love one still on the stage (she sa...

Another mind bending session. Apologies for the wifi interruptions on audio... there's a moment in here where I ask Representative Lewis about three names - James, Andrew and Michael.  Prior to th...

While Jennifer is on a much needed two week vacation, I'll be sharing some of our more unusual podcasts. This was from a year ago....

For those not familiar with this podcast; Jennifer Shaffer is an intuitive medium who works with law enforcement nationwide on missing person cases. She does pro bono work daily for them, and once a week we get together and see what we can learn from the flipside.  We've been doing this weekly for 8 ...

In today's episode, it's a continuation from last week's discussion about process.

We begin by talking about Amelia Earhart and the new book SHE WAS NEVER LOST; THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA.

Jennifer and I never plan what we're going to talk about, and when Amelia shows up to talk about the book, I can do nothing more than listen.

The rest speaks for itself.

It's interesting that we invited Paul Rubens to come and speak to us - but he w...

Another mind bending episode.

We continue talking about process where we left off last week, Jennifer talking about her gratitude meditation that she does every night and again in the morning that keeps her on an even keel. 

I asked Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside if she had anyone who might want to chat with us.  She said Amelia Earhart was here to talk about the book I've just released; "She Was Never Lost: The Amelia...

Every now and then Luana suggests an unusual topic rather than bringing someone forward to speak with us.  In this case, she wanted to talk about the process of communication with people offstage.

Jennifer speaks about her process, working with law enforcement, and how she gets information from people offstage and passes it along to a particular person who works with an agency - and then they take those visuals, impressions, and di...

We did a podcast in Jennifer's office in Manhattan Beach, lensed by Max Carlson who is in the midst of making a documentary about spirituality.

We talk a bit about Jennifer's birthday week - and ask Luana Anders on the flipside how they celebrate birthdays over there. One of Jennifer's friend's son stopped by, the actor Eddie Hassell, and then others weigh in with birthday wishes - Prince,and then a long conversation with Paul Newm...

It's that time of year when our pal Jennifer Shaffer hits another milestone. In this podcast Luana Anders and Jennifer's parents Jim and Linda stopped by to say hello and remind her of their being close by at all times.

A visit from Kobe and Amelia to weigh in on a couple of questions, but mostly a discussion of how to stay in touch with people offstage.

Jennifer works with law enforcement agents nationwide on a daily basis and onc...

Another mind bending podcast.  In this we begin by talking about our recent appearance at Contact in the Desert. I did a guided meditation with a law enforcement person who reached out to me today to talk about something that occurred to him. He knew someone in the midst of the conflagration in downtown LA, and based on something we discussed at the convention, he did a meditation where he "asked his higher self to ask the higher s...

Another one of those mind bending podcasts.  We begin by reviewing our visit to Contact In the Desert over the weekend, where we did a lecture and a workshop. (Both are available at the ContactInTheDesert.com website)

In our lecture members of the audience asked questions from Jennifer and in the workshop, our moderator on the Flipside brought someone who is from another planet.

In that case, Jennifer could see this "green glowing ...

A Memorial Day weekend podcast.  Michael Hutchence, who passed in 1997 stopped by to say hello.  He said that he wanted to "talk about death" but it wasn't until I was uploading this I realized he was referring to "a day where we remember people who have passed away."

I mentioned that we had spoken to him briefly before, that transcript is in one of our Backstage Pass to the Flipside conversations - if memory serves me it was a bri...

Our host on the flipside, Luana Anders wanted to talk about our upcoming talks at Contact in the Desert on May 30th at 11 am, and May 31st at 11 am.

To those fans of the podcast, Luana is our moderator on the flipside.  She passed in 1996, but brought Jennifer and I together and has been moderating our discussions for ten years.

Today she wanted to discuss our upcoming lecture and workshop on Friday May 30th at 11 am (See JenniferS...

This is our 2025 Mother's Day special. 

We didn't plan it that way, but that's what it become. As we've noted in the past, Jennifer and I don't plan any aspect of our podcast other than asking Luana Anders, my pal on the flipside, who wants to come forward and speak with us.

Jennifer and I have been doing this weekly for ten years, the past five on our podcast.  In today's episode Mother Teresa came forward to talk about Mother's d...

On the anniversary of Jennifer's mom's passing, Linda stopped by for a chat about the process. That is - 'How do people offstage reach out to people onstage with coincidence or bits and pieces of memory, so we know they still exist?"

In this case, she reminded Jennifer of a dream that she had where she'd seen her parents line dancing - the memory of seeing them doing that cowboy style. 

That came out of a conversation about how my ...

Another mind bending foray into the Flipside.

First reminding the audience Jennifer and I will be appearing at the Contact In the Desert conference May 30th at 11 am, then Saturday May 31st at 11 am (ContactInTheDesert.com)

Today's podcast included a visit from the actor Eddie Hassell who pointed out that he'd turned the lights on and off at his parent's home in order to get them to reach out to Jennifer.  As it turned out, Steve J...
