Into The Unknown with Mike and John
Hosts Mike and John — friends for over 35 years — explore the paranormal. East Coast, suburban upbringings influence their world view as they examine topics from the fringes of science, history, and culture. Ghosts, aliens, ancient knowledge, cryptids, lost civilizations and many other interesting and unexplained phenomena are the targets of their investigations and discussions. Are they real or do people just like telling stories? Is there a unifying theory or is it all just a way to pay the bills? Mike and John dive in — with all the others — to find out… and come to their own conclusions.
