Raven Riot returns to talk about SHC! I really can't wrap my brain around these cases & I think you'll find them interesting cause there really are no words to explain what happened to these people. The explanations don't add up & we are left with more questions than answers.  What the hell causes these people to burn up into a pile of ashes? I honestly still have no clue.

This time around, Renni Pollock, host of COMPANY MOVE joins me to discuss her Hometown nut house, The Peoria State Hospital in Illinois.  Its history is actually one of inspiration & good, ethical treatment during a time when State Hospitals were notorious for basically torturing their patients.  And of course, it's haunted too.  We also discuss the Dammasch State Hospital in Oregon, which has a much more sor...

This week JPX & STUNTMAN MIKE take time from running their massive (some would say illegal) empire to talk to me about the LOCH NESS MONSTER.  We know this is well worn & boring territory, but we decided collectively that it was time to finally tell the world the whole truth about Nessie & just end all of the speculation & centuries old arguments.  The truth has arrived. At least our truth, anyway.  En...

Sarah Crosley is back! This time we discuss some of the most intriguing Cryptids from her home state of Indiana.  We focus mainly on the story of Oscar AKA The Beast Of Busco who, in the late 1940's caused a farmer so much grief that he went bankrupt trying to capture him & eventually sold his farm as a result of his fruitless efforts.  We also dig a bit into the aptly named Crosley Monster, who is also known...

Dave is back but this time he joined me IN PERSON, LIVE in the studio!  Enjoy our spirited & spirit soaked conversation (squeaky chair be damned) about the music we're listening to (the 1st 30 minutes or so is all music talk...) and the wild story of Jeffrey Alan Lash.  Was he working for the government? Was he an Alien Hybrid here to save the planet? Was he a drug dealer? An arms dealer?  Or was he just a ve...

This week The Old Man is back to discuss Clifford Stone.  Stone was well known in the Ufology circuit before his death in 2021 & he had many experiences with cleaning up UFO crash sites for the Army.  He wrote an article for UFO Magazine & Phenomena Report in October of 1998 called "Encounter In Vietnam".  I have a personal copy of this issue & the story was too good to not tell to The Old Man.  ...

Back in 1988, a friend of technical illustrator Mark McCandlish claimed to have witnessed a secret exhibit of 3 crafts displaying anti-gravity capabilities.  Based on his experience & other witness recollections, McCandlish drew up the now infamous drawing of the Alien Reproduction Vehicle (ARV), also known as the Fluxliner.  Jeff Bugbee & I discuss the origins of where these crafts may have come from & th...

A mysterious, well dressed man ends up dead on an Australian beach in 1948 & to this very day no one knows who he is or exactly how he died.  There are pictures of his body, his fingerprints are on file, his belongings were found & analyzed, his DNA has even been tested but still...his identity remains a mystery.  Who was The Somerton Man?

Did the Roswell crash provide the US Military with access to a live alien known as EBE #1 who lived for a few years after but before he passed he put us in touch with his home planet of Serpo & that resulted in an eventual meet & greet/exchange program in the early 60's & also probably influenced the whole "Close Encounters Of the 3rd Kind" thing?!?!  Listen to find out!

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
