Many hypnotists claim that Egyptian sleep temples, for example, were early examples of hypnosis. In this episode, Luke is joined by Daniel, a moderator on the /r/hypnosis community on Reddit, who has...

In this candid (but tasteful) conversation about erotic hypnosis, Luke Chao interviews Bruce Anderson about his personal and professional experiences using hypnosis to elicit erotic pleasure, especially with female subjects.

Answering the question of “Does hypnosis work?” is more complicated than answering whether a drug or operation works, because of the client’s active involvement in the process. The short answer is yes, but in this episode, we attempt to answer the question more thoroughly. In other news, The Hypnosis Nerd is now on iTunes, Google...

    Wisecrack

    He left home as the chubby kid with a dream, a decade later, he's a touring comic with a killer set. Literally. In Wisecrack, stand-up comedian Edd Hedges returns to his hometown for a charity gig, only to find himself headlining the most terrifying night of his life. The warm welcome quickly unravels into a chilling true crime tale of a downward spiral and a town shaken by murder. When TV crime producer Jodi Tovay stumbled across Edd’s comedy set, it did more than get a few laughs, it opened the door to a years-long investigation she never saw coming. Part comedy special, part true crime thriller, Wisecrack blends punchlines with plot twists in a genre-defying ride where the laughs are real and the danger is no joke.
