We talked about the Council of Light, spirit visits from his father and nephew, why he thinks the next phase of human history will expose hidden systems, and how he reads ordinary problems as lessons tied ...

Andre The Alchemist says his first major out-of-body experience showed him Earth as a closed-off bubble inside a larger structure of realms, and that realization pushed him to leave aerospace engineering and focus on consciousness work.

Jeffrey Allen said his first break from a strict scientific worldview happened in college, when he started seeing bright energy around people and then had a dream experience where his girlfriend seemed to enter the dream and speak to him. That pushed him to question whether his beliefs or his experiences were the thing that was off, and it eventually led him from computer...

Jonas Kristensen says his spiritual life began when an older woman on a ferry grabbed his arm and told him he would help many people.

 Barry and Karen Snyder told me how a conventional life, a divorce, a suicide, and a string of inner prompts pushed them into a completely different way of living. Barry described a kundalini awakening, a book that seemed to answer his prayer, and 24 years as a fire lookout on a mountain, while Karen explained how repeated losses and guidance led her to trust a path she could not plan. We talked about awakening, twin flames, t...

At 21 years old, Ryan John was stabbed twice in the head while waiting for his pizza order. He bled out, and the night did something it isn't supposed to do - it stopped. Time bent around him. He left his body. And what he saw next, in the place beyond, was not what any near-death survivor describes.

Ryan met what he calls "the architect." He toured a crystal city. He saw children playing in the spirit world. He went through a life ...

A biotech scientist for two decades, Crystal Cassidy's world shattered when COVID hit and her body began to shut down. Cytokine storms, cardiovascular collapse, neurological problems. She surrendered, and what came next changed everything. A near-death experience, kundalini awakening, ET contact, and eventually the founding of SoulPod, an app for modern mystics who want to go deeper than basic meditation.

In this conversation we exp...

Melissa Pharr went from being an online marketing strategist to discovering she could communicate with the dead — and it all started while watching a Netflix show about mediums. In this episode, Mel shares her journey from skeptic to professional evidential medium, including her first jaw-dropping reading, the "holy shit" moments that proved it was real, and why she gave 100 free readings before charging a cent.

This one got me. Nelson used to watch people's dreams as a kid like he was flipping through TV channels. These days he takes people to meet what he calls "the royal family" — and apparently most of them succeed in about 20 minutes. We go deep on out-of-body experiences, the divine feminine, and why mysticism doesn't have to be complicated.

    DISGRACELAND

    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. To unlock ad-free listening, exclusive content, and connect with your fellow Disgos, go to www.disgracelandpod.com to become an All Access member. Rocka Rolla.
