Jason Andrews: SURFACE Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

Jason Andrews is back, and he has an incredible new book called SURFACE: AN INVESTIGATOR'S DESCENT INTO THE TRUE CRIME, OCCULT SYNCHRONICITIES, AND HIGH STRANGENESS OF WESTERN KENTUCKY. Shocker, this book rules! Jason and I get deep into the lore of this book, and his wild personal experiences doing the research. I highly recommend picking up a copy!

Michael Hughes 2 - Esoteric Extremism Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Howdy howdy, friends. This week, we have Michael Hughes back on the show! I've been wanting to cover this specific subject matter for a while now, and Michael was just the person to help me out. Esoteric right-wing extremism has been an ugly specter on all the various genres of esoterica, the paranormal, and UFOlogy since their incarnations. Michael and I discuss some of the uglier sides of this. Michael also tells us about the deep history on some of these scary angles on extremism. I hope you all get something out of this look into some of the darker corners, which I feel need to be discussed from time to time. Thanks!

This week, our guest is Nomar Slevik! Nomar has been researching, writing, and documenting all things strange and unusual in the lovely state of Maine since he was just a little lad.

Greg Bishop: The Art of the UFO Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

Hey hey! I'm back, and with me is my good buddy, and very first guest on Hi, Strangeness, Greg Bishop! Greg is a long time researcher/deep thinker in the UFO game. He's been somewhat of a UFO mentor to me, and his books are essential reading, IMO. On this episode, we get into the limitations of language, art as a means of expressing the UFO experience, and the aimless road of UFO disclosure. This is a fun one!

Thanks for everyone's patience as I continue to adjust to a busier work schedule. Deeply appreciated! Enjoy!

John Carlson (Rerun) - The Case of the Southern Oregon Portals Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

Oooooohh buddies, I have a fascinating episode for you! John Carlson is my guest this week, and it is a doozy. I don't want to say too much in this description, I'll just say this: If you dig portals and otherworldly creatures coming out of said portals, then this episode is for you! Below, I've linked John's six-part (so good!) blog on the events, and I've also attached the original Binnall of America episode (with Tim's permission, of course) with Adam Davies and John. I think you're really going to enjoy this! Peace.
Love, Steve

Yes, friends! This week we have on my good pal, Nicole Launius. Nicole is a kindred spirit, and is not afraid to get her boots dirty.

Nicole is always up to fun stuff, and it was great to catch up with her. Enjoy!
