Joseph Matheny: Bending Reality With Art Oct 08, 2024

This week on Hi, Strangeness, I have on writer and transmedia artist Jospeh Matheny! Joseph has created works using alternate reality gaming and transmedia storytelling methods to deliver a new kind of narrative. He's also extremely well versed in high weirdness, the occult, underground art, and so much more. He's truly my kind of artist: A risk taker, esoterically minded, and not afraid to destroy classic narrative structure. I tried to play it cool, because I'm a big fan, but I'm sure you'll hear a couple of geek out moments. Jospeh is one of those Gen X artists who changed the game..literally. Enjoy!

Yo buds! This week I have on my pal Tobias Wayland! I was lucky enough to snag up an interview with Tobias while he's fresh off the release of The Lake Michigan Mothman episode of Unsolved Mysteries, for which he is heavily featured. We discuss his experience working on the show, and then we do a deepish dive on one of my favorite topics, weird Wisconsin. We talk about Wisco's (am I allowed to call it that?) storied UFO history, bigfoot, dogman, hauntings and a ton of other weirdness permeating his wonderful home state.

This week Beckie-Ann Galentine stops in for a visit to talk all things strange and unusual! Beckie is a massively successful internet influencer, and a wildly brilliant mind in the paranormal field. From the ethics of dying, to respectfully investigating the paranormal, Beckie does the good work out there, folks. We cover all sorts of subjects, from her early beginnings, to her rise to stardom, and how she navigates the world of being an online paranormal sensation. I learned a lot on this episode, and felt very inspired after recording with her. Beckie is a real inspiration on how to do it right! Bravo I say.

Michael Huntington: High Strangeness in the Show Me State! Aug 29, 2024

Howdy friends! This week I'm thrilled to have on a fellow Midwest researcher, Michael Huntington! Michael is a long-time researcher and UFO culture curator from the great state of Missouri. Michael is my kind of researcher too: not bogged down by mainstream UFOlogy, and all the uninteresting drama that comes with it. Instead, Michael advocates for UFO reform, not for attention, but because he cares deeply about the study. Bravo I say! Michael is also well versed and cares deeply for all sorts of weirdness: bigfoot, haunted locations, folklore and other topics that fall into the strange and unusual. I love Michael's work, and really feel inspired by how much he truly cares about these topics. I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired too. Enjoy, my friends.

Brett Eichenberger: Documenting Bigfoot Jul 25, 2024

Howdy there, friends. This week my guest is Brett Eichenberger. Brett is a wildly talented filmmaker, and has made, in my opinion, the two greatest documentaries about the bigfoot phenomenon of all time. We talk about his Flash of Beauty films, both of which are amazing. The second installment focuses on the paranormal aspects associated with bigfoot, which is of particular interest to me, since I love the weird stuff. Brett and his team have a refreshingly open approach to documenting the subject, which is long overdue in my opinion. Brett also shares some amazing stories and incites from the many witnesses he's talked to, and we of course get into some big time high strangeness associated with our good buddy Bigfoot. I cannot recommend checking out his films enough! Have a wonderful and delicious weekend, good buddies!

Well hey there, friends! This week I have on Professor Wham.

I lived 10 miles away from this location for five years, so this was extra special for me. I had a blast recording this one. I hope you all enjoy it!

Good gracious sakes, its baby's first round table show, with the great Emily Louise and Rob "Bust-a-bookshelf" Kristoffersen. Emily and Rob are two of my favorite buddies I've met since starting this show, and on this episode we focus on the cattle mutilation phenomenon. We hover around the Dulce beginnings for mute cases, and widen into the 1970s/80s wild west UFO scene, and all the wild characters associated with it. As always, I learned so much from these two geniuses. I had so much fun with this one, and I hope you do too!

Jamie Chadd: Weird Nebraska Mar 07, 2024

Ooooooohhhhh yeah my guest this week is fellow weird Nebraska enthusiast, Jamie Chadd! Jamie is the greatest historian of weird Nebraska in this era, and we jam on tales of UFOs, cryptids, true crime, ghosts and a ton more. Jamie is also fighting the good fight against corporate ghost tour companies (LAME!) - she has been giving the best ghost tours Eastern Nebraska has ever seen and they are trying to move into our turf to muck up the works. Not on our watch, people! Jamie also has a wonderful paranormal themed boutique called The Benson BOOtique, which is just the coolest store ever. If and when you find yourself in Omaha, you must come by her store and say hi. She's just the best!

Our guest this week is podcasting pioneer, Tim Binnall. Tim created his legendary show Binnall of America (BOA if you're nasty) before podcasting was even a thing. We chat about his early days of getting the podcast off the ground, his all-star cast of guests he had on right off the bat, and the current state of UFOlogy and the paranormal. Tim is also a gonzo journalist of sorts - embedding himself at a Flat Earth Conference as an observer, so we don't have to. Tim is gainfully employed by Coast to Coast where he shares news from the world of the weird with us daily on the C2C website.

Charlotte Newhouse: Funny Bones Jul 21, 2023

My good friend actor/comedian/writer Charlottle Newhouse is my guest this week! Our friendship goes back to our days of sketch comedy in Los Angeles, and she's remained, to this day, one of my favorite people in the world to work with. You've seen her in: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Idiotsitter, Adventure Time and many others. She has a mild interest in high strangeness, so I took this as an opportunity to regale her with a few stories from her home state of New Jersey. She also shares a few stories of the unusual of her own, such as a scary horse name Funny Bones. This was so fun for me - I hope you all enjoy!!

AP Strange Jun 19, 2023

My guest this week is my good buddy, AP Strange! He has a wonderful blog at apstrange.com and can be found on twitter at @AProdigious. We cover a wide array of Fortean subjects such as: Apports, UFOs, encounter cases, synchronicity, weird Massachusettes, comedy, psychedelic imprints and kinds of good stuff.
This episode was recorded a couple of months - so I wanted to make a note that AP left his writing gig at Paranormality Magazine shortly after we recorded this for personal reasons.
I had an absolutely wonderful time chatting with him, as always. Please enjoy!!
