Hello Seekers!
Continuing on this week with products produced by the dead - we're tuning into the stranger side of technological history.
From to the Spiricom Mark IV (a machine whose creators claimed allowed them to hold conversations with the dead) to California's famous Integratron (now additionally protected by the Huntington Library and Museum), and everything else in-between; we're looking at the inventors who tried to pull voices from the other side into this one - kicking and screaming all the way.
Enjoy the show and, as always, thanks for getting weird with us!
Hello Seekers!
In the 1850s, former Universalist minister and radical social reformer John Murray Spear claimed he was recieving instructions from a group of dead scientists, inventors and poli8tical thinkers known as "The Association of Electrizers."
Their grand plan? To spiritually "birth" a half-man / half-machine capable of drawing life from the Uniuverse itself tio help humanity twoards a Utopia. And it only get's weirder from there!

Hello Seekers!
Today's episode takes us back (briefly) into the CIA's STARGATE files—but this time, it ratchets up the weird!
Meet Rosemary Brown, a British housewife who claimed that dead composers like Beethoven, Chopin and Franz Liszt were visiting her and dictating brand-new music from beyond the grave.
Enjoy the episiode and thanks for getting weird with us!
Hello Seekers!
In the grand finale of our three part series, we dive into the conclusion of the U.S. government's remote viewing experiment known as STARGATE. The program, which spanned over two decades and cost millions of dollars was finally evaluated by the CIA in 1995 - The question on everyon's mind: Was any of it useful for actual intelligence purposes? And ho9w the heck does The Monroe Institute and astral travel play a part in this?
Find the answers to all this and more on today's Psychic Cold War finale ep. and, as always, thanks for getting weird with us.
Hey Seekers!
I've been at Gamescom this past week, hence the delayed release for this week's episode (but better late than never is what I always say). It actually kind of worked out because:
My planned interview with Seamus Blackley has been pushed to later on in September
It gave me the chance to do some deep diving into what creepy and weird sh*tis just underfoot that no one really knows about as they're walking around checking out the latest game demos.
REMINDER: Despite this week's late release, we are still on time for the last episode to our 3-part series "The Psychic Cold War" going live this Tues for Patreon members and Wednesday for everyone, everywhere, else! Make sure and keep your eyes and ears attuned for it going live!
Enjoy the show and thanks for getting weird with us!

Hello Seekers!
Welcome back to part two of our three part series: The Psychic Cold War!
What had started as a story about fake military telepathy claims has quickly turned into one of the weirdest intelligence experiments in modern history.
Fast forward to 1972, the U.S. has arrived at the Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California; a place known for advanced physics, defense contracts and Silicon Vallet level technical talent. It is the perfect setting for a truly bizarre intersection of science and the supernatural.
In today's episode, we get into the who, what and why of it all over at Stanford and how the program kept surviving even when the government told the public it had all been useless.
I hope you enjoy the show and as always....
Thanks for getting weird with me!
Seekers!
This one is going to be a DOOZY!
Welcome to part 1 of 3 episode mini-series all about the CIA's Project Stargate and Project Gateway and all because of one question I've never really heard annyoe ask in a simple way: Who started it?
Thanks for getting weird with us and buckle up!
Hello Seekers!
I have basically made this week's episode entierly with my phone, so apologies that the sound is a bit off this week but I didn't want to have to push the podcast again, so we are trying this technique out. While not ideal...it's not half bad!
I hope you find this week's story of an obscure occult mail order musician/magician as intriguing as I did when I stumbled across his work.
Who knows? Maybe he will become the next big occult talent to be "discovered" posthumously. After all, only a few folks really knew about Austin Osman Spare until Kenneth Anger came along & now he's finally been given the spotlight he deserves.
As always, enjoy the show!

Hello Seekers!
Welcome back to the 3rd installment of our ongoing Occult Objects: Where Are They Now? mini-series!
When we talk about the history of the occult, we're almost always talking about the people: charismatic cult leaders, philosophers, and (of course) Aliester Crowley. But everyone eventually passes on and, when that happens, the real physical anchors left behind are the objects: personal paperwork, ritual altars and cherished trinkets.
In today's episode, I am tracking the "paper trail" across the globe and asking one simple question: Where did it all go?
Inside OSP: Where Are They Now - Ep. 3, I cover:
As always, thank you all so much for getting weird with me today and enjoy the show!
Hey there Seekers!
It's been a crazy week, so apologies for being a few days late - However, I'm feeling pretty good since I technically managed to get this episode in before the start of the weekend! (I take my small victories where I can get them).
This is episode 2 in a series I've started up called: Occult Objects - Where Are They Now? And so far - it has been a blast - I'm hoping we can get a solid finve decent sized episodes covering this subject matter!
As always, Thanks for getting weird with us and enjoy the show!
