Show notes

What if reality isn't something happening to you, but something you're helping create? Documentary filmmaker Melissa Tittl joins Richard Syrett to discuss ILLUSION, a provocative new film exploring consciousness, perception, ancient wisdom, and the unsettling possibility that our beliefs shape far more of reality than we realize.

GUEST: Melissa Tittl is an award-winning investigative journalist, filmmaker, television producer, and founder of Hathor Studios. Known for her work on Ancient Aliens, The Universe, and groundbreaking documentaries exploring consciousness, ancient mysteries, UFOs, and human perception, she has spent years examining the hidden connections between science, spirituality, and the nature of reality. Her latest film, ILLUSION, challenges audiences to question not just what they believe, but how they came to believe it.

1372 I Was Programmed: An MKULTRA Survivor Speaks Out Jun 15, 2026

Show notes

What if the most disturbing conspiracy theories were never theories at all? Physician and author Dr. Juliette Engel shares her chilling journey through recovered memories of alleged MKULTRA programming, ritual abuse, and hidden intelligence operations. A haunting story of trauma, survival, and secrets buried deep within the human mind.

GUEST: Dr. Juliette Engel is a physician, entrepreneur, inventor, and author of SPARKY: Surviving Sex Magick. She is known for her controversial account of surviving what she believes were childhood MKULTRA-related experiments involving psychological conditioning, dissociation, ritual abuse, and intelligence-linked programs.

1366 THEY BUILT MARS Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

Mars is supposed to be a dead planet — a frozen wasteland of dust, craters, and ancient scars. But what if some of those scars are actually ruins? Tonight, Richard Syrett welcomes Mars researcher George J. Haas to examine astonishing geometric formations on the Red Planet that appear engineered, symmetrical, and eerily familiar. Domes, hexagons, pentagonal platforms, and temple-like structures raise a chilling possibility: Mars may once have been home to an intelligent civilization.

GUEST: George J. Haas is the founder and premier investigator of The Cydonia Institute and a member of the Society for Planetary SETI Research. For more than three decades, he has studied anomalous formations on Mars and coauthored The Cydonia Codex and The Martian Codex. Haas has appeared on the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens, The Proof Is Out There, and The UnXplained with William Shatner. George J. Haas
