Introducing One Strange Thing May 09, 2023

Show notes

Perhaps it’s not the best-known cryptid, but the Michigan Dogman has crept across the Midwest’s imagination—and embedded itself in the region’s nightmares—largely thanks to a single event in 1987. Was it an attack? A sighting? A mysterious footprint? No, strangers, it was something even more powerful: a voice drifting out, over the radio waves.

Special Thanks: Alvin WIlliams of Affirmative Murder for his vocal talents!

Ep. 203 - The Dodleston Messages Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

In 1989, a man named Ken Webster released a book titled "The Vertical Plane" in which he made a remarkable claim. He said that just a few years earlier, while living in the quaint English village of Dodleston, he began receiving messages on his BBC Micro computer. What's so strange about that you might ask? Well according to Ken, those messages were coming from a man living on the same property in the 16th century.

There are few names more legendary in the history of science than that of Nikola Tesla. The inventions he created are still in use today. He helped change and power our modern world.

Show notes

The 1950s and 1960s marked a time when the United States and the Soviet Union were in a proverbial space race to see who could be the first to successfully send human beings into outer space. But did the Soviet Union cover up several embarrassing and tragic accidents even before Yuri Gargarin was credited with being the first man to orbit the earth?
