S3E2: When Reincarnation Leaves a Paper Trail | The Reincarnation Records Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Carol Bowman, a mother turned researcher of children’s past-life memories, begins with a question she can’t shake: if children are carrying memories from another life, could talking about them help them heal? When a frightened mother calls about her three-year-old son Blake, Carol gets a chance to find out. After months of unexplained pain, withdrawal, and memories of being killed by a truck, one conversation appears to change him overnight. The experience propels Carol onto the national stage and brings stories from families across America pouring in.

But healing is one thing. Evidence is another. Years later, Carol encounters the kind of case she has been searching for: a young Louisiana boy plagued by nightmares of dying in a burning airplane. He begins offering specific details about a World War II pilot, an aircraft carrier, fellow servicemen, and where he says he was shot down. His Christian father sets out to find another explanation, until his investigation begins uncovering names, military records, eyewitnesses, recognitions, and a dead pilot whose life appears to match his son’s memories.

When a child’s story comes with names, records, witnesses, recognitions, and a paper trail, does that mean reincarnation is real? Or is something else giving these children access to information they seemingly could not know?

S3E1: The Boy Who Remembered Dying | The Reincarnation Records Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

When five-year-old Chase Bowman developed an inexplicable terror of loud booming sounds, his mother, Carol, had no idea what was causing it. Then, sitting on her lap at their kitchen table, Chase began describing another life: a soldier on a battlefield, a gun with a bayonet, a wound to his wrist, and ultimately, his own death. What happened afterward was just as startling. The chronic eczema on Chase’s wrist cleared, and his debilitating fear of loud noises disappeared.

For Carol, that moment changed everything. A stay-at-home mom with no background in science or reincarnation research, she became determined to understand what had happened to her son. Were experiences like Chase’s real? Were other children having them? How common are these memories in the West, especially in Judeo-Christian families like hers? Could simply remembering and talking about these memories somehow help children heal?

Her search would lead her to the work of pioneering researcher Ian Stevenson and eventually beyond her own family, as Carol began looking for other American parents whose children were describing memories they couldn’t explain. Was she uncovering something hidden in plain sight about memory, consciousness, and what survives death? Or were parents simply finding meaning in experiences that could be explained by more conventional means?

S2E54: When Caelum Came Back Part II | Talk Tracks Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

In Part Two of Caelum's story, we go deeper into the writings and experiences he has shared with his family since learning to communicate through facilitated communication.

Joining Caelum's mother, Anne-Marie, is his brother Jacob, who has spent years communicating with Caelum and documenting his thoughts in journals. Together, they share Caelum's reflections on God, consciousness, death, and what he says he experienced during the time he was outside his body after his drowning.

Caelum describes being given a choice to remain in the presence of God or return to this reality, and explains why he believes he came back with a purpose: to teach. He shares his understanding of what happens after death, what he calls different “realities” and levels of consciousness, and the role of love, service, and free will in our lives.

We also hear some of Caelum's poetry and reflections on his paintings, as well as stories about the unusual ways his family says he perceives the people and world around him.

S2E53: When Caelum Came Back Part I | Talk Tracks Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

At 17 months old, Caelum Miller suffered a near-fatal drowning that left him with a severe traumatic brain injury. Doctors told his family he would likely remain in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. But his parents refused to close the door on what might be possible.

Years later, Caelum learned to communicate through facilitated communication and began sharing thoughts, memories, and experiences that his family says challenged everything they understood about his consciousness.

In this episode, Caelum and his mother, Anne-Marie, tell the story of his remarkable recovery and the moment communication changed everything. Caelum describes what he says he experienced while outside his body, including an encounter with a deceased musician he had never met, and shares his perspective on God, consciousness, and what he believes happens beyond this physical world.

We also hear from Anne-Marie about the skepticism surrounding facilitated communication, the years of journals documenting Caelum's words, and what it has meant for their family to discover a voice they were once told they would never hear.

S2E52: BONUS: The Wisdom of Connection with Dr. Zach Bush Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

In this bonus episode from our partner series The Telepathy Tapes: Now What?, Betsy and Libby sit down with Dr. Zach Bush for a conversation about one of the ideas at the heart of their experiences as parents: what if our children are perceiving the world in ways we have forgotten how to perceive ourselves?

The conversation begins with nature. Betsy reflects on how her son Joe is drawn to the earth, water, and the natural world, while she often finds herself caught up in the worries of everyday life. From there, Zach explores his belief that life is fundamentally built through relationship and that many of us have become disconnected from that sense of interconnection.

They talk about autism, sensory experience, food, the microbiome, and why Zach believes some nonspeaking autistic people may be deeply attuned to environmental signals that others have learned to filter out. They also discuss parenting, the exhaustion of trying to control outcomes, and what can happen when caregivers begin to follow their child's lead rather than constantly trying to make their child fit into the world around them.

For parents who have spent years asking What do I do?, Zach offers a different question: What happens if we become quiet enough to notice what our children are already showing us?

S2E51: Willow Smith on Creativity, Consciousness, and Music | Talk Tracks Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Grammy-nominated artist Willow Smith joins Ky Dickens for a deeply personal conversation about music as medicine, dreams as creative portals, spirituality, and the mystery of human connection.

Willow shares how a lifetime of curiosity - from sacred traditions and nature to science and consciousness - has shaped her creative life. She reflects on music as a devotional and communal practice, the role of intuition in her songwriting, and the profound experiences that have expanded her sense of what may be possible.

She also discusses “Talk On The Hill,” her beautiful song from her newest album The Thread, inspired by the non-speakers of The Telepathy Tapes and the extraordinary possibilities of communication beyond words.

TRAILER: The Reincarnation Records (Telepathy Tapes Season 3) Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

The Telepathy Tapes returns October 7 with Season 3: The Reincarnation Records.

If The Telepathy Tapes deconstructed what you believe about consciousness, The Reincarnation Records may shatter it.

On October 7th, Ky Dickens takes on one of humanity’s oldest questions in a new podcast, The Reincarnation Records: What if memory doesn’t begin at birth? If The Telepathy Tapes challenged the way we think about consciousness, The Reincarnation Records confronts evidence that could alter what we believe about death.

Around the world, young children have described lives they seemingly never lived. They remember people they’ve never met, speak languages they’ve never learned, and know intimate details about places they’ve never visited. Some describe sudden or traumatic deaths, with birthmarks that appear to mirror the injuries they recall. Others exhibit unexplained fears, behaviors or extraordinary abilities that seem to belong to the lives they claim came before. And remarkably, in most cases, simply allowing children to talk about these memories appears to bring profound emotional and even physical healing.

In a worldwide investigation spanning France, Nepal, Vietnam, Germany, Brazil, Tibet, Sri Lanka, and the United States, Dickens works with researchers and experts from around the world, including scholars affiliated with the University of Virginia and Harvard, to examine extraordinary cases and the evidence behind them. We meet children whose memories contain startlingly specific details that can sometimes be independently verified, and families whose understanding of reality has been transformed by what their children remember. Along the way, we trace the ancient debate over whether we’ve lived before, from contested ideas in early Christianity to the extraordinary Tibetan Buddhist process used to identify the reincarnating Dalai Lama.

Could suggestion, coincidence or cultural influence explain these stories? What happens when a child’s statements are documented before anyone knows whom they might be describing? And if even a fraction of these cases resist conventional explanation, what happens to the worldview we’ve built around the idea that consciousness begins at birth and ends at death?

S2E50: When Frontier Science Enters Mainstream Journals: Energy Healing Cancer Study Update | Talk Tracks Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

In Season 2 of The Consciousness Cassettes, Ky explored a groundbreaking study at MD Anderson Cancer Center examining energy healing, also known as biofield therapy, in pancreatic cancer cells and mice. Now, that research has officially been published.

Ky returns to the study with integrative oncologist Dr. Santosh Rao and Meredith Sprengel, Research and Program Director of the Subtle Energy Funders Collective. Together, they unpack the study’s most compelling findings, including slower cancer cell growth, reduced invasiveness, and significantly fewer visible liver metastases in some of the mouse experiments.

Together they go behind the scenes of the scientific process to examine why frontier research can be so difficult to fund, study, and publish, especially when its proposed mechanism does not fit neatly within the current scientific paradigm. What does peer review actually involve? Why was the paper withdrawn shortly before publication by one journal? And what will it take to move energy healing research forward?

The publication gives scientists something concrete to replicate, challenge, and build upon, inviting us all to approach the unexplained as open-minded skeptics.

S2E49: Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove: The World's only Parapsychology PhD | Talk Tracks Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

Can dreams and synchronicities be the Universe's way of leading you to become your best self?

In this Talk Tracks episode, Ky sits down with researcher, author, and talk show host Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove, the world's first and only PhD in Parapsychology.

For fifty years Dr. Mishlove has hosted radio, television, and podcast shows where he interviewed the top minds in frontier science, speaking with leaders in fields such as physics and psychology. Currently his Youtube channel, New Thinking Allowed, releases new episodes daily.

Dr. Mishlove has also authored articles and books on the paranormal and psychical research, including The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

Together, Ky and Dr. Mishlove explore the shared death experience that launched his career in parapsychology, and the dreams that guided his journey. Dr. Mishlove also shares stories from early-1970s San Francisco, reflecting on the eclectic cast of characters who shaped that era. Finally, they dive into his award-winning 2021 Bigelow Institute essay, which presents compelling evidence for the survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.

S2E48: Shared Death Experiences | Talk Tracks Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

What happens when someone seems to experience another person’s death from the inside?

In this episode of The Talk Tracks, Ky explores the little-known phenomenon of shared death experiences - reports in which a loved one, caregiver, or even someone far away from the dying person describes seeing, feeling, or briefly accompanying part of their transition.

We hear extraordinary firsthand accounts from Christine Coyne and Elizabeth Boisson, as well as the story of Dr. Joan Borysenko and her son, who both reported unusual experiences as Joan’s mother died. Researcher William Peters explains the patterns his team has identified across more than 150 reported cases, including a surprising number that occurred remotely, sometimes before the experiencer even knew a death was taking place.

Ky also speaks with neuroscientist Dr. Marjorie Woollacott and physician Dr. Monica Williams about what these accounts may tell us about consciousness, the limits of our current scientific models, and why healthcare providers should be prepared to listen when patients and families report experiences they cannot easily explain.
