Ep. 223: Reinventing SETI: New Directions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Oct 28, 2025

Show notes

Welcome back to Tinfoil Tales! On this episode I am joined by my guest, John Gertz. John was once the director of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and was one of the leading people in the science community trying to discover life outside of our planet.
As public interest in UFOs (or UAPs) surges, from NASA reports to Congressional hearings, the phenomena is at a boiling point. As board chair of the SETI Institute, Gertz is uniquely positioned to cut through the noise. With his forthcoming book Reinventing SETI: New Directions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (Oxford University Press; August 2025), Gertz is challenging the scientific establishment and confronting the pop culture mythmaking that’s clouding our view of what real contact could, and should, look like. It might not be what we think.

Ep. 6: Foiled Fridays - Bugonia and Don't Believe Everything You Hear! Oct 24, 2025

Show notes

Welcome back to another Foiled Fridays! This is another solo episode with Brandon as I discuss Tinfoil Tales involvement with the new Focus Features release Bugonia, in select theaters today, and opening wide Oct 31st. A part of a Tinfoil Tales episode will be included in the film, as one of the main characters listens to the podcast. That leads me to the topic of not always believing everything you hear on podcasts, or everything you read online. There is a real danger that can come from that and it might end up influencing more harm than good.

Ep. 5: Foiled Fridays Oct 17, 2025

Show notes

Welcome back to another Foiled Friday episode. On this little episode I rant a little bit about Big Pharma and how the government just doesn't actually care about any of us.
If you're a fan of Tinfoil Tales, this is just a solo episode with Brandon. Foiled Fridays are just my way of venting some of the things I think about. It could be funny, it could be serious, but it's a little different than a normal Tinfoil Tales episode.
