Howdy howdy, friends. This week, we have Michael Hughes back on the show! I've been wanting to cover this specific subject matter for a while now, and Michael was just the person to help me out. Esoteric right-wing extremism has been an ugly specter on all the various genres of esoterica, the paranormal, and UFOlogy since their incarnations. Michael and I discuss some of the uglier sides of this. Michael also tells us about the deep history on some of these scary angles on extremism. I hope y...

Hey hey! I'm back, and with me is my good buddy, and very first guest on Hi, Strangeness, Greg Bishop! Greg is a long time researcher/deep thinker in the UFO game. He's been somewhat of a UFO mentor to me, and his books are essential reading, IMO. On this episode, we get into the limitations of language, art as a means of expressing the UFO experience, and the aimless road of UFO disclosure. This is a fun one! Thanks for everyone's patience as I continue to adjust to a busier work schedule. D...

Oooooohh buddies, I have a fascinating episode for you! John Carlson is my guest this week, and it is a doozy. I don't want to say too much in this description, I'll just say this: If you dig portals and otherworldly creatures coming out of said portals, then this episode is for you! Below, I've linked John's six-part (so good!) blog on the events, and I've also attached the original Binnall of America episode (with Tim's permission, of course) with Adam Davies and John.
