Tales from the Hall of Dark Truths Episode 1: The Lemurian Timewar
Holy shit... The Lemurian Timewar. Sounds cool, right? Kind of intriguing, like the title of a Doctor Who episode, back when Doctor Who was interesting. In this first episode of our new series, examining paranormal & metaphysical mysteries, we dip into the cesspool that is the CCRU. The CCRU, or Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, were a collective of absolute scumbags who helped bring about the Clown World we’ve all been living in for the past 20+ years. God, I hate these people. Anyway, here’s the episode. Doc Casstles, YogaMidnight, Maeko, & your irrepressible Kung Fu Uncle give it their best as they tackle concepts like Hyperstition, & talk shit about almost everything else. Enjoy!

Kung Fu Discussion Group, Episode 13: Internal Power in Popular Culture
A long delayed, much desired episode is finally here!! "Inner Strength", "Internal Power", Inner Energy", "Qi", "Ki", "Chakra". There are a number of ways to refer to a capacity that lies dormant within most people. A few rare types naturally awaken to this latent aspect of humanity. But, for the bulk of humanity, special training is required. The sort of training one finds in the World of Martial Arts. In this installment, your favorite Kung Fu Uncle, "Metaphysical Polemarch" YogaMidnight, Backdoor Saboteur Maeko, & Great White Hunter Lloyd take a look at the various pop culture depictions of the special, Inner Power developed by Martial Arts training. "Informal" is the watchword for this one, friends!

Crossing Hands Episode 6: Alex Sender
Many years ago, when your Kung Fu Uncle worked in the decadent & corrupt cesspit that is the World of FINE Art, there emerged a man so fearsome, so terrifying, so overwhelmingly BALD that he was often mistaken for Lex Luthor, with the power & fury of a thousand screaming Conservatives who grew up in a Progressive, Liberal "city", that the weirdos & Soy Entities quaked in their booties. That man was The Human Calamity: Maeko! Lessons Learned in the World of Martial Arts Sickness Kung Fu Store Books by Uncle Sickness The Sickness Kung Fu Email List
