Episode 11: LSD In The 1950s - A Bus Stop Bench Series

For the first of our Bus Stop Bench series we're joined with special guest John to discuss the use of LSD in the 1950s; primarily by the U.S. government but also how it seeped into broader society. The buttoned up & repressed era of the 1950s is not a time we typically associate with acid and yet that's when the research really kicked off. So throw on your best tie dye cardigan and join us as we play stickball with your mind!

Episode 10: The Sarajevo Safari

The Sarajevo Safari was an ALLEGED war tourism phenomenon that POSSIBLY happened during the siege of Sarajevo between 1992 to 1996. Wealthy foreigners MAY HAVE been paying huge sums of money to the Serbian military for the opportunity to shoot civilians with sniper rifles. It could be a complete myth, but the story has carried on to this day and just last year (2025) the Public Prosecutor's Office in Milan opened an ongoing investigation into the alleged participation of Italian citizens in these horrific crimes. We wanted to come back with something light!

Episode 9: The Eighth Tower - John A. Keel

To close out our series on the life and mind of John A. Keel, we're going to dive into his master's thesis on the paranormal subject captured in the book The Eighth Tower. Does it make sense? No. Does it have any real evidence? Also no. But is it just the kind of ludicrous escapism your life has been craving? Maybe!

Episode 8: The Mothman Prophecies - John A. Keel

Have you heard about Mothman, but never felt like reading the book? Do you want three guys at a bus stop to give you all the talking points so you don't have to? You got nothing better to do right?
