Hi, Strangeness

Hey friends! This week my guest is the brilliant Kevin Cann! I first learned about Kevin from Jeffrey Kripal's book, How To Think Impossibly. I then bumped into Kevin's incredible Facebook group, Platonic Surrealism, which immediately wow'd me. Kevin is a next level thinker when it comes to the topics we discuss right here on this show, and I think he's one of the few people I know of who's really trying (and succeeding) in taking UFOs and the nature of reality further down the proverbial field. This was such a fun discussion for me. Kevin is brilliant, but he's also and incredibly kind, and sweet man. What a pleasure it was to get to chat with him. Enjoy!

Holy moly, how is everyone? Great to hear! This week, my guest is my good buddy and brilliant author, Joshua Cutchin! I'm a massive fan of every book he's written, and he has really outdone himself with his newest offering, Fourth Wall Phantoms. Josh and I have a deep discussion about his latest book, without spoiling anything (I promise!). We get into the concept of fictional incursions, the non-physicality of the UFO phenomenon, and why we might just need better stories. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book so much. I truly can't recommend it enough, my friends. If you were to read one Fortean book this year, this is the one. That's a Bergantee! Enjoy!

HI friends! This week, I'm joined by the brilliant, Alex Matsuo! I've wanted to chat with Alex for a long time now, so this was a real thrill for me. Alex is an author, and investigator who delves deep into the paranormal. She walks the walk, and contributes to the field of the strange and unusual in a multitude of wonderful ways. We chat about some of the investigations she's been on, why theaters are a magnet for the paranormal, Shakespheare conspiracies, and much more. Enjoy!

Hey buds! This week my guest is Bradley Plaisier! Bradley is a true head, and an extremely knowledgeable cat on UFO history, and a lover of gnomes. We get into some of his UFO experiences, the preservation of rare documents, weird Michigan and much more. Bradley was kind of enough to provide some show notes, and links to some of the subjects we cover. What a nice guy! I loved chatting with him so much - he's a kindred spirit. Enjoy, friends!

Hey Friends - This week, my guest is comedian/actor, Morgan Nalley! Morgan is a hilarious, and awesome human being. She's had an interest in the strange and unusual since she was a kid, and that interest doesn't seem to have wanned one iota (did I just type the word iota? I did!) We get into her childhood interest, comedy, her recent trip to Rome, and some compelling paranormal experiences she's had in her adult years. Morgan is such a gem - I hope you all enjoy!
