AAO: Episode 53 - Past Lives (April 2023)

You know we have a banger of an episode when we start it off with a clip from The 1970 film, Patton which won an award for best picture, was directed by Frank Schaffner and written by Francis Ford Coppola. We thought this was an interesting clip to start with because the poem that was just recited by the actor playing General Patton, was actually written by General Patton who not only believed in reincarnation but really did believe he had died and fought a countless number wars throughout his millennia of past lives. And that's what we are talking about today. We not only get into the idea of past lives but dig into NDE, OBE, Ensoulment, Clairvoyance, Thomas Campbell, universal consciousness, secret machines, past life regression, and rose readings. And the cherry on top of this sundae of an episode is that all three of the brothers met with a clairvoyant who explained to us some of our past lives. This is a once in a life-time episode so if you can't listen now, well catch ya in the next one because this is Against All Oddities!

AAO: Episode 52: - W.M.I.T - Douglas Batchelor (March 2023)

Today’s episode is a very special one in-deed because we managed to collectively use enough barbarous words that we were able summon the one and only Douglass Bachelor from the What Magic is This Podcast to appear in the triangle that is against all oddities. We talk to Doug about magic, the esoteric, ASMR, Magical Aptitude, Coyote imitation, Justin Bieber, Fear and Magic, Death Hygiene and Optimism in the occult. This episode is as epic as it seems so stick around because, as I just said, this is Against all oddities.

AAO: Episode 51 - Amusement Parks (February 2023)

Today we will be talking about the oddity that is the Theme Park.  Clearly there is a lot to talk about but like the infamous rollercoasters of our childhood we will be covering a variety of twists and turns as we discuss a dizzying amount of topics including Out of Body experiences, the dead at Disney as well as, tips and tricks for today’s saavy parents, The theme park as liminal space and the uncanny valley.

AAO: Episode 50 - Resolutions 2023 (January 2023)

So on this episode of Against All Oddities we’ll be talking about New Year Resolutions. The intro that you just heard was from the movie national treasure. It was a bit of a stretch to use for this episode but we’ve been dying to sample that movie for a long time and I saw a window.   Obviously we thoroughly cover the cultural oddity that is the New Year Resolution but this episode is so much more than that. We talk about systems of motivation, Death, Cheddar Brats, Edgar Cayce, Tony Robbins, The Source Family, and we even get into the subject of Goth Ska. We have it all, so make a resolute attempt at listening to this episode of Against All Oddities.
