Weirdo Book Club: Operation Trojan Horse by John Keel

Frank Joseph

The episode that broke Klint and Ryan! Frank Joseph is an alternate-history theorist who dives into topics like Atlantis and Lemuria. It may sound like run-of-the-mill stuff, but the man behind this prolific output of books and magazines is another matter entirely. Prepare for squirrels on rafts at the Creation Museum, aquatic apes, Supreme Court battles, and too speechless co-hosts who just don't know what to say to Kyle's big reveal. Check it out!

The Gemstone File

Our most epic deep dive yet! The Gemstone File is a mysterious, shadowy document passed around among conspiracy researchers, college students, and other fringe characters. It reveals deep secrets of the JFK assassination, Watergate, and world domination by…Aristotle Onassis? Along the way, there are artificial gemstones traded for world secrets, jungle karate action, and a nefarious rewriting of the Bible. Join us as we make sense of where these ideas came from, how they got into the hands of the conspiracy research community, and dig up some insider information on how the sausage is made at tabloid newspapers. From the lost art of eccentric paper handouts to dangerous pet-collecting weirdos, this one has it all.

BECAUSE YOU DEMANDED IT! At last, a Dr. Klint Kanopka-led episode! Come along as our resident scientician walks us through the Time Cube hypothesis of Dr. Gene Ray. Prepare to furrow your brow as you grapple with Earth's four simultaneous days, hidden from us in a vast conspiracy going back almost two centuries, as revealed by an elderly marble enthusiast.

The Wytheville UFO and NJ Drone Flaps: A Keelian Perspective

Panic in the skies! In October 1987, Wytheville, Virginia, experienced a bizarre UFO flap, complete with Men in Black reports and strange, albeit all-too-human, visitors to town.
