September 15, 2021Critical Race Theory: Re-examining ”Normal”
EPISODE 41 | Critical Race Theory: Re-examining "Normal"
A loose framework for thinking about how America's racist roots permeate many social, legal and political systems has become a flashpoint for the far right. And so a war on ideas has started in the country that holds itself up as the beacon of freedom in the world, led by white, heteronormative cis people, mainly men.

September 01, 2021When Nerds Attack: Gamergate, Elevatorgate & Sad Puppies
EPISODE 40 | When Nerds Attack: Gamergate, Elevatorgate & Sad Puppies
A short late night chat in an elevator becomes a flashpoint in a storm of online misogyny; a woman has to hide because she dares critique the depiction of women; a relationship ends, sparking off a campaign of hate against women that lasts for years, and not even the venerable Hugo Awards are safe from the spreading #onlineslimemold. And then the racists get in on the action.
You'd think the realms of atheism, video games and science fiction would be immune to online nonsense, but you'd be very, very wrong. Even there, aggrieved men weaponize the internet to try and "take back" something that was really never theirs in the first place. Along the way the #slimemold will use doxxing, swatting, spite charities and other tools to lay the foundations of the modern alt-right, QAnon and the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

Yesterday was the anniversary of humans landing on the moon. Or was it?

For images and many videos, check this episode and its dedicated playlist on our YouTube channel.
40 years ago, an anonymous group paid a lot of money to have an odd structure erected in a field in Northern Georgia - a series of stone megaliths with carved inscriptions in several languages. What the heck was it? A message for the survivors of a future cataclysm? A statement of intent for the New World Order? Plenty of people are more than a little freaked out by the Georgia Guidestones - it's been vandalized, had bits stolen and wingnuts of all types froth at the mouth when talking about this enigmatic monument to... whatever the hell it is.

EPISODE 35 | A Field Guide to Aliens
For images and many videos, check this episode and its dedicated playlist on our YouTube channel.
"The aliens" are not one group, but many, often with competing goals and motivations. Starting back in 1946, the Russians compiled a handbook for elite KGB and SMERSH agents on 58 separate alien races that visit our planet. Some are nice and some are not very nice at all. They all seem to think the Earth is a special place, however, even if many of them really just couldn't care less about us humans at all. Or so says an internet marketing guy who "found" a copy of this book and claims it's all real, including pictures of the aliens taken from movies and video games. One thing's for sure - it's a helluva story.

Many supposed abductees report scary experiences, but some have a counter-narrative: the aliens are friendly and very attractive and really, really into sex. A close encounter of the groovy kind often spawns a lucrative business and/or cult with the space sweetheart as the leader, of course. Embrace the Age of Aquarius with psychic powers, cosmic vibrations, walk-ins, star seeds and indigo children. There's a lot of money to be made on the peace train. All you need is love, and believers. Preferably believers with disposable income.

May 26, 2021Kaspar Hauser: The Boy, the Syndrome (The World Is Weird 5)
EPISODE 33 | Kaspar Hauser:The Boy, The Syndrome (The World Is Weird 5)
193 years ago today, a boy stumbled into the Bavarian city of Nuremberg. He was carrying two letters, could barely speak and no one knew where he had come from. Speculations flew about the mysterious young man. Was he of royal blood? Had he been raised by wolves? And was he telling the truth when he said someone wanted to kill him?
The strange and enigmatic tale of Kaspar Hauser leads us to language deprivation experiments through the ages as well as the effects of neglect on children. The world is certainly weird.

May 12, 2021A View to a Vril
EPISODE 32 | A View to Vril
Did a 19th century novelist accidentally tap into a long hidden truth about an underground race of godlike beings who control an electrical fluid called the Vril? Of course not. But that hasn't stopped plenty of folks from claiming it as fact, including Theosophists, Nazis, New Agers, a race car journalist turned UFO church guru and psychologist Wilhelm Reich (kind of). Just to name a few.
