EPISODE 74 | Red Alert: UFOs as Threat!

Some think UAPs might be a "threat" and there have been a few incidents that might be indicative of intent to harm. Or at least, encounters that we interpret as maybe not so friendly, though that might say more about us than about any glowing orbs flying around in the sky.

EPISODE 73 | My Chemtrail Romance

Planes go by in the sky and leave white trails behind them. Some of us see this and think, wow, ice crystals. Other think it’s a nefarious evil plot to take away our minds or our virility or something else.

As soon as someone starts talking about chemtrails, you sort of know where you stand with them. They're a conspiracy nut and can be easily dismissed. Especially since there seems to be little consensus about what, exactly, the problem with these lines in the sky is. The only thing they seem to be able to agree upon is that it ain't ice and it ain’t good.

EPISODE 72 | Everywhere Is Haunted

Guest: Bob LeMent, creator and host of the Static Radio podcast and Everywhere Is Haunted YouTube channel

The unseen world is intriguing to many of us, especially those of us embroiled in pop culture. Plenty of people believe in ghosts, spirits, shades, spectres, shadows, phantoms, eidolons, or whatever you want to call them. We talk with Bob LeMent, who runs the Everywhere Is Haunted YouTube channel about ghost hunting TV shows, equipment, theories and a couple of anomalous events that have actually happened to him, one involving the Shadow People and another with a UFO.

EPISODE 71 | The Starfighter & the Condor (World Is Weird 7)

The story of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter starts fine, but then takes a turn into comedy, then tragedy before veering into corporate malfeasance, corruption, far-right ultranationalism, secret agents, a modern kamikaze attack, a finance giant and a bag lady, MK-ULTRA Manchurian Candidates and South American state-sponsored terror. 

Because the world is weird.

EPISODE 70 | Monster Mash: Vampires

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s natural to start think about the supernatural. While superheroes and characters from TV and movies are increasingly popular costumes, it’s very often the classics we turn to when choosing what to dress up as for All Hallow’s Eve.

Vampire is still a popular choice, and the idea of undead blood-drinking fiends frightens some and titillates others. And some people even say that they are, in fact, vampires.

EPISODE 69 | Electoral Collage: Voter Fraud, Election Interference & Other Shenanigans (The World Is Weird 6)

The US midterms are coming up and there's lots of chatter about fraud. Are they legit? Has there been fraud and interference in the past? Yes, but not every time foul has been cried. A look at claims and scandals 1792-1982, plus a thumbnail history of American political parties.

EPISODE 68 | Persistent Illusion: Time Travellers

We are accustomed to thinking of time as a fourth dimension, though Einstein says space and time are really, when you get down to it, the same thing. As he once said, “The distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

This makes us wonder – will it one day be possible to travel in time the same way we do in space? If so, one can only assume that, if time travel exists at some future date, there must be some people from our future walking around today, in our present. There have certainly been plenty of claims to that effect.

EPISODE 67 | Pixels & Paranoia: Video Game Conspiracies

From its humble beginnings, the video game industry has expanded from cabinet arcade games to PCs and home consoles. Two-thirds of adults in the US and three-quarters of children play them. It makes more than the film industry, which got to around $21 bn last year; and music, which made almost $26 billion in 2021. Globally, gaming hit $192 bn in 2021 and is expected to break $200 bn this year.

And it should come as no surprise that there have been rumours, urban legends, controversies and even outright conspiracy theories about video games. Games that kill, or carry a curse, or control people's minds, or contain hidden truths that some would prefer remained hidden.

EPISODE 66 | Really Stranger Things: The U.S. Satanic Panic of the 1980s

For episode 66 (that's two-thirds of the Beast), we look at the large-scale freakout about "Satanism" that swept across America in the 80s. Music was a frequent target, but so was Dungeons & Dragons, Proctor & Gamble and even McDonald's. Plus a pitstop in Northern Ireland in the early days of the Troubles, when it seems British Intelligence fostered their own scare stories.

EPISODE 65 | Acronyms for Satan: CERN, LHC, WWW & More

Ever since its very beginning, wild speculation has circulated about the LHC at CERN. That it causes shifts in reality, leading to the dreaded Mandela Effect. That it actually sucked the earth into a black hole (where we now presumably reside). That it creates antimatter. That it is a secret temple to the dark lord of the underworld, SATAN, and it trying to open a portal to the Netherworld. That its spacetime bending properties were harnessed by American Democrats to steal the 2020 presidential election (this despite it being in Switzerland). 

So it’s time now to take a look at this organization and its complex at the edge of Geneva, and the 27km in circumference tunnel ring and see what it is and what they get up to in there.
