In this episode of VISITORS, Kelly sits down with filmmaker (and long-time friend of the show), Seth Breedlove, fresh off the release of Lost Contact, the latest feature from Small Town Monsters. Known for grounding tales of high strangeness in the rhythms of real American places, Seth has built a one-of-a-kind documentary universe based in the heart of Ohio, that bridges folklore, investigative filmmaking, and genuine empathy for his subjects.

This week we’re dusting off a VHS tape from 1996, grainy and unsettling...the kind of footage that makes you question what you’re actually seeing. Extraterrestrial or not, what’s captured here is some of the most disturbing evidence ever to surface in the UFO community.

We’re talking about the Jonathan Reed Story, a supposed encounter that begins with a quiet hike in the Mountains and spirals into one of the strangest, most controversial alien contact cases ever recorded. A dead being, a mysterious artifact, soiled pants, government pursuit, and a man whose life would unravel under the weight of his own claim.

What do you think? Was Jonathan Reed the victim of an elaborate conspiracy or the architect of one of the great UFO hoaxes of the late 1990s?

This week we kick of the Spooky Season with an old friend, and an old friend's new film, reviewing Brandon Christensen's 'Night of the Reaper'.   Watch the video version at http://youtube.com/frightday    Watch live at http://twitch.tv/frightday Don't miss out!

This week we tiptoe through some theories swirling online in the wake of the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

Should we dig deeper?

In this episode of VISITORS, Kelly sits down with Juergen Hess—aka Hoodoo Tall—fresh off earning his Ph.D. in Metaphysical Sciences, a milestone that formalizes years of disciplined fieldwork around Sedona and the Bradshaw Ranch. Known for blurring the lines between researcher, experiencer, and storyteller, Juergen shares wisdom shaped by a long friendship and mentorship with the late John Lear, as well as first-hand time “working with” Lear on investigations. He also opens a window into his friendship with author Lou Baldin, a singular (and sometimes polarizing) voice whose ideas are resurfacing—and that some in the UFO community, including Richard Dolan, have been highlighting as worth a closer look.

What makes Hoodoo stand out isn’t just the footage or the archives—it’s the way he leads with empathy and kindness, modeling how to ask brave questions without dehumanizing the people behind the stories. That’s why Sam and Kelly have been proud to share Hoodoo’s work with their girls: as a living example of pursuing your passions with courage, integrity, and curiosity. And if the stars align, we hope to experience Hoodoo’s work in person on our next trip to Sedona—right where so much of this high-strangeness begins.

If you’re new to Hoodoo Tall, this conversation is an ideal entry point; if you’ve followed him for years, you’ll hear fresh context—from Lear’s influence to Baldin’s thought experiments—framed by a researcher who never forgets that people come first. For more on Hoodoo’s recent work and appearances, see his VISITORS episode and recent interviews exploring Bradshaw Ranch phenomena.

This week we crack the door of ordinary for the first time in a bit, discussing all the non-genre things we've been doing as of late.

Also, Byron reveals that he's been tricking you for years.

This week we hear your thoughts on our thoughts on Weapons (and more), before discussing folks who claim prior knowledge to one of the darkest days in US history.

This special rebroadcast honors the late Dr. Jeff Meldrum, whose passing marks the loss of one of the most respected voices in the field of anthropology and cryptozoology. Originally recorded after a chance meeting at a remote gas station—a moment that seemed to embody synchronicity or some greater cosmic order—this conversation remains one of Kelly’s most meaningful and in-depth interviews.

Dr. Meldrum, a Full Professor of Anatomy & Anthropology with a Ph.D. in Anatomical Sciences, devoted his career to the study of human bipedalism and the possibility of a mystery primate known as Bigfoot. His rigorous evaluation of footprint evidence set a high standard for scientific inquiry in a field often clouded with speculation. As Skeptic Brian Dunning once remarked, “The work of responsible scientists like Dr. Meldrum is exactly what true skeptics should be asking the Bigfoot community for, not criticizing him for it.”

In this conversation, Dr. Meldrum shares thoughtful insights into why physical remains have proven so elusive, the limitations of DNA evidence to date, a detailed analysis of the famous Patterson-Gimlin film, and what paths future research might take to finally address this enduring mystery. His clarity, objectivity, and commitment to science made him one of The Captain’s greatest academic heroes—and his voice will be deeply missed.
