My guest this week is the incredible artist Chet Zar! Chet is the real deal, friends. He's been a full-time artist since he was 15 years old. He started out in the movie biz f/x world, and has since moved on to be most influential player in the Dark Art world. He's one of those unique talents where it's hard to compare his work to anyone else's, and it's all just so wonderful! I'm such a fan of his work, that I was in a bit of shock in the first 20 min (I'm sure you'll be able to tell haha) but he was SO sweet and just a wonderful person to talk weirdness with. We get into his own paranormal experiences, his inspirations, what the occult means to him and just a ton more. I had such a ball chatting with him, and I hope you enjoy it too! PLEASE do yourself a favor and check out the beautiful documentary made about him called CHET ZAR on Tubi. Thanks everyone!

Love, Steve

One of my best buddies in the entire multiverse is my guest this week, and that is the one and only Eric Edelstein! We chat about shitty auditions, our bonding over weird stuff, delicious meals, and the weirdness of the Pacific Northwest, where he's from. This was such a fun episode for me, I really do hope you all enjoy it! I can't recommend checking out his work enough! He's just the best.

This week my guests are Nicole and Noelle from the incredible The Quite Unusaul Podcast! This is perhaps the most hilariously informative podcast on, well, the unusual the exists on our earthly plane. These two had me cracking up, so I apologize in advance for my laughter. We get into all sorts of good stuff: Chicago-land weirdness, their own personal paranormal experiences, the O'Hare 2006 UFO sighting, and most importantly, which Chicago pizza is the best. For the love of the Godz, please please PLEASE go check out there incredible show, and follow them on social media like your life depends on it. Thank you and have a wonderful dinner at some point this week! 
Love, Steve

Also....consider listening to The Brian Jonestown Massacre's "Thank God For Mental Illness" album. It's actually too good, and might make other music suck for you, so be warned.

The one and only Stephanie Quick is my guest this week, and we do a deep dive on the weirdness of a small, once powerful mining town called Nevada City, CA. It's got a very interesting history, and with interesting histories, sometimes you get ghosts and other manifestation of the strange and unusual. Stephanie has spent a good amount of time there, and she shares some of her experiences, and regales me with some lore and history about this fascinating location.  So much I didn't know! Please enjoy and have a great rest of your week, my friends!

We also discuss urban legends around the San Antonio area, and how to repurpose banana peels into delicious hiking snacks. I had an absolutely great time chatting with Gracie..I hope you enjoy too!

My good buddy Michael Hughes is my guest this week! Michael is an amazingly well-rounded weirdo: Forteanna, tarot, magic, esoteric studies and a ton more. We delved into a wide range of topics including his massively viral Donald Trump binding spell, bigfoot as a Western folk hero,  and...the time he was in a John Waters film! Enjoy the episode, and have a great week!

Gem of a human being Todd Purse, of the must listen to podcast, Creative Weirdos, was sweet enough to let me use a round table episode on his show about Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks is such a beautiful representation of the oddness of the paranormal experience, and us three Tweakies get into some of the nitty gritty of what the show means to us. Brilliant filmmaker, Chris Ernst,  also joins us, and holy cow this dude is smart, and has wonderful taste in art and weirdness. This was a true joy! I hope you enjoy this, even if you're not a Twin Peaks nut like we are.

My old buddy, actor/comedian, Ryan Gaul is my guest this week! Ryan and I made our comedy bones together in Los Angeles doing improv and sketch, and quickly became super great friends. He's truly one of the funniest dudes I know, and....he loves all things weird. Double bonus. Ryan tells me some stories of growing up in Maine, and some of the weirdness that was floating around where he grew up. I also regale Ryan with a handful of Maine-centric tales of high strangeness which leads us further down the road of weirdness. I had a ball, and I hope you do too! Peace, my friends.

My guest this week is Chad Lewis! Chad is such a great cat - he gives us the low down on the Van Meter Visitor, which is, in case you don't know, a flying winged monster who gave the business to a small town in Iowa in 1903. I love this case so much! Chad also regales me with tales of the weird and unusual from his home state of Wisconsin. We get into sea serpents, space pancakes, Devil's Lake, and a whole lot more. You can learn more about Chad in the links below. Thanks and have a great week, my friends!
