KOOKS, CRANKS, AND ICONOCLASTS!

SUP KOOOOOOOOOOOKS! This episode we take a look at some of the less investigated aspects of the "Springheeled Jack" story! Specifically, that whole "secret cabal of bored, rich aristocrats" aspect that may make old Jack the actual Anti-Batman...even before there was a goddamn Batman! That, plus some considerations given to the potential technologies possibly involved in this tale, as well as how that very same secret technology might've also migrated to the U.S. and was maybe even used to make a straight up true, no shit, for real (probably) WWII superhero known for Mario Bros. jumping across Nazi noggins! ALSO! What's up with old Jack's "man/devil/bear" identity disorder? More evidence that there were multiple "Jacks" perhaps? Listen up & find out! PLEASE TO ENJOY!Email us!: [email protected]

SUP YOU BEAUTIFUL KOOOOOOOOOKS! This episode explores the weirdness that is the life and legacy of Ted Owens, a.k.a. "The PK Man"! Perhaps one of, if not THE MOST, well documented individual instance of a man gifted with psychokinetic abilities by space mantises who used his abilities to control the weather and gamble on sporting events.

Here's that companion piece I was talking about in the other episode. This one covers (much like the title says) post-Soviet "Para-journalism", urban legends, as well as "urbex legends". It's a mixed bag of stories about abandoned Soviet bioweapons labs, weird physics defying anomalies, fish-man surgical experiments (I ain't hardly bullshittin' neither, check dat shit out!), Kozyrev Mirrors, and a whole bunch of other assorted high strangeness. This episode is brought to you by VODKA...PLEASE TO ENJOY!Email us!: [email protected] SOURCES see last episode, or check the online archives of the various periodicals mentioned in this episode.

If you are struggling with mental health and/or substance abuse issues...might I suggest...a different substance? No? Yeah, probably not the best route. But if you need immediate help, please dial 988.

SUP KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKS! This episode happened because I stumbled across some material I just couldn't stop reading about. So...I made an episode about it! Listen up as this episode explores the actual real life subculture of dangerous urbex mutants who breach the guarded perimeter of the poisonous radioactive Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (or just "The Zone", if you're one of the cool kids!). We'll explore the Stalker way of life, ideas, concepts, etc. and together take a guided tour of the most notable "tourist attractions" within the Zone, as well as look at some of the Stalker folklore concerning rituals and strange inhumanoid dangers one may face when traversing..."THE ZONE!" All this plus a look into post-Soviet era "para-journalism" (more on that in the companion piece to this episode) as well as examination of urban legends surrounding a former Soviet era ruin supposedly inhabited by a "Satanic black magic cult", which as I'm sure most regular listeners know...is sure to be a hoot.

This is the final bits and conceptual pieces of the "Megalopolimancy" trilogy, parts that didn't quite fit anywhere else of ideas that I really, really, wanted to harp on a lot more. That, and maybe a dash of fancy foot play...but in wordplay. Wait...is it "fancy footwork"...is that the saying? Well fuck that, I prefer play over work. Anywho, give it a listen, it puts a nice little nerdy bowtie on everything else in the series. PLEASE TO ENJOY! Email us!: [email protected]

HEYYOOOOOOO! This one was a lotta fun! I hope you guys enjoy listening to it as much as I did researching it and putting it together! In this episode, we're closing out the big, huge, and super crazy "Megalopolimancy" trilogy, with an intense exploration of some of the stranger theories behind the infamous Whitechapel murders and the historical phantom of London, "JACK THE RIPPER!" Specifically, we look into some of the lesser known occult explanations behind the murders, as well as some of the other "ritualistic" murders that were taking place at the same time, how the Whitechapel murders are connected to "The Nephilim" (yeah, there's actually something there), and one of the absolute most wacky ass, mindbending, 4th dimensional suspects for the true identity of "The Ripper"! ALL THIS AND MORE! IT'S A GODDAMN EXTRAVAGANZA! PLEASE TO ENJOY!
