Adam Wilson from grindcore powerbabes TRANSIENT joins  me to discuss Hermits.  We get into the reasons why a person might decide to become one, some historical examples, some modern examples & the intentions behind their decisions.  Perhaps you've thought of becoming a Hermit...I assume we all have. The perception of Hermits has changed over time from a position of knowledge & wisdom that can be shared as a benefit to society to Hermits becoming societal pariah (especially in America).  There are many approaches to the endeavor & we have a well rounded discussion about the why's, the how's & the who's.

This week, Nathaniel Rappole aka GULL joins me to discuss instruments that are known for their majestic or sometimes evil properties &  we swoon over their creation stories. We also really get into how making music & listening to music can be a magical experience.  It's time travel, teleportation, therapy, dimension hopping, tapping into the oneness, it's catharsis, it's community, it's family, it's...it's everything.  It can do so much for us sentient beings stuck in our meat suits on this planet. Music means a lot to me, it means a lot to Nathaniel.  We chew a lot of cud contemplating where it's taken us, the power of it, the divinity of its creation & the beauty of its consumption.

John Magnifico from Twelve Hour Turn, Old Growth  & Old Junior joins me to discuss his home state of West Virginia & a few weird monsters known to be lurking in the woods there.  He grew up in Grafton, a town known for inventing Mother's Day (Happy Mother's Day!) but also known for a massive, carnivorous being called The Grafton Monster.  We discuss the lore behind it & we also dip into the Flatwoods Monster & mention a few more sketchy, stank ass creatures seen throughout the state along the way.  Turns out Wild, Wonderful & Weird West Virginia has a lot of creepy cryptids to keep an eye out for.  Stick around cause at the end of the show I play some snippets from the upcoming Old Growth record!

Amateur Archaeologist & Weird Creature Expert  Sarah Crosley is back on the show this week to  say maybe the Bigfoots & the Hobbits of the world aren't just fantasy creatures...maybe they were & possibly still are real.  The story of Ebu Gogo is one of those folkloric creatures come to life in the form of actual skeletal remains found in a cave on the island of Flores in Indonesia.  Now, Homo Floresiensis is a part of the story of evolution on this planet, like it or not.  It's time to start looking at these old folk tales as not only fun myths but actual historical accounts that were documented & kept alive in the oral tradition of storytelling.

Andy Sell from Ghoul School: A Horror History Podcast joins me in a crossover episode to discuss the absolutely bonkers history behind the infamous McPherson Tape. The Original movie, called UFO Abduction, depicted a family in the throes of an alien abduction caught in real time on home video. Was it real? Was it a hoax? Was the US Government involved? The creative mastermind behind it all, Dean Alioto, tells his story often but will people accept it? Of course they won't! This little film would come to serve as a blueprint & lay a lot of groundwork for future found footage films of the same ilk, namely The Blair Witch Project & Cloverfield.  Join us as we discuss not only the story behind the making of the film but all of the insanity that occured after it was made that led to the remake 10 years later...then all of the insanity that occured after that was made.  This story truly has it all...

Aris Hunter Wales from BEWITCHER & ORDER OF THE GASH joins me in a Rock 'n' Roll romp through 4 songs that were inspired by true life events.  Whether it was their own experience or someone else's, these musicians found inspiration in the unknown.  We discuss Sammy Hagar's abduction experience & his song "Silver Lights", Creedence Clearwater Revival's "It Came Out Of The Sky" & the 2 events that inspired the lyrics, "Space Invader" by Ace Frehley & his wealth of ET experiences & finally Megadeth's "Hangar 18" about, you guessed it, the infamous Hangar 18 at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio.

Quinn Schwartz from the Portland, OR "paranormal stoner punk" band GHOST FROG joins me to discuss a handful of UFO Cults/Religions that were created soon after the 1st sightings were reported in the late 1940's in America.  We specifically discuss Ashtar Command, The Aetherius Society, The Uranius Academy of Science, Heaven's Gate & Raelism. It's a lot to cram into one episode but we roll through seamlessly, like professionals, to bring you a very crude but entertaining take on their sordid histories.

Emily Donat returns to discuss DMT, its high probability to take you to an amazing, possibly REAL place & its correlation to Near Death Experiences & what that all could possibly mean.  Are we just a threshold away from the truth? Are we all capable of knowing the true love & understanding we are all born from & die into? DMT could reveal all of the answers...

This week The Old Man is back to discuss alien abduction. He has been fascinated by common physical traits that abductees seem to share, so with that as a jumping off point, we delve deeper into some research that breaks down what kinds of folks get plucked up from the planet by extraterrestrials.
