Project Human

This week I am honored to be joined by the director of The Phenomenon: James Fox.

We discuss his film, his meetings with former senate majority leader Harry Reid, astronauts Edgar Mitchel and Gordon Cooper, the Ruwa Aerial school UFO landing case, some hints at a new mini-series, and so much more.

This week I am joined by real-estate mogul Brandon Fugal. Brandon is the last person you’d expect to have ties to the paranormal or the strange. But this year he went public as the owner of the world’s most famous paranormal hotspot: Skinwalker Ranch. He has a show on the History Channel called The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, which is about to enter its second season.

We discuss what motivates him to invest his money and time into esoteric subjects and frontier science, how he came to acquire Skinwalker from billionaire and aerospace pioneer Robert Bigelow, Brandon’s own UFO sighting on the ranch, and much more.

Tim and I discuss a wide array of topics starting with his background in cognitive psychology. We get into why he decided to become a police officer, what drove him to speak out on the issue of systemic racism in policing, and why he ultimately left that profession. We talk about his UFO sighting, what eventually led him to become an investigative journalist, and what keeps him on the UFO beat. We also discuss consciousness, human perception, why the UFO topic angers me at times, and we get into a really deep discussion about whether or not our government is actively involved in a disinformation campaign regarding UFOs, or if there is really something to all of this.

For more than 30 years, John has been involved in anomalistic, conspiratorial, occult, UFOlogical, and paranormal research. Over the course of this conversation, we discuss everything from what turned John into the proud weirdo that he is today, to his experience as a witness to a Vatican sanctioned exorcism. We go a lot of places: consciousness, UFOs, near-death experiences, nothingness, the magic of coincidences, and much more.

Georgia is probably best known online as a technology podcaster, but her main line of work is actually as a psychotherapist who specializes in treating people who suffer from anxiety and depression. We get particularly deep into the topic of anxiety. She explains what anxiety is, what causes it, and what you can do to treat it when it stops you from being able to live your life. We talk at length about my own recent struggles with anxiety that culminated in really terrifying panic attack that landed me in the hospital. We also touch on the benefits of meditation, the impact COVID has had on her profession and her patients, and much more.

This week I sat down to chat with Rene Ritchie. Rene is a writer, YouTuber and podcaster who specializes in covering all things Apple. We discuss Apple’s new M1 chip, the roads it paves for Apple’s future, and the tech landscape at large. We also get into some bigger questions about the impact the smartphone has had on humanity, augmented reality, and we ponder whether or not companies like Apple think through the repercussions of technological progress.

On this inaugural episode of Project Human, Zac has a chat with Dr. Adam Kehoe. Adam is a software developer with a PhD in Library and Information Science. He blogs about UFOs and related defense issues on his website, Strategic Doubt.
