The Psychic Explorer

In this special episode of The Psychic Explorer, paranormal investigator Jono Angelo is back to help me go through the ghost stories you've sent in. And they are properly good.

We hear from Sajid, who came face to face with a Victorian apparition in a care home. Kerry, whose family's converted stable house had a poltergeist with a taste for loft ladders. Charlie, with two stories — one from a London back bedroom, one from a very old house in rural France. Nicola (yes, from episode 12) with a childhood encounter involving a locked attic and a set of Scale Electrics running on their own. And Graham, whose experience at an Irish holiday park — and what the CCTV didn't show — is the one that's stayed with me.

Jono brings both psychic insight and a healthy dose of scepticism to each story. We also get into the power of suggestion, priming, pareidolia, and whether new builds can really be haunted.

Spoiler: yes, they can.

October. Spooky season. And the one-year anniversary of The Psychic Explorer! 🎃

To mark both occasions, I'm joined by Jono Angelo — paranormal investigator, psychic medium, and my very first male guest. Jono has been on close to a hundred paranormal investigations, and in this episode he takes me through the mechanics of what actually happens when you go looking for the unseen.

We get into why some spirits get stuck and don't cross over, what different types of dark and negative energies actually are, and Jono shares the story of the feeling of being physically stabbed by an entity during a house investigation in Lowestoft. We also get into whether science can ever truly explain the paranormal — and the honest answer might surprise you.

I'm still sitting on the fence with some of this. But Jono makes a compelling case for why every developing medium should experience a paranormal investigation.

(And yes — I tease what's coming in December. 👀)

Sometimes life gets very 'lifey'. And sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is borrow your dad's camper van, drive 460 miles north and let Scotland do its thing. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Before this trip I was feeling spiritually disconnected — and I'll be honest, that felt like something I probably shouldn't admit given I host a podcast about mediumship. But this is an honest podcast, and these things ebb and flow.

In this solo episode I take you with me through the Scottish Highlands, reflect on the pressure we put on ourselves to be "spiritual" 24/7, and pull a card at sunrise on a wild Scottish beach with a message for anyone whose connection has gone quiet.

If you've been feeling like you should be doing more but can't quite get there — this one's for you.

Words can heal. They can also devastate. I learnt that the hard way during a mediumship circle, when I blurted out the wrong word to someone I care about — and I've never forgotten it.

That experience led me to Judy Wayman, a Norfolk celebrant and founder of Moonstone Ceremonies — and someone I know personally, because Judy led my mum's funeral. She has a gift for finding the exact words that honour a life, bring a room together, and sometimes, channel something beyond herself.

In this episode, Judy and I explore the deep parallels between celebrancy and mediumship — both of us, in different ways, speaking to the unseen. We talk about grief, storytelling, shamanism, and why the words we choose in our most vulnerable moments matter more than we realise.

Whether you're a developing medium, working with the bereaved, or simply someone who's ever struggled to find the right words — this one's for you.

Recording on the day after turning 41, I'm revisiting one of the most terrifying moments of my mediumship journey — my very first platform event.

Called at almost no notice, with no time to prepare and every reason to say no, I said yes anyway. What followed was a day of near-nausea, self-doubt, and trying not to think about standing up in front of 30 strangers to channel messages from their loved ones.

In this solo episode, I share exactly what happened, what I felt, and what I took away from the experience — including the one lesson that has stayed with me ever since: get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Whether you're a developing medium, curious about platform mediumship, or just facing something that terrifies you, this one's for you.

Julie Virgo has been a Reiki master and holistic therapist since 2008 — but her journey into healing began much earlier, with childhood abilities her family asked her to suppress.

In this episode, Julie demystifies Reiki and holistic therapy from the ground up — what they actually are, how they work alongside conventional medicine, and how she tailors treatments for each person. From reflexology to lymphatic drainage, crystal healing to aromatherapy, Julie explains how she listens first and lets the energy go where it needs to.

We also talk about finding your tribe when your family doesn't understand your path — and why sometimes the most healing thing you can offer someone is simply to listen.

Do psychics see dead people like in the movies? Can you win the lottery if you're gifted? And is there actually an on/off switch for mediumship abilities?

In this episode I tackle the questions I get asked most — and the ones I asked myself before stepping into this world. From Hollywood myths to the genuine subtlety of how psychic and mediumship work actually feels, I pull back the curtain on what it's really like to receive and interpret information from spirit.

Whether you're curious, sceptical, or somewhere on your own development journey, this one's for you.

What happens when your sexuality and your spirituality are so deeply entwined they can't be separated?

In this episode of The Psychic Explorer, I sit down with Delana Luna — spirit-led artist, tarot reader, shamanic practitioner and PhD researcher — for one of the most layered and intellectually rich conversations I've had on this podcast. Delana opens up about coming out as both queer and spiritual, what demisexuality and asexuality really mean, and how other people's comfort zones become barriers to your authenticity.

We explore the LGBTQ+ experience through a spiritual lens, the tension between fitting in and being fully yourself, and why the pressures placed on both your sexuality and your spirituality are more similar than you might think.

You don't have to be queer to take something away from this one. I promise.

After missing a week due to illness, I'm back with a short check-in — and an inspired poem from listener Janice that landed at exactly the right moment.

This mini episode is about what happens when life forces you to stop. The burnout, the disconnection from spiritual practice, the readings that haven't felt quite right. And why sometimes that pause is exactly what's needed.

I also pull a card — completely randomly — and it turns out to feature a full moon. This episode happened to go out on a full moon. I'll take that.

If you're feeling run down, disconnected, or like your spiritual practice has gone a bit quiet, this one's for you!

Poem: 'Time Is A Healer' by Janice Bunn

Outro Music: Please Calm My Mind by Lesfm

What exactly is a mediumship development circle — and is it really for you?

In this episode I sit down with Nicola Ghigi, spiritual medium, energy healer and founder of the Norfolk Spiritual Centre, who has been on her own spiritual journey for over 30 years. Nicola shares how her path began following the passing of her mother, and what she's learned about psychic and mediumship development in the decades since.

We cover what a development circle actually is, the difference between open and closed circles, who they're for, and what to realistically expect if you're thinking about attending one for the first time.

Nicola also shares the moment that changed her perspective on mediumship entirely — and the advice she gives every new student: "comparison is the thief of joy."
