In Episode 140 of the Weird Tales Radio Show we have the concluding part of our interview with American academic Professor Richard Spence about Aleister Crowley - this week the weirdness embraces the Nazis, Russians spies and even L. Ron Hubbard of the Scientologists. We also have a number of shorter items including the most haunted house in Ireland being up for sale, the urban myths surrounding Phil Collins - yes the guy from Genesis, the Medieval impotence inspectors who were only too willing to lend a hand, and why a 900-years dead Irish saint may have predicted an imminent apocalypse.

In Episode 137 of the Weird Tales Radio Show we talk to American author and journalist Marie D Jones. I really enjoyed this interview - and I hope you will do too - because along with discussing the books Marie writes, fiction and non-fiction including disaster preparedness, the paranormal, ancient knowledge, unknown mysteries, UFOs and alien technology, surveillance technology and conspiracy theories, it also shines a light on the reality of being a writer today.
