  • Bradley Plaisier: Preserving the Past and Other Assorted Tales
    Jun 12 2025

    Hey buds! This week my guest is Bradley Plaisier! Bradley is a true head, and an extremely knowledgeable cat on UFO history, and a lover of gnomes. We get into some of his UFO experiences, the preservation of rare documents, weird Michigan and much more. Bradley was kind of enough to provide some show notes, and links to some of the subjects we cover. What a nice guy! I loved chatting with him so much - he's a kindred spirit. Enjoy, friends!

    Love, Steve


    Here’s all of the Marcello Truzzi material I’ve scanned so far. (Any additional Truzzi stuff I scan will be added to this folder. )

    Truzzi’s excellent essay in The Fringes of Reason, “Skeptics and Pseudo-skeptics”.

    I mentioned that Passport To Magonia was a very formative book for me. Here’s a few more: Franz Hartmann’s Among The Gnomes, Books of Blood (Vol. 1-6) by Clive Barker, Killing Hope by William Blum and, of course, Mirage Men by Mark Pilkington.

    I am begging you, beautiful listener, to please explore The Professor’s wonderful old blog, The Big Study

    And while you’re at it, do yourself a favor and follow my pal @oddoldnews on Twitter and/or subscribe to his substack.

  • Morgan Nalley: Spooky Kid/Spooky Adult
    Jun 5 2025

    Hey Friends - This week, my guest is comedian/actor, Morgan Nalley! Morgan is a hilarious, and awesome human being. She's had an interest in the strange and unusual since she was a kid, and that interest doesn't seem to have wanned one iota (did I just type the word iota? I did!) We get into her childhood interest, comedy, her recent trip to Rome, and some compelling paranormal experiences she's had in her adult years. Morgan is such a gem - I hope you all enjoy!

    Love, Steve

  • John Wenz: Tales From The Corn Part 2
    May 14 2025

    Hi friends - John Wenz is back for another installment of Nebraska-centric weirdness. John is originally from Nebraska, and like myself, is obsessed with the state's long history or weird tales. We get into super strange UFO encounters, a famous serial killer who saw a bigfoot in the 1950's, healing machines, and a ton more. John is a great dude, and I highly recommend his beautiful zine Strange Highways. Enjoy!

    Love, Steve

    Hi ho - this week, my guests are Rob Freeman and Mark McNabb. These two fine gents are on a mission, and that mission is to document, and learn more about the wonderful world UFOs, in all its many forms. These two have literally traveled the world, visiting hot spots, and getting some very interesting results. Not only are they coming across UFOs, but they keep bumping into high strangeness. They share some highlights from their travels, share personal experiences, and discuss the cultural differences on how UFOs are experienced. So fun chatting with these two sweet Canadian gentlemen. Enjoy!
