My Chemtrail Romance

EPISODE 73 | My Chemtrail Romance
Planes go by in the sky and leave white trails behind them. Some of us see this and think, wow, ice crystals. Other think it’s a nefarious evil plot to take away our minds or our virility or something else.
As soon as someone starts talking about chemtrails, you sort of know where you stand with them. They're a conspiracy nut and can be easily dismissed. Especially since there seems to be little consensus about what, exactly, the problem with these lines in the sky is. The only thing they seem to be able to agree upon is that it ain't ice and it ain’t good.

Everywhere Is Haunted w/Bob LeMent

EPISODE 72 | Everywhere Is Haunted
Guest: Bob LeMent, creator and host of the Static Radio podcast and Everywhere Is Haunted YouTube channel
The unseen world is intriguing to many of us, especially those of us embroiled in pop culture. Plenty of people believe in ghosts, spirits, shades, spectres, shadows, phantoms, eidolons, or whatever you want to call them. We talk with Bob LeMent, who runs the Everywhere Is Haunted YouTube channel about ghost hunting TV shows, equipment, theories and a couple of anomalous events that have actually happened to him, one involving the Shadow People and another with a UFO.

The Starfighter & the Condor (WIW 7)

EPISODE 71 | The Starfighter & the Condor (World Is Weird 7)
The story of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter starts fine, but then takes a turn into comedy, then tragedy before veering into corporate malfeasance, corruption, far-right ultranationalism, secret agents, a modern kamikaze attack, a finance giant and a bag lady, MK-ULTRA Manchurian Candidates and South American state-sponsored terror. 
Because the world is weird.

Monster Mash: Vampires

EPISODE 70 | Monster Mash: Vampires
With Halloween just around the corner, it’s natural to start think about the supernatural. While superheroes and characters from TV and movies are increasingly popular costumes, it’s very often the classics we turn to when choosing what to dress up as for All Hallow’s Eve.
Vampire is still a popular choice, and the idea of undead blood-drinking fiends frightens some and titillates others. And some people even say that they are, in fact, vampires.

Persistent Illusion: Time Travellers

EPISODE 68 | Persistent Illusion: Time Travellers
We are accustomed to thinking of time as a fourth dimension, though Einstein says space and time are really, when you get down to it, the same thing. As he once said, “The distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
This makes us wonder – will it one day be possible to travel in time the same way we do in space? If so, one can only assume that, if time travel exists at some future date, there must be some people from our future walking around today, in our present. There have certainly been plenty of claims to that effect.

Pixels & Paranoia: Video Game Conspiracies

EPISODE 67 | Pixels & Paranoia: Video Game Conspiracies
From its humble beginnings, the video game industry has expanded from cabinet arcade games to PCs and home consoles. Two-thirds of adults in the US and three-quarters of children play them. It makes more than the film industry, which got to around $21 bn last year; and music, which made almost $26 billion in 2021. Globally, gaming hit $192 bn in 2021 and is expected to break $200 bn this year.
And it should come as no surprise that there have been rumours, urban legends, controversies and even outright conspiracy theories about video games. Games that kill, or carry a curse, or control people's minds, or contain hidden truths that some would prefer remained hidden.

Really Stranger Things: The U.S. Satanic Panic of the 1980s

EPISODE 66 | Really Stranger Things: The U.S. Satanic Panic of the 1980s
For episode 66 (that's two-thirds of the Beast), we look at the large-scale freakout about "Satanism" that swept across America in the 80s. Music was a frequent target, but so was Dungeons & Dragons, Proctor & Gamble and even McDonald's. Plus a pitstop in Northern Ireland in the early days of the Troubles, when it seems British Intelligence fostered their own scare stories.

EPISODE 65 | Acronyms for Satan: CERN, LHC, WWW & More
Ever since its very beginning, wild speculation has circulated about the LHC at CERN. That it causes shifts in reality, leading to the dreaded Mandela Effect. That it actually sucked the earth into a black hole (where we now presumably reside). That it creates antimatter. That it is a secret temple to the dark lord of the underworld, SATAN, and it trying to open a portal to the Netherworld. That its spacetime bending properties were harnessed by American Democrats to steal the 2020 presidential election (this despite it being in Switzerland). 
So it’s time now to take a look at this organization and its complex at the edge of Geneva, and the 27km in circumference tunnel ring and see what it is and what they get up to in there.

Accidental Tourists: Interdimensional Travellers

EPISODE 64 | Accidental Tourists: Interdimensional Travellers
Sometimes the fabric of our world thins out, and people slip through - either from another dimension or into one. So some people think, while others claim it happened to them. Come along on a trip through different times and places, visiting 12th century England, 19th century Germany, Spain, Japan, Mormon mythology and, of course, the United States, including Ong's Hat, New Jersey - site of the very first internet conspiracy theory.
