S4 Ep 46Vatican't keep a secret (about Nazis)

Hello, We didn't intend to have an episode that was so Nazi heavy, it just happened that way, lucky for you because we know how interested our cultured audience is in Nazis,,, or the moon I guess I had never considered the alternative before.

In this episode we cover about 1 pound of them... it may be more, i'm so fucking bad at estimating the weight of secrets. As always, i'm giving barley anything away in the episode notes because I don't even know why you're here reading this but I guess we're in this together, AND I also wanted to tell you that we talk about exorcisms, Nazis (told you), banking anddd aliens in this episode.... If my memory serves correct.

It really is a pleasure.. to listen to.bAI. j/k AI could never write something so poetic and beautiful. /bye.

S4 Ep 42What's in a plane: the John Lear story (Part 1 of 2)

Let’s delve into the fascinating life of John Olsen Lear, a man whose journey took him from aviation records to UFO conspiracy theories.Episode Title: “From Skies to Secrets: The John Lear Story”Introduction: John Olsen Lear (1942–2022) was more than just an aviator; he became a central figure in UFO conspiracy theories during the 1980s. Born into a family with aviation roots, Lear’s life took unexpected twists that led him to explore the mysteries of extraterrestrial encounters.Early Life and Aviation Career:John Lear was born on December 3, 1942, to industrialist Bill Lear (founder of Learjet) and his wife, Moya Marie Olsen Lear1.His early years were marked by privilege and curiosity. Named after his maternal grandfather, famous comedian John Olsen, Lear’s upbringing was anything but ordinary.At the age of 14, he flew his first flight, and by 16, he completed his first solo flight. Lear’s passion for aviation was evident from an early age.In 1960, he joined his father’s company as a pilot and public relations representative. However, a biplane crash during stunt flying at his boarding school left him with lasting physical scars and a renewed sense of purpose1.Despite estrangement from his father, Lear continued to make aviation history. In 1966, he and a crewmate circumnavigated the globe in a LearJet, covering 22,000 miles in just 50 hours and 39 minutes1.His daring feats caught the attention of the rock band The Byrds, who immortalized Lear’s LearJet in their song "2-4-2 Foxtrot (The Lear Jet Song)".UFO Conspiracy Theories:In the 1980s, Lear’s life took an unexpected turn. He began speaking about alien collusion with secret governmental forces, becoming a prominent voice in UFO conspiracy circles1.Unlike previous theorists, Lear’s narrative went beyond unidentified flying objects. He claimed that extraterrestrial beings were actively involved with covert government operations

S4 Ep 33Fringe Mini- DUNE: washed away

Oh hello, I didn't see you there. You must be wondering about this episode we're both here listening to. Firstly, I recommend just having a listen to see what's going on, it's not that long. It is a (Fringey) mini after all. But if you insist on reading the episode notes as well, best I can recall is that it's about rich people who are trying to combat how scarily oceanfront their houses are becoming. The answer of course; sand dune. Does it work? I can't remember so I guess you're going to have to listen to the episode anyway, but I think we were already in agreeance that you would.

We’ll explore the controversy surrounding the Coso artifact.The Baigong Pipes of ChinaOur journey takes us to White Mountain in China, where pipe-like formations emerge from the earth. Are they fossilized trees or remnants of an ancient civilization? We’ll dive into the Baigong pipes’ secrets and their connection to Lake Toson.The Great Wall of TexasIn Rockwall, Texas, a seven-story-high, 20-mile-long “wall” baffles scientists. Was it built by giants, aliens, or natural forces? We’ll examine the evidence and unravel the enigma behind this colossal formation.Sabu Disc of EgyptOur final stop leads us to an Egyptian tomb, where an unusual disc was discovered. What purpose did it serve? Could it hold the key to lost knowledge? We’ll explore its significance and the theories surrounding its origin.Conclusion: As we wrap up our journey, we’ll reflect on the tantalizing questions raised by these out-of-place artifacts.

S4 Ep 30These stairs are up to something!!!!!

TGIF, and in F day spirit I' m about to let AI do my job! Not happy about it? Too bad because no one is paying me to do this! Before you venture !forth! please set your expectations low and listen to the episode as this description may or may not have anything to do with the what you listen to. Example, your host is not named Professor Curious McSpecs, but i'm sure you knew that? Enjoy!Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round! 🌲👣🔍This latest episode is wilder than a squirrel on an espresso binge! ☕🐿️Picture this: deep in the heart of the woods, where GPS signals go to die and compasses start questioning their life choices, there they stand—the Mysterious Stairs. 🌳🚶‍♂️Now, these aren’t your average IKEA steps. Oh no! These stairs are like the lovechild of a Rubik’s Cube and a cryptic crossword puzzle. Each step whispers secrets from the beyond, like, “Hey, did you know Bigfoot’s favorite dance move is the ‘Sasquatch Shuffle’?” 🕺🏽👣But wait, there’s more! 👀 These stairs may or may not be connected to strange disappearances. People vanish into thin air, leaving behind only their half-eaten granola bars and a confused owl. 🦉🌲Our intrepid host, Professor Curious McSpecs, armed with a magnifying glass and a pocket-sized conspiracy theory, dives headfirst into the stairwell rabbit hole. 🕳️🔍He interviews eyewitnesses, like Old Man Jenkins, who swears he saw Elvis moonwalking down those steps one foggy night. 🌚🕺And let’s not forget Staircase Stan, the local handyman who claims he fixed these stairs once. Apparently, they demanded a non-GMO, gluten-free railing. 🌱🛠️But the real kicker? The stairs lead to alternate dimensions. Yep, you heard me right. One step, you’re in Idaho; the next, you’re at a tea party with Cthulhu and the Loch Ness Monster. 🍵🦕Remember, if you hear banjo music while climbing these stairs, RUN. And don’t forget your hiking boots—because nothing says “adventure” like blisters and existential dread! 🥾😱“Journey to the Fringe”: Where the stairs are wonky, the disappearances are spooktacular, and the Wi-Fi signal is nonexistent. 📻🌌

S4 Ep 26If you've got it, haunt it.

E

**The longer this goes on, the more we let AI do our job, so I must disclose that I did not write the following description, and for authentic purposes (that's why you listen to us right?), I did not proof read this and on quick glance, it is not even close to being correct. The headings are though, so my job here is done.Welcome to the latest episode of “Journey to the Fringe: if you've got it, haunt it”! 🎙️ In this spine-tingling installment, we delve into the eerie world of haunted objects. Buckle up, because things are about to get spectrally peculiar! 👻1. “The Anguished Man” Painting: Imagine a canvas that screams louder than a toddler denied ice cream. This painting, aptly named “The Anguished Man,” is like a tortured soul trapped in acrylic. It’s so haunted that even Bob Ross would say, “Happy little ghosts? Nah, let’s paint some existential dread.”2. Carl Pruitt’s Grave: The Unofficial Origin of “Final Destination”: Carl Pruitt, a regular guy who just wanted to enjoy his morning coffee, accidentally tripped over his shoelace and fell into an open grave. Little did he know, he was auditioning for the lead role in “Final Destination.” The Grim Reaper was like, “You’re hired!” Now every time you spill coffee, Carl’s ghost chuckles from the afterlife.3. Thomas Busby’s Chair: The Ultimate Game of Musical (Haunted) Chairs: Thomas Busby loved his chair so much that he cursed it. Legend has it that anyone who dared sit in it met a grisly end. It’s like a deadly game of musical chairs, but instead of losing a seat, you lose your mortal coil. The chair whispers, “Sit down, my friend. Your fate awaits!”4. “The Hands Resist Him” Painting: This artwork makes “Mona Lisa” look like a cheerful stick figure. In “The Hands Resist Him,” creepy hands emerge from a portal, trying to escape the canvas. Critics say it’s a metaphor for unpaid taxes. But honestly, it’s just a portal to a parallel universe where hands have better things to do than pay bills.5. Ötzi the Iceman: Frosty with a Side of Spookiness: Ötzi, the ancient mummy found frozen in the Alps, isn’t just a popsicle with abs. He’s also a ghostly tour guide. Imagine hiking those icy peaks, and suddenly Ötzi appears, saying, “Welcome to the afterlife! Mind the frostbite.”6. The Bronze Lady Statue: She’s Got a Leg Up on the Competition: This bronze lady statue has a secret: She moonlights as a dance instructor. At night, she waltzes with other statues, teaching them the cha-cha and the tango. But beware—cross her, and she’ll cha-cha your soul right out of existence.7. The Myrtles Plantation Mirror: Reflections, Regrets, and Ghost Selfies: The Myrtles Plantation mirror doesn’t just reflect your face; it reflects your deepest regrets. Stare into it, and you’ll see that time you wore socks with sandals. The ghostly whisper? “Fashion faux pas, my friend.”8. The Chairs of Belcourt Castle: Where Seating Is a Spectral Sport: At Belcourt Castle, chairs play musical souls. Sit in one, and suddenly you’re at a séance with Elvis, Cleopatra, and a confused T. rex. The chairs giggle, “Welcome to the VIP section of the afterlife!”So grab your EVP recorder, charge your proton pack, and join us on this ghostly adventure. Remember, when life gives you haunted lemons, make spectral lemonade! 🍋👻

Join us as we explore two captivating mysteries: the Mud Flood Hypothesis and the enigmatic land of Tartaria.The Mud Flood Hypothesis:What if entire cities were buried beneath layers of mud and forgotten by modern civilization?

We’ll examine the evidence, from mysterious architectural anomalies to suppressed historical accounts, and ponder whether our textbooks have been keeping secrets from us.Unveiling Tartaria: Was it a vast empire lost to time, or a mere myth? We’ll journey through the fog of history.

S4 Ep 19Fringey Minis - Labor to the courts

Today we discuss a very direct attack on labor rights in the US being warred by Amazon, Elon Musk, and Trader Joes. This lawsuit could mean the end to specific regulatory bodies that protect the right to unionize and collectively bargain. Seeing as we talk a lot about the violent strikes that led to these rights we should probably cover this too... you know, before the rights are lost.The few things I couldn't remember are worth following up on SCOTUS heard the Chevron doctrine case in January and we are currently waiting for the results, here is an article on it: Supreme Court Hears Case That Could Overturn Key Chevron Precedent - The New York Times (nytimes.com) I don't think I did a great job describing what it is so read that article for a better idea.

We also look at the school they inhabited for a while.Join us as we journey to the fringe of reality and reason, and uncover the truth behind Romana Didulo, the Queen of Canada.

E

Nothing we could ever say or do would ever prepare you for what Taylor is about to anoint us with. Or something to that tune.Have you ever thought about what would happen if say, someone such as the pope, needed assistance with the artificial inteligence ethical conundrum of .. whatever century we're in? I assume its a future century with a sentence like that!Well, he does need help, and help he gets from a Friar named Paolo Benati and if that is not shocking enough... to mark this occasion I had AI write me a nice little joke;Why don't friars play hide and seek with artificial intelligence?Because good luck hiding from the Pope's AI, it always finds you!That about does it for me, because I can't top that. See ya Friday!https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2024/01/19/friar-paolo-benanti-artificial-intelligence-ai-ethics-vatican-246989**Please note that you may only call F. Benati if you are the Pope and have specific questions related to his (F. Benati) professional opinon on the ethics of artificial inteligence ethics. Only.

In this episode of Journey to the Fringe, we explore the history of Falun Gong, a spiritual movement that emerged in China in the early 1990s and quickly gained millions of followers. We trace the origins of Falun Gong’s founder and leader, Li Hongzhi, and his teachings that combine meditation, moral philosophy, and supernatural claims. We also examine how Falun Gong attracted the attention and ire of the Chinese Communist Party, which launched a brutal crackdown on the movement in 1999, banning it as an “evil cult” and subjecting its practitioners to imprisonment, torture, and organ harvesting.Music credit:80s Crime Thriller Soundtrack Playlist - Vice Beach // Royalty Free Copyright Safe MusicWhite Bat Audio

S4 Ep 4Paranormal Bigfoot 2.0

Hello, Bonjour,A double welcome back this week because 1.) it's new episode day and 2.) we're re-visiting an oldie but a goodie... well, it was a goodie but the audio was a badie hence why we've chosen a rejuvination this week!We're looking at high strageness and bigfoot this week. I bet you thought bigfoot was ALL high strangeness, but regular 9-5 bigfoot gets weirder. We're talking bigfoot's vague association, involvement, even piloting of UAPs.We're talking mimicry, missing time, lights, sounds, trees, portals, and all that fun super weird stuff that will make you not even want to look in the direction of a tree again.We also talk about the battle between bigfoot researchers and why they can't just all get along because we all have one thing in common, the love of bigfoot. From afar. That should be clarified because after this episode I don't even want to look at a forest (home of bigfoot)... or potentially even follow footsteps into my house. Lot's of shout outs this week for credit where credit is due;Research aided in part by "Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon" Joshua Cutchin , Timothy RennerAudio clips from...Owlhttps://cliffbarackman.com/home/research/sound-recordings/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nig1N4-e-EAKarl Casey @ White Bat Audio

S4 Ep 3Fringey minis - Space whales incoming...

E

Hello! And,! Welcome,! TO! Fringey mini Wednesday.The episodes where we meet you half way through your week because we miss you... and today! We're talking about Twain, less specifically, contact! With a whale, named Twain! That's right I said contact!!I was really stuck for what to write there, I think that turned out... alright... there's a reason Taylor does the openers... I just don't excel in the fine balance of delightful, obscure and satisfying opening words like he does.Anywho, it's a mini so I think that satisfies the requirements of 1.) vaguely letting you know what the episode is about and 2.) divulging just a little too much 3.) exclamation points! That's the Fringey way, plus all the other secret requirements I can't tell you about.. unless I mixed them up again.This is NOT the article Taylor referenced in the article because I couldn't find that one but this one will work if you need more info.

Welcome to 2024 and boy do we have the show to start you on your 2024 path of fringiness. That's right we continue to start our year off with a history of violent strikes, but this time we have focused in on one asshole company that has seemed to lurk in the background this whole time. Pinkertons was a detective agency with a real rich history.

S3 Ep 752023 - A Year in Review

E

This has been quite the year at Journey to the Fringe... and other places, probably, so prepare yourself for the episode you've all be waiting for... that is, a year in review. Did someone die, were aliens found, were any cults thwarted, did British Andy finally start going by the correct title and did someone finally taste wooly mammoth meat? There are not really answers to these questions, other than in our hearts, but we provide an update anyway on some of the stories we’ve been following this year. Give it a listen (it is a long one so really prepare yourself however you see fit)

S3 Ep 74Fringey Minis: A rustic farm experience... featuring McDonalds

Have you ever wondered how and why fast food restaurants pick the locations that they do? Probably not, it's usually a pretty straightforward answer. Today we look at a story making the rounds and the youth are Tocking about (I'm pretty sure that's the right use there) where a McDonalds opened up in such a remote location that it doesn't even connect to the electric grid and requires a generator to be operational.News Article: https://www.dailydot.com/news/new-mcdonalds-middle-of-nowhere/Music Credit:Nostalgic Synthwave Playlist - Back In Time // Royalty Free Copyright Safe MusicBy: White Bat AudioSource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSOl1M4L5BI&t=203s
