S4 Ep 28Phantom time hypothesis

Step into a historical enigma with us as we explore the Phantom Time Hypothesis. This episode takes you through a controversial theory that suggests a segment of the Middle Ages may have never occurred. We’ll dissect the claims of Heribert Illig, who proposed that a conspiracy led by Holy Roman Emperor Otto III, Pope Sylvester II, and possibly Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII, created a fictitious timeline. Was Charlemagne merely a figment of rewritten history? Dive into this fringe theory with us and decide for yourself.

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! 🍋👻

S4 Ep 24An empire built on sauce will be lost in the mud... as the saying goes

In this riveting episode, we delve into the enigmatic realms of forgotten history, where whispers of cataclysmic events and lost civilizations echo through time. 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? The Mud Flood Hypothesis proposes just that—a radical theory that ancient advanced societies were wiped out by massive floods of mud. 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. From the enigmatic Tartarian maps to the phantom cities, we’ll unravel the web of intrigue surrounding this elusive civilization (but maybe say it's a stupid theory a couple times also)Remember it may not be a good theory, but it's a fun one.Also remember, truth lies at the edges of convention. Tune in to “Journey to the Fringe” and let your curiosity guide you beyond the veil of accepted history. 🎙️🔍✨Oh also here is that guy saying to look directly at a solar eclipse: https://t.me/TartariaHistoryChannel/15290Music credit:Gaming 🎮 lofi Hip Hop beats (Twitch and streamer friendly)By: MoonSoulsource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=217PWQlTYMI&t=242s

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. The EPA is in charge of environmental protection. David Acosta was Trump's secretary of labor and the guy was not good for labor, here is an article on the subject: Trump’s Labor Secretary Is a Wrecking Ball Aimed at Workers | The New Yorker any how Acosta was also the attorney in Florida who wrote a super sketchy deal with Epstein to avoid all his crimes from coming to light and Acosta had to step down when shit hit the fan. Eugene Scalia replaced him and he was just as shitty and also happened to be the son of a deceased Republican Supreme Court Justice, Here is an article on the subject: Column: Trump has turned the Department of Labor into the Department of Employer Rights - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)Lastly here's an article on the UAW head Shawn Fain expressing his rich eating views: U.A.W.

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.

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.

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)

Yes I definitely titled this slightly misleadingly for the clicks, there's really no mention of the new world order in this episode. What there is to talk about though is a movement of the third world during the cold war to instill more fairness in the world economic order. We talk about the Bandung Conference, the Non-Aligned Movement, the G77 and the New International Economic Order.Music Credit2 Hour Synthwave MIX - L.A.

S3 Ep 66Fringey Minis - NASA talks aliens??

Good news everyone! we are bringing you the mundanitty that is the bureaucratic side of the UFO world. Here we have a report released by NASA (and also we learn what NASA stands for) showing some research they have conducted into UFOs (or UAPs as they call them). Prepare to hear a bit about the ridiculousness happening in Mexico with their alien body but for the most part this is educational!News source: https://www.singularfortean.com/news/2023/9/15/nasa-releases-ufo-report-amidst-alien-body-controversy-in-mexican-congressMusic credit:Nostalgic Synthwave Playlist - Back In Time // Royalty Free Copyright Safe MusicWhite Bat Audiosource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSOl1M4L5BI&t=203s

S3 Ep 65The paranormal abroad

E

Welcome back my dudes.... isn't that what the bros are saying these days?Neither here, nor there. What is there is this weeks episode of Journey to the Fringe.This episode requires subtitles as we're going international this week in our search for some new and exciting paranormal creatures because we're bored of the old ones!I don't want to give it all away in one place but... this week we're talking eggs, feet, clothing, remote controls (maybe), apartment buildings and lanterns. As well as office culture, fractions (1/2) AND the winning lottery numbers.Sound paranormal to you? Not in the least...But it is! And also new and exotic.With that, I believe I have been precisely vague enough to give you the very least amount of information I possibly could to entice you to listen to this very episode. Enjoy bros!Street creds;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjbOd3Qe6R0Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

S3 Ep 64Fringey Mini- We've been neglecting Earth's attic

Welcome, to the fringiest of minis. Well, no fringier than the other minis, really… It’s an equal amount of fringe. Sorry to have come off so strong.This week, Taylor has had his fill of optimism for the time being. That means, more uncomfortable news. This time focusing on the one area of the globe you thought was safe. That’s right, it’s exactly the location you thought. But you should probably take a listen to make sure we read your mind correctly. If we have failed to in fact read your mind incorrectly, please send complaints to [email protected] so we can do better next time. If not we will consider your mind to have been wrong. Upper atmosphere debris. That about meets the word count quota, see ya Friday!Creds; https://www.livescience.com/space/space-exploration/falling-metal-space-junk-is-changing-earths-upper-atmosphere-in-ways-we-dont-fully-understandDon't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

E

Well I bet you saw this title and thought you were in for smooth sailing... Well most people don't read this so I'm pretty sure I can let you in on the secret. This episode is covering what is currently the second largest mass suicide on record which may turn into the largest mass suicide in human history. Yes, you still have to listen even though you know the twist. Just try to act surprise when we get to there.Music credit;80's Night Drive Synthwave Background Music | Royalty Free No Copyrightby; BRAND X MUSICsource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N090Ycet4YU&t=89s

S3 Ep 61Sink ships and shapeshift

E

Hey! [insert name here]! Was that us beconing you from the abyss of podcastland or a Skinwalker, trying to lure you out of safety, or running alongside your car? I guess we’ll never know. As you may or may not know by now, this week we’re talking about Skin walkers, the yee naaldlooshii, Navajo lore for a shapeshifting witch. We learn and grow a great deal in this episode as we learn about the background of the Skin walker and what makes a skinwalker, a skinwalker. Apparently every reference we have made to a skinwalker prior to this has been wrong! You know, I really have no other information to put here that you can’t find in the episode so I would highly recommend listening to that if you’re looking for more info! Oh yeah, we also have sightings which is always fun, sometimes terrifying. Same thing though sometimes, BYE!Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

S3 Ep 59You know... Giant stuff

E

It’s that time of year again, time to talk about giant stuff. That’s a thing right? It happens at least every 3 years in our experience. This trienal, we’re talking about the giant of Kandahar. That’s the enormous humanoid creature allegedly encountered and killed by a group of American army soldiers on a mountainside in Afghanistan. Snopes tried to debunk it but we’re sceptical, of the debunkers of course.We also talk about L. A. Marzulli, size judgement, plus! More military giant stories that I can't just give away here. You have to work for it!I have more space to fill so I will give you other title contenders; Chill yet purposeful vibes. Giant stuff. Giants. Those that make goats look like cats.That about all, no wait, i’m still not sure about the Princess Bride reference if someone could enlighten me, maybe I haven't seen the movie.

S3 Ep 58Fringey Mini - It sure as hell wasn't the Homo Sapiens**

E

Hello journey-ors, I am back, in a way you wouldn’t have known I was gone! Don’t you love when an episode comes together to make a perfectly edited episode? Well I do, and i’m feeling fresh, and scattered! Does anyone actually read these?Anywho, this week we’re talkin’ not carbon dating, in a mini way! That’s right, they found a really f***ing old wooden structure. How do you know, you might ask? They guessed! Well, kind of, probably.. it was luminescence dating… that probably wasn’t the focus of the article, but my job is to just put words here that make sense. Just kidding, it’s not my job.Now that i'm reading this article I can see why Taylor had trouble pronouncing Aberystwyth University. That’s probably enough information to put here for a mini, see you Friday!Editors note: Glad to confirm that you do not have to take this source with a grain of salt as I did find multiple sources reporting this very information.

S3 Ep 56Fringey Minis - One man's ritualistic suicide is another man's yoga class

Do you guys remember in Naked Gun where Frank says "Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy." and the Mayor says "That was a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar, you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones!"... I'm guessing not, it's a pretty obscure reference... anyhow this story is kinda like that... I'm going to have a good think on why my brain decided you needed to know this association, but that's for me, you need to enjoy the episode!Music credit: Dark Sci-Fi Horror Synth - Transcendence // Royalty Free No Copyright Background Musicby: White Bat Audiosource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsY5bkr9XWoArticle: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/police-rush-to-report-of-a-ritual-mass-killing-but-it-was-just-a-yoga-class_n_64fb7481e4b08f0f4ebd9024
