Journey to the Fringe

Remember when we talked about the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and there handling of a mass shooting?? Well we are going to talk about them again, and this time it's nothing but good news (jk... I needed to have fun somewhere). Today we are going to talk about a made in Canada investigation technique known as Mr. Big. This technique involves befriending a suspect, paying them thousands of Canadian dollars (that's a lot trust me), making the suspect do fake illegal things, and then making then admit to the crime or be cut off from all the above. As the kids are saying, it's sus (and that's as far as my "with it" will take me so just let that bring the average coolness of this whole description up to a hip level please). Join us for this discussion of the RCMP (Royal Canadian Malfeasance Police... I'll see myself out now)In the intro we discuss the coming of the James Webb Space Telescope age, ALL HAIL THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE AND THE GOODNESS IT BRINGS IN THE FORM OF HIGH REZ FAR AWAYNESS!! Also Chelsie takes a bastardized approached to "topical" news and discusses a missing person case from case from 2019. I guess the rules are just out the window now.Music: @Argsound Background Music Name of track: "Night" Link: https://youtu.be/k_zGJWZy6gkName of track: "The Prison" Link: https://youtu.be/k_zGJWZy6gk

Today we are discussing those weird sections of the Earth we have summarily determined weird simply by the shape we can describe them as. the triangle zones. Of course the most well known of these little tri-laterals is the Bermuda triangle, but dare I say there's more!... although a good chunk of this episode is spent discussing the Bermuda Triangle and then we only go on to discuss one more, but don't hold the words I write to the words I speak! The Bermuda Triangle has captivated the minds of a western audience for decades so of course we had to cover it. BUT we also covered a triangle with missing congress members and military vehicles, UFO sightings, humanoid cryptid sightings and of course a missing cocoon boy. Of course I am talking about the Alaska triangle, or what some consider the last great untamed wilderness. Now strap yourself in for a listen and prepare to be educated on but one shape!! (and don't forget your notepad!)In the intro we discuss educational options for those looking to major in looking for weird stuff in the sky... You still can't but we're getting closer!Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

There's a funny thing about history. It's subjective, some would say written by the winners. Well that probably means there's some things that happened that are fringe. Legally that means we can cover it (Law of Fringe RSBC 1498. c 3000)! The spot where this is most relevant for this episode is workers strikes. They get bloody, trains get tipped, roundhouses get... well nothing actually happens to the roundhouses but I think the point got across. Today we are going to look at three historical strikes that occurred in the US:The Great Railroad strike of 1877The Pullman strike of 1894The Battle of Blair Mountain 1921I don't want to spoil too much but we sure don't strike like they used to. Grab a picket sign, join a sit in and give this episode a listen. In the intro we discussed the ongoing legal battle engulfing Julian Assange. Prepare yourself for the banal bureaucracy that is the legal system (there's violence after if you can get through it!)Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

Today we discussed genocides (let's just rip that bandaid off). Humans have been doing these for eons and are unfortunately likely to continue to do so into the future. So we thought it would be worth our time to discuss some of these historical events that may not be as well known as they should be. We look at the Qing genocide of the Dzungars in 1757, the Hatian genocide of 1904 and the Indonesian massacre of 1965. There is a lot to unpack in all of these and I think it's best if I just let you all listen to the info instead of my usual rambly ways.This episode contains description of death, torture and other general bad vibes material, viewer discretion is advised.In the intro we discuss topical court cases coming out of the US impacting workers rights.

Time is one hell of a concept, one day you got milk and then well either spoiled milk or the making of a good cheese depending on how you want to look at it. A linear flow from A to B then we can assume C. Well sometimes time doesn't want to flow so fluidly. Today we discuss those times. Listen as we discuss cases of individuals who believe they have slipped through the curtain to times immemorial. We also discuss similar themes found within folklore and paranormal encounters. Throw this on and just let the time slip(sorry) away.In the intro we discuss Prince Andrew now only shamefully known as British Andy. We will discuss why!

Cruise sure look like the life, beautiful locales, new adventures, friendly staff, food and drinks as far as the eye can see and all at a family friendly price. What if I told you that this is a public image that has been carefully crafted by PR specialist to sell an industry that at best is ethically and morally corrupt (in our opinion... gotta be careful throwing words around like that). From the carefully selecting their governing laws as if they picked them out from an artisanal bread Shoppe, to the utter avoidance of paying anyone in the pursuit of maximum profit, its environmental impact, and zealous pursuit of the perfect image there are many trade secrets this industry likes to keep below deck. Let's grab a dingy and venture out into some international waters for a listen!In the intro we discussed the uprising currently taking place in Kazakhstan. I'm not saying it's world war 3... because that would be wrong as World War 1 never happened. Keep up with the lore sheeple!!

Hey it's a new year and a chance to better ourselves with some fringe knowledge!Today we look at World War 2 (WW2 for those in a hurry) and the rush to remove Nazi scientists from their natural habitat and relocate them to a better eco-system where they could thrive as a species. This is known as Operation Paperclip and it is a very real thing that happened (for real!). We look first at the political climate that set this operation up and then at the dirty details. I hope you brought your learning cap, cuz fringe education is in session... and the learning cap is a mandatory piece of the fringe uniform... and we don't have any extras. Well let's get started!In the intro we talk about the Boulder, Colorado and have a discussion about the irradiated mess that is Rocky Flats (It came up organically promise).Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

After a year of covering some current events we were bound to need to come back to some of our stories. So why not end the year with it? This is a compilation of all the stories that interrupt your morning quiet contemplation while old episodes of All In the Family play in the background and your morning strudel heals from the trauma that is the oven just enough to be enjoyable in an ethical way should it one day spontaneously develop sentience. Don't worry your perfectly normal and logical morning routine can return to its uninterrupted flow as we have the answers!!In this episode we follow up on:Steven DonzigerJulian AssangeThe Belarus/Poland border conflictThe Berlin Landlord expropriation Chilean and Peruvian politicsGabriel Wartmanto name just a few... there's more but I didn't write them all down :(and don't forget about special guest US government UFO commissions!! We have some fun and so should you!! (in a responsible and logical fashion)Whatever's in store I'm sure we can say it's good? yeah we can say that.

What would Christmas be if not for the jolly red suited wizard we hail as Santa Claus. Probably more religious that's for sure. Although many heard tales around the playground about a friend who "totally saw him" or had a dad who was friends with him, he's always been a pretty ellusive character. Has anybody actually seen the guy? Well what if I were to tell you there is deep lore in the subject that can fill up at least *looks down at show notes* 40 minutes of air time? I know hard to believe but with some well placed filler banter it was possible. pour that cocoa, eat those cookies that were probably for someone else (we don't judge here) and give it a listen, it's medically proven to be just as healthy as not listening to it so you're in safe hands probably!In the intro we discuss the outcome in the latest Julian Assange trial in the UK and whether the US can finally settle that score they made up against him. We also discuss James Webb, the telescope set to take over for the Hubble in the coming years. Is it up there doing its thing??

Today we look at the hidden folk working in Santa's workshop. Sure they may just be salve labour, but maybe there's more! Sit back and listen to the cultural history of elves that plays into the lore of Christmas. Where does this come from? Did we breed them for their luxurious leather used in Santa's suspenders? God I hope not but I can't confirm here, guess you'll have to listen. In the intro we discuss the school shooting in Michigan where the shooter's parents have been charged and also a boom in Panoka... which is a place... and I think that describes it well (Sorry Ponokans).Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

Welcome to the strange traditions of Christmas! We are going to span the globe and see how different cultures celebrate this holiday and boy do some take it to strange ends. We look at all the poop that comes with Christmas in Catalonia, whether it be coming out of a nativity participant or beaten out of a log. We move on to witches associated with the season. To round out Europe we look at Scandinavian traditions of sketchy dwarves with porridge requirements and flaming goats that you most definitely should not alight if you are near.Asia brings up the end where we see you don't have to be Christian to enjoy this holiday!In the intro we discuss the rumors going around about the queen of England being dead, and talk about a confirmed conspiracy involving the death of a royal.Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

Today we became 18% more holly with 13% more Christmas cheer! I did not think this was possible!!!!I bet you thought Christmas was just Christmas, well maybe you should listen, cause there's just a lot we need to talk about. Taylor focuses on the Romans and their Saturnalia and Chelsie focuses on the Germanic tribes and their Yule. Can these wacky odd tribes ever come together in their celebrations? yes (sorry it was meant to be rhetorical but I hate leaving questions unanswered). Also just sooooo much Christmas Cheer.In the intro we discuss the great floods afflicting British Columbia in Canada. Should Noah arrive we will let you know but for now the human affliction we all face is the real talking point.Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

Mothman, as made famous by John Keel, has been predominantly put forth with several known facts:It's strongly associated Point Pleasant,It's mothlike, andIt's male in features.But what if we were to tell you this is all the above is a lie? In this episode we look at the lesser known but far more pervasive "mothman" sightings of the Chicago area. They span a larger time period, have far more dramatic sightings, but also bring into question the very name of this cryptid.Is it really mothlike?Does it outwardly present as male?What about the genitals???? are those male?!?!?!?!Oh god does it have moth genitals?!?!?!??!ENOUGH QUESTIONS!!!!Come listen to the episode and get your perverted questions answered cuz we did the perverted research on this one.In the intro we discuss the political turmoil between Belarus and Poland.

I like to think its fun and I am the only person I polled so it has tested well! Please listen if you never learned about the Panama Papers, what happened, or just need a refresher. Lets take a trip to some place exotic where the line between us and our secret corporation are as loose as the bartender's pours.

Today we talk about the Mandela effect, what happens when your memory just ain't pulling the weight it should but you don't want to blame it. We cover the actual idea of the Mandela effect. Next we move on to the biggest real world examples, and boy I bet you've fallen for at least one. We talk about Star Wars, Star Trek, Snow White, Scary Movie, Fruit of the Loom, Monopoly, South African Politics, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Curious George and many others... Seriously tons more.

Hat man - What's in a hat? Apparently many a spook with this wicked amorphous character. Sometimes believed to be a subset of shadow people, this creature strikes fear, dread and a sense of doom into it's victims. Although tough to describe this is definitely a fascinating character to discuss.The Popelick Monster - half man, half goat, and half bloody axe. This beast takes no prisoners, with it's psychic powers and blood thirsty vengeance against humanity. luring teenagers to their doom is this an allegory for train safety or is their something more to it?

Today we are talking about actual gates to Hell on Earth. This is a very liberal take on the subject as we are looking at historical entry points, along with literal "gates to Hell" as found on Earth. It's a wonder how many of these are out there but once you realize that many are from previous religious interpretations. We touch o Greek, Roman, Turmani, Incan, and Voodoo interpretations on the subject. In the preamble we discuss the update on the Steven Donziger trial along with the Pandora papers, with a follow up coming soon. For Real!!

This episode is all about exorcisms and particularly through the lens of Catholicism. We look at the history of the practice, where it has come from to where it is today and the changes in between. We then touch on the shortage of exorcists in the world today. We finish off with documented cases where exorcisms have been performed (whether or not they were successful you be the judge) and hot headlines in this world. It's a real ride, hope you brought your own seatbelt because there's not enough money in the budget yet :(. Highly recommend this episode at some point other than attempting to fall asleep.In the intro today we discuss the public housing expropriation proposition voted on in Berlin.Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

The month of spooks continues as we journey into the woods and see what chills await. We are circling the globe looking for haunted forests and take detours to: Hoia Baciu forest in Romania, the suicide forest of Tokyo, Ballyboley forest in Northern Ireland, the Devil's tramping grounds in North Carolina, and Dow Hill in India. The Black forest in Germany and Witchwood forest in England also make a cameo appearance.

Indrid Cold, as made famous by John Keel is a name in paranormal you may have heard before. Is this notoriety necessary?

This is the epic conclusion to the Drug Wars trilogy. When we last saw our hero and heroine, they were waging battle with the cunning and manipulative Harry Anslinger. But he has died and drugs will surely be treated in an equal and fair manor moving forward. Special guest appearances from Milhouse, Reaganomics, a smooth saxman, and to great apes for comedic relief. This episode contains laughs, knowledge, existential dread and a reference to sloppy steaks so viewer discretion is advised.The intro this week takes a look at the end of the eviction moratorium in the United States and we somehow end up talking about the Muppet Christmas Carol, as all worthwhile conversations do. Enjoy!

We continue the history of drugs in society. This takes a look at the beginning of criminalization to most drugs in North America spanning the time from the late 1800's to the 1960's. Particular attention is paid to Harry Anslinger and his work within the bureaucracy of the American government and the transition he concocted from alcohol prohibition to the next mania (which I'm sure you can guess). There are quotes in this episode that contain derogatory terms for ethnic minorities, viewer discretion is advised.

In this episode we discuss the history of major drugs prior to criminalization, mainly drugs derived from cannabis, poppies, and coca plants. This history spans multiple cultures and thousands of years. Were they gifts bestowed upon us by the gods? Were they plagues levied against the human race by demons? or was it the simple answer, aliens? sit back and have a listen, we are not here to judge how you partake just to make the words and then say those words in the order dictated by English grammar rules.Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.

We live in strange times with strange economic forces and decisions being made in smoky back rooms hidden from the view of you the consumer. This episode sheds light on some business practices you may not have been aware exist and are wideky used across many industries:Planned obsolescence: the practice of intentionally shortening the life of your product consumer buy your product faster.Perceived obsolescence: the practice of making consumers perceive their old version of your product is obsolete and therefore requires replacing faster.Shrinkflation: the practice of imperceptibly decreasing the quantity in which a product is sold without decreasing the price and thereby increasing the per unit price of the product without consumer awareness.

We bring you a polarizing couple held up atop the ghost hunting community, Ed and Lorraine Warren. A couple that investigate haunted houses from the 1950's into the 2000's and left there fingerprints all over what are considered some of the most iconic cases in the horror community. From The Conjuring, the Haunting in Connecticut, and Amityville Horror, this couple had a penchant for flare. Was all this attention warranted though? You be the judge as we look at demons, possessed dolls, possible bribery, ESP and just general research. I know I was engaged the whole time and I hope you are too!

This episode is a discussion of the Drake Equation - first posed by Frank Drake to answer the question "how many communicable civilizations are in the Milkyway galaxy?" in the 1960's we go over the factors and the answers you can come to from there.We then look at the Fermi paradox, proposed by Enrico Fermi which then asks "then where are these civilizations?". Many smart people have turned there mind to answering this paradox and today we go over a sampling of them. From the rare Earth to the zoo hypothesis no one can claim these aren't a fun thought experiment. Sit back, relax and enjoy some banter on a topic these hosts thoroughly enjoy.

We take a look at the mass shooting in Nova Scotia that took place in April of 2020. This is the largest mass shooting in Canadian history and spans 13 hours in its entirety. We begin with a breakdown of the events that took place and left so many people dead. We then look at the perpetrator's past and some peculiarities about him. Finally we look at the RCMP and how it has acted both prior to, during, and after the mass shooting. There are a lot of questions that still require answers, but this is still a very interesting case and one you probably don't know the whole story on. Sit back, relax and give us a listen (we really appreciate it!).

This is a heavy episode. We talk with you today about animal mutilation. A long documented phenomenon whereby animals are found dead missing organs, bloodless, and surgical like incisions in the middle of a farmers field. We begin with a brief history, move onto famous cases, look at explanations for this phenomena and end with a truly depressing story of a corpse exhibiting the same characteristics as what is described above. Viewer discretion is advised as is not eating right before your listen. We begin this episode off with a discussion on the election that has just transpired in Peru (at the time of recording).

Today we are talking about the wide world of recycling, with a particular emphasis with the plague of plastic and the problems plastic provides. We begin our journey at the introduction of the plastic industry to a post-WW2 world and how much advertising pushed the plastic industry front and center. We then move to various attempts to deal with the plastic garbage and the obfuscation used to answer the issue. We then move to an international look and see have a brief glimpse of the international trade of "recyclable" materials. We finally finish off with a look at a few things you can do to help fix the problems the current system has created. Here's a link to the referenced Basel Action Network: https://www.ban.org/we start the episode off talking about the various junk problems plaguing space at the moment

Today we look at two one off creatures that have the creature caught on film. The Fresno Night Crawler and the metal man of Falkville. Both of these sightings leave behind better filmed evidence than eye witness accounts and were a lot of fun to look at. Keep an eye on the social medias for the videos and pictures discussed in the episode. These are some interesting cryptids to say the least.Follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/journeytothefringe_/) or stop by a live recording on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/journeytothefringe) we record live every Sunday starting at 8:30 PM PST.

Today we look at the historical figure Aleister Crowley, known mostly as a turn of the century occultist who enjoyed his gramatikal erors.
