What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

A very entertaining podcast. The hosts are very knowledgeable on many different esoteric subjects and their interview with Paul Weston is one of my favorites.

Magwai Slayer · Jan 2025

If you’re into ufology, synchronicities, the intellectual side of paranormality, art, literature, philosophy, etc., this is a wonderful show. The hosts are interesting and well read. This show covers all kinds of fun and odd things. Most paranormal shows are on the level of ghost hunting with Zak Bagans (…which is fine). This one is more like sitting at a campfire, telling true UFO stories with two friends that are modern day blends of Charles Fort/John Keel/CG Jung/John Keats, that used to do psychedelics in college 20 years ago.

TheGallopingGhost · Jan 2024

For those with a vested interest in topics of UFOlogy (aka UAPology), the occult, and cult horror, don't skip this pod! Ben and Dave both have an informed understanding of these topics, and come to the pod well-read and researched. They keep it nice and light, while managing to dive deep into the material.

Garth Merenghi · Oct 2023

I was searching around for a discussion about Tracy Twyman and was fortunate enough to land on the July episode - 42 minutes in and I couldn’t be more impressed with the discussion It had me at “yeah , I’ve got Clock Shavings right here “ . The introduction to her work was spot on. The airwaves are littered with “ Johnny Q come lately “ nonsense- it’s real nice to find people who know what they are talking about and add interesting and valuable knowledge to the subject. I am exited to listen to more episodes-

Dagon rules · Sep 2021

I *want* to like this show. It covers lots of interesting topics and the hosts are generally knowledgeable. But one of the hosts begins, ends, and peppers each and every sentence with the word “like.” And like I really like find this like super-annoying like, and like I kinda like unsubscribed like.
