The Telepathy Tapes

by Ky Dickens

The Telepathy Tapes is a podcast that explores the origins of consciousness and the unexplained abilities of ESP through science, verifiable experience, formal testing, and human story. In Season One, non-speaking individuals with autism reveal striking telepathic abilities that challenge everything we thought we knew about the mind. In Season Two, The Consciousness Cassettes, the lens widens to extraordinary experiences that invite us to rethink reality itself. From near-death experiences to telepathic communication with animals, energy healing to plant intelligence, and the origins of creativity to sudden savant abilities, each episode offers a rare glimpse into the vast terrain of consciousness beyond the brain. In Season Three, The Reincarnation Records, the investigation deepens with a provocative question: What if memory doesn’t begin at birth? Through children’s seemingly impossible past-life memories, families’ searches for answers, and researchers’ efforts to verify extraordinary details, the season explores whether these accounts could offer clues to one of humanity’s oldest mysteries: Does consciousness survive death?

This podcast is priceless and I tell anyone who’ll listen- that it is life changing! Thank you for your efforts and care spreading this valuable knowledge!

Petal & Stem in VT · Oct 2026

I liked listening much more before you started speeding up the episodes so they would fit into a certain time frame. Now it’s too stressful to try to keep up with the speed and no spaces between words/sentences/speakers. Feels more frantic than informative…

My2cents · Oct 2026

I absolutely love this show. It’s so thorough and great. However, I was just listening to a heartfelt story of a mom who lost her son and it was cut off right in the middle for ads. This feels insensitive. I understand the need for ads, but the team needs to work on the timing. Honor the people sharing heartfelt stories and the listeners by not playing a random add for clothes midway through such sensitive stories. This didn’t happen in previous seasons fyi. I hope the tech team sees this and improves.

A.M. Ramos · Sep 2026

Two friends strongly recommended this separately and I always listen when more than one person shares the same thing! I have long believed that people who have what most of the world sees as disabilities are actually graced with special gifts. It makes sense that struggling to navigate the world in the usual ways might open you to something unique. Thanks so much for this incredible insight.

Surviving to Thriving · Aug 2026

This is nothing but a new form of facilitated communication which has been shown to be fake. Sadly, this is only harming families and autistic individuals as most ‘communication’ partners are subconsciously eliciting the communication and autistic individuals are having thoughts attributed to them.

Maetrix76 · Sep 2026

The ideomotor effect is obvious in the tapes. The ideomotor effect is well-established in facilitated communication. Save your money and just look up the term. By the way, it’s unethical to charge people to view the research! The way the experiments are described in the podcast is very misleading. Telepathy may exist but this reporter has done a grave disservice to this topic and especially to the families, whom she is exploiting. If she truly believes in the veracity of her reporting she would have scientists on to employ some basic critical thinking and counterpoints. Even a psych 101 student can point out the obvious flaws of these experiments.
